Input Better backup options

[Søren]

So we just started using Plesk for our e-commerce sites, but the issue is the backup option is to limited!

We normally do DB backup 4 times everyday, and file backups once everyday, then transfering it to different locations, i know that Plesk preview is going to give us support for S3 Backup.

But the scheduling is stil to limited, why not integrate a scheduler where you can set multiple backup points, and set up what type of backup should be done at what hours etc.

Right now the only option we got is running a dedicated mysql backup script, and Duplicati to get a wider array of backup options.

Currently our backup setup required, 2xFTP Backup (One to internal FTP, and one to External FTP, and all MySQL backups are put on S3 to)

But with the Plesk backup solution we can't do a decent backup once a day is just not secure enough when you are running multiple e-commerce sites.

Hello @Søren ,

if you are running a e-commerce , you can manually backup your database using mysqldump :

MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysqldump -u admin    database_name   >   database.sql

There is a bash script to dump all databases available :

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MiteshShah/admin/master/backup/mysqldump.sh
bash mysqldump.sh

To run the script, just create a file /root/my.cnf
With the following content :

[client]
user = admin
password = copy the content of /etc/psa/.psa.shadow

This way you can automate your mysql backup with a cronjob, and you can easily send them to a ftp or AWS S3 with rclone.
