Backup with domain name

**Viktor** · Jun 12th 2017

Hello,

I copy all domain backup to another server in a folder.

Now all backups are called "web-backup *".

I now no longer know which backup belongs to a domain.

Before 1.4x was still the domain name with in the backup.

How can I insert the name or VU number or domainid in the backup.

So it is then again uniquely assignable.

Kind regards
Viktor

Hello Viktor,

I noticed the same with my backup script. I rewrote it to take the name of the domain from the directory and attach it to the final filename so that each file is named individually again.

Hallo,

I send all with FTP "mput" so I can not rename it.

I thin I must rename with a script all backups ?

Kind regards

Hi,

yes I guess you have to create a script which renames or repacks everything before you transfer it to your backup location. I use the script (collects all backups to one folder named by date, creates subfolder by customer and then transfers folder) below to transfer all backups via rsync - you can try to adapt it to use with mput:

Shell-Script

#!/bin/sh
#
# Print information to log file
/usr/bin/logger "Backup to remote location started"
# Current directory
pwd=$(pwd)
# Collection folder for this days backups
backup_folder=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
# Change to user directory
cd ~
# Create collection folder for this days backups
mkdir $backup_folder
# Change to collection folder
cd $backup_folder
# Check if i-MSCP config backup file exist
if ls /var/www/imscp/backups/config-backup-$(date +"%Y.%m.%d")*.tar.bz2 1> /dev/null 2>&1; then
# Copy i-MSCP config backup file
cp /var/www/imscp/backups/config-backup-$(date +"%Y.%m.%d")*.tar.bz2 .
fi
# Check if i-MSCP system backup exist
if ls /var/www/imscp/backups/imscp-$(date +"%Y.%m.%d")*.sql.bz2 1> /dev/null 2>&1; then
# Copy i-MSCP system backup file
cp /var/www/imscp/backups/imscp-$(date +"%Y.%m.%d")*.sql.bz2 .
fi
# Check if backups of virtual hosts exist
if ls /var/www/virtual/*/backups/*.bz2 1> /dev/null 2>&1; then
web_path=/var/www/virtual/
backup_files=$(find $web_path -name "*.bz2")
for backup_file in $backup_files
do
subfolder=${backup_file#/var/www/virtual/}
subfolder=${subfolder%/backups/*}
file=${backup_file##*/}
if [ ! -d "$subfolder" ]; then
mkdir $subfolder
fi
# Copy virtual hosts backup files
cp $backup_file $subfolder
done
fi
# Change to parent directory
cd ..
# Transfer collection folder to remote backup location
<<your transfer command here>>
# Delete collection folder
rm -rf $backup_folder
# Change to previous directory
cd $pwd
# Print information to log file
/usr/bin/logger "Backup to remote location finished"

If mput cannot transfer folders you could tar the backup_folder before transfering.

Hallo,

on my test server I edit the Perl script "imscp-backup-all".

I put the domain_id in the backup name.

I see this night it is working.

When not I must use your script.

Thanks
Viktor

@Viktor

I can readd the domain name if if you want.
