How to activate backups afterwards for one domain ?

Phinous · Oct 4th 2014

Hi,

During installation, I have disabled auto backup because I use a personnal script.
But one customer want to have his own backup.

What is the way to activate the autobackup, but only for one customer ?

* Distribution in use : 7.0 (Wheezy)
* i-MSCP version in use : 1.1.14 (eagle)
* Server implementation in use : dovecot, Apache FPM, Mysql

1. Enable the backup function in the installer script
2. In the panel enable it just for this customer (you need to be logged in as reseller)

Hello ;

More info for the installer and setup script options (example for the 1.2.x branch):

Shell-Script

root@wheezy:/usr/local/src/imscp# perl imscp-autoinstall -r helpUsage: perl imscp-autoinstall [OPTION]... -b, --build-only Process build steps only. -f, --force-reinstall Force reinstallation of distro packages. -s, --skip-distro-packages Do not install/update distro packages. -r, --reconfigure [item] Type --reconfigure help. -n, --noprompt Switch to non-interactive mode. -p, --preseed <file> Path to preseed file. -l, --listener <file> Path to listener file. -c --clean-packages-cache Cleanup i-MSCP packages cache. -a --skip-packages-update Skip i-MSCP packages update -d, --debug Force debug mode. -?, --help Show this help. Without any argument, the --reconfigure option allows to reconfigure allitems. You can reconfigure a specific item by pasing it name as argument. Available items are: all|servers|httpd|mta|mailfilters|po|ftpd|named|sql|hostnames|system_hostnamepanel_hostname|resolver|ips|admin|php|panel_ssl|services_ssl|ssl|backupwebstats|sqlmanager|webmail|filemanager|antirootkits

Or with the setup script:

Shell-Script

root@wheezy:/usr/local/src/imscp# perl /var/www/imscp/engine/setup/imscp-setup -r helpUsage: perl imscp-setup [OPTION]... -r, --reconfigure [item] Type --reconfigure help. -n, --noprompt Switch to non-interactive mode. -p, --preseed <file> Path to preseed file. -l, --listener <file> Path to listener file. -c --clean-packages-cache Cleanup i-MSCP packages cache. -a --skip-packages-update Skip i-MSCP packages update -d, --debug Force debug mode. -?, --help Show this help. Without any argument, the --reconfigure option allows to reconfigure allitems. You can reconfigure a specific item by pasing it name as argument. Available items are: all|servers|httpd|mta|mailfilters|po|ftpd|named|sql|hostnames|system_hostnamepanel_hostname|resolver|ips|admin|php|panel_ssl|services_ssl|ssl|backupwebstats|sqlmanager|webmail|filemanager|antirootkits

Another way is to edit the related variables directly in the imscp.conf file (this avoid to run the installer or setup script):

Shell-Script

Once it's done, you must activate the backup feature by editing the domain properties as stated by @Ninos .

Thanks for these very clear answers
I prefer the last way : I like to understand what I'm doing
