Lot of i-MSCP Backup files

    Hi all
    I'm running i-MSCP 1.1.13 (fcgid) on debian squeeze (6.0.10) and it seems to be all fine.
    Lately I've seen many files under /etc/imscp/*/backup. I'm wondering whether it is normal that there are thousands of files created each day?


    In /etc/imscp/apache/backup I can see two files for each domain every 6 minutes
    In /etc/imscp/bind/backup I can see a changing number of files for each zone every 6 minutes


    It's hard to believe that those files and their creation don't have any impact on the system's performance. Is there a way to reduce that?

    I think the files will be created after someone changes something on his domain (add a subdomain, ssl cert...). So its just a little copy of the old files and shouldn't impact your systems performance.

    Thanks for your response.


    Any idea how to find out which changes causes that? Some of the domains are administrated by me - just me - and I didn't make any changes like the ones you mentioned.
    Those files get created every 6 minutes on each domain for postfix, apache and bind.

    Just have a look which template files will be created, because that's the answer..
