Exclude dir from the backup - Diego - 04-08-2010 07:34 PM

I have changed this line on the file:
/var/www/ispcp/engine/quota/ispcp-dsk-quota

and included the folllowing

Quote:--exclude="store/htdocs/download/*"

So I don't want that do be included on the backup, is that correct?

Quote: my $s = `$cmd_du --exclude="backups/$domain_name-*.lzma" --exclude="backups/$domain_name-*.bz2" --exclude="backups/$domain_name-*.gz" --exclude="backups/*.sql.lzma" --exclude="backups/*.sql.bz2" --exclude="backups/*.sql.gz" --exclude="logs/*.log" --exclude="store/htdocs/download/*" -s -B1

why quota???

in engine/backup/ispcp-backup-all, change this line:

Code:

$backup_cmd = "$cmd_tar --create --directory=$dmn_dir --$zip --file=$www_dir/$backup_filename --exclude=logs --exclude=phptmp --exclude=backups . 2> $www_dir/$backup_filename.log";

I was also instructed to edit the "ispcp-dsk-quota" file. Didn't work though. Could you post an example for instance how to exclude all domainname.com/htdocs/cache folder and contents from daily backup using your method? Also, once the edit has been made, is it necessary to restart any service?

Code:

$backup_cmd = "$cmd_tar --create --directory=$dmn_dir --$zip --file=$www_dir/$backup_filename --exclude=logs --exclude=phptmp --exclude=backups  --exclude=htdocs/cache . 2> $www_dir/$backup_filename.log";

See last exclude parameter.

No need to restart anything - maybe be sure to not edit the file during a nightly backup :-)
