Do not delete daily backups

[gilbert]

Hi,

Is there a way to have the daily backups not deleted?

Thanks,
Gilbert.

Take a look at this: http://www.isp-control.net/forum/thread-6129.html

My concern is to patch and then have to worry when the next version comes out.

Is there a simple modification to the backup script that would just not delete the previous ones?

Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions and advise on how to do this?

The advice on upgrades would be very helpful, I would love to add this functionality by patching as long as it doesn't create complications when I do an upgrade.

Thanks,
Gilbert.

Hi Gilbert

without changing the code you don't get what you want.
But maybe just a small change in the backup script might do what you need:

have a look at
/var/www/ispcp/engine/backup/ispcp-backup-all, around line 390

Code:

if ($rs == 0) { # everything ok
      $rs = sys_command("$cmd_rm -rf $dmn_dir/$backup_filename.log");
      return $rs if ($rs != 0);
      $rs = sys_command("$cmd_rm -rf $dmn_backup_dir/$dmn_name-*.tar.*");
      return $rs if ($rs != 0);
      $rs = sys_command("$cmd_mv -f $dmn_dir/$backup_filename $dmn_backup_dir");
      return $rs if ($rs != 0);
...

(I shortened the whitespaces...)

if you comment the line where the old tar are deleted, then this might fullill your wishes :-)

just a # in front of the line.
# $rs = sys_command("$cmd_rm -rf $dmn_backup_dir/$dmn_name-*.tar.*");

of course, you have to find the line after every update of ispcp - but it's a fast correction.
