As a proposal, what would you think about replacing the 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";

with:

Code:

if ( -f "$dmn_dir/excludes" ) {
    $backup_cmd = "$cmd_tar --create --directory=$dmn_dir --$zip --file=$www_dir/$backup_filename --exclude=logs --exclude=phptmp --exclude=backups --exclude-from=backups/excludes . 2> $www_dir/$backup_filename.log";
} else {
    $backup_cmd = "$cmd_tar --create --directory=$dmn_dir --$zip --file=$www_dir/$backup_filename --exclude=logs --exclude=phptmp --exclude=backups . 2> $www_dir/$backup_filename.log";
}

This would allow users to create a file "/backups/excludes" with a list of files/directories (wildcards accepted) to be excluded from the backups...

Yes, I think that would be a great option.

There are directories that people won't want backed up regulary, i.e. their favourite CMS distribution files that are already tar'd or bzip'ed.

Killburn, can you add this to ispCP distibution? For first step. Later I think you can provide support to add some exclude options in GUI.

[RatS]

If we add a function like this, than it will be proper working and manageable from the GUI by default. No fuzzy solutions any more, there are enough already inside ispCP.

[kilburn]

The panel (gui) can easily modify user's files through the virtual file system (class.vfs.php) as shown in the error pages editors or the "choose dir" functionality (alias/subdomain addition). Thus, implementing a gui to handle this file should be easy enough so that any "new" ispcp developer could do it.

Who wants to try? You can ask me if you have any questions in the process...

I get this error message every day.
I used debian etch width iscp 1.0.4.
It appeared when I upgraded to 1.0.3.1.
What the problem?
