Info on local scheduled (full) Backups

CyberPanel Project Documentation Requests

Hi, I’m searching for some documentation around the local scheduled (full and NOT incremental) backup feature but I cannot find the following information. I appreciate if someone can shed light, based on the latest version 2.3.1
Thanks in advance.

Let’s say I created a local scheduled job, expected to run daily with a 7 days retention (see screeenshot)

  1. When does the job run?
  2. Can the scheduled time be changed?
  3. Here is my cronjob -l as root… as by original installation, but I see only stuff related to the incremental backups. I gues there should be something to kick-off the scheduled jobs but what and where?
  4. How to know what gets copied? DBs, Website data, Emails for the specified sites?

P.S.
I’d like to know as well if the database backup used for the local full scheduled backup is using mysqldump or Mariabackup. I ask becasue I use data encryption at rest which is supported by Mariabackup. Thanks again

I just found the following by myself, so it might be useful to others:

  • the DB is saved as a dump (.sql)
  • the whole website is saved, including the SSL cert
  • everything related to mail is included as well

My first 3 questions still stand :slight_smile: Thanks

1, Cron run at midnight or the time when you set.
2. Yes can be changed.
3. you can see in the crontab -l
4. extract one backup file and you will see all

@shoaibkk Thanks

Can you please tell me which command(s) in the cron list that I posted previously are/is reponsible for the “full” backup?

I guess these 2 but they look like relative to Incremental backups…

I was just searching for how to run the daily backup on demand to test the backup was working ok and found your post. I can confirm running this worked for me:
