Where Can I find backup files on filesystem ?

Hi People,

I need to find where are the backup files automatically generated by Astaro in the filesystem.

Where the backup files are stored ?

I logged in Astaro by ssh and tried to search "find / -name *.abf" but no luck. No files were found.

Regards,

Douglas

  • Thanks Daniel,

    I tried to import one of the files in /var/confd/var/storage/snapshots/ to Webadmin -> Management -> Backup Restore, but I get "File Corrupt".

    Is there any parsing to doing with the backup file before import it ?

    Thanks,

    Douglas
  • Hi Douglas,

    the backups (or snapshots) are stored under
    /var/confd/var/storage/snapshots/

    You can get the meta information by running the following command from shell:
    cc snapshot_list

    Regards,
    Daniel


    Hi all,

    first post here, i have founde the files and listed via backup.plx -l

    /usr/local/bin/backup.plx -l
    cfg_5791_1276671577 Automatic Backup (Up2Date 7.505) system Wed Jun 16 08:59:37 2010
    cfg_2217_1276902901 Auto-Backup system Sat Jun 19 01:15:01 2010

    cfg_11483_1278112502 Auto-Backup system Sat Jul  3 01:15:02 2010


    but if i copy the file from 3 Jul and download the same file via webfrontend the files differ says diff.

    Can i use this files for a backup beacuase E-Mail Backup isn't nice i will backup these files via rsnapshot to my backup Server.
    And if i can use these files how do i have to restore these files so that i can be sure to have a valid backup/restore


    bye
