[case 46039] Support of ionice with local backups.

[davetanguay]

It would be nice if the server could do a local daily, weekly and monthly incremental backup as well as a full weekly remote SFTP backup that doesn't overload the server. Full backups of very large sites cause load to jump and crash services. Anytime gtar runs on a large site server slows to a crawl.

It'd be nice if the backup feature was more configurable with setting the type and schedule for each backup procedure.

It would be nice if the cpanel backup used 'ionice' to ensure it doesn't affect performance on existing sites.

I agree to this, some larger hosts even restricts users from performing their own backups if their account is too large due to the server overload if there are too many backup processes going on.

I have re-titled this thread to focus on the ionice request. The SFTP portion of this request seems to be a duplicate of:

If you want to vocalize support for SFTP, please post to that thread as well. This thread will focus on the suggestion of using ionice.

Version 11.30 is now in STABLE, meaning this feature is now available in all update tiers. As a result, I am closing and archiving this thread.
