Begin a backup the main concern is reliablility. WHM/Cpanel created a HUGE workload having to verify backup destinations on several servers and having to renable them once a week.
The old backup still runs in parallel and does it's work each day. The new backup, with the same FTP login and destination occasionally needs to be reenabled.
I am finding 2 MAJOR outpoints with the new backup:
- totally unreliable (compared to the other old one), even if there is a total failure today with the backup server, the next day should continue as usual, now i have to manually check all servers to validate. Backup destinations should NEVER deactivate, ever, under any circumstance.
- second major outpoint is not keeping a backup of terminated accounts. Very rarely (2-3 times a year) we had to recover an account that was terminated. with the new backup system, the folder names being named after the backup date, it just erases any backup that is more than 1 month old (if monthly is enabled) forcing us to manually back up any account that we wish to terminate.
the above 2 flaws seriously counterbalance any speed gain and pluses offered by implementing pigz
Is there noone else with these problems that they were not raised and remedied much faster?
