v-backup-user produces incomplete backups #1521

Open working-name opened 6 years ago

working-name commented 6 years ago

Operating System (OS/VERSION):

Any.

VestaCP Version:

Any.

Installed Software (what you got with the installer):

nginx, mysql, pgsql, apache2, named, exim, dovecot, spamassassin, iptables, fail2ban

Steps to Reproduce:

v-backup-user <any>
Move backup to another server
v-restore-user <any> <any>.DATE.tar
user's ~/conf does not contain modifications made to config files for things like python apps, or anything of that nature. The configurations are all back to vanilla.

Which begs the question: Can this really be called a backup?

Also missing:

Template selection for BIND9 (together with A records for ns1/2)
SSL preference (although I see the config files were "restored", alongside certs from LE)
Web Template preference
Web Statistics preference
catchall email setting
files from the user's web folder, if it had no web/dns entry

Possible improvements:

[ ] add a switch to v-restore-user which allows swapping of IPs in DNS records to the new main IP of the server
[ ] backup the configs of all services. For example exim's SSL cert is now back to the default, self-generated one.
[ ] ALWAYS backup the user folder, no matter where they store files
[ ] backup mysql data folder

UP. It is likely that backup is done but restore didn't put it together. My conf/web are present in the backup but didn't get restored.

tar -tvf /backup/$BACKUP_FILE.tar
