problem with backup exclusions

[alter]

I configured a backup exclusion in web domains with: mysite.com:public_html/boutique/catalogue
It worked well, my backup file was 260Mo.

But for a few days, the backup file is 4Go because all images in "catalogue" are saved.

2023-02-23 01:15:50 admin.mysite.com
2023-02-23 01:15:56 *** 2 domains ***

The exclusion is not actived?

Is there a problem with backup exlusion?
thank you

try to revert this fix - https://github.com/myvesta/vesta/commit ... 6f89c46578
maybe this disturbs exclusions?

I can try but the v-backup-user file on my server is dated 12 feb 23, and the fix is september 22. I didnt change anything and exclusions worked 20 days ago.

Ok, I have modified v-backup-user and backup works fine.
My backup file is now 260Mo as usual (and not 4Go with images), images are excluded ok.

Thank you for your help.

we merged it before few days, that's why it's applied with the last update.

Code: Select all

v-update-myvesta

will get the latest code (with rollbacked commit) on your servers.

Hi, the command:

Code: Select all

tar --anchored -cpf- ${fargs[@]} --exclude={'./','../'} . |gzip -$BACKUP_GZIP - > $tmpdir/web/$domain/domain_data.tar.gz

includes dot files like .htaccess, .env because it checks the whole file path starting from first dot ./

So, if you want to exclude some folders, you have to add ./ at the beginning of the path. In your example: mysite.com:./public_html/boutique/catalogue

Unfortunetely, I dont know how to change the placeholder for the textarea (which misleads now) in vesta backup exclusions panel... :/

[n1ebieski]

OK, here is the text of placeholder > https://github.com/myvesta/vesta/blob/m ... n.php#L507

Should be fixed now with https://github.com/myvesta/vesta/pull/155
Thanks n1ebieski
