I know it’s in the Webmin menu, but it’s not a Webmin backup. It’s system configuration files for the modules Webmin manages. You could do the same by backing up all of /etc every day or whatever. (etckeeper checks everything in /etc into git, which is wonderful, but merely installing etckeeper on EL distros does not initialize and enable it like it does on Debian/Ubuntu, so it’s not part of the standard install on EL distros in Virtualmin. I probably should spend the time to make it so, since so many folks aren’t keeping good system backups. I recommend everybody use etckeeper in addition to good backups. Getting familiar with git and using it for literally everything you need a history of is just a great thing. Config files, custom scripts, your websites, everything. If it’s mostly text and changes sometimes, git is great.)
