Issue with results of scheduled backup, database and one directory only for one VS only is needed

[bsfez]

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version	Debian Linux 11
Virtualmin version	7.5

I’m using Scheduled Backup and I want to backup only specific things for only one VS (no subdomains)
This VS host a CMS (wordpress, tiki, any) I want to backup the databases and a specific folder/directory where files are stored

Virtual servers
For the “Servers to save” I check “Only selected” and select ONE domain only
“Include sub-servers of those selected” is unchecked.
“Limit to servers on plan” is set to “Any plan”

Features and settings
I check “Contents of server’s MariaDB databases”
I check " Files to exclude from each domain" and check “Include only these files, instead of excluding” and set the directory path : /home/xxx/xxx_files

My backup is completed.

When I look at the result I have extra files and extra VS I didn’t asked for:

Inside the main archive (xxxx.com.tar.gz), I have 2 files:
xxxx.com_mysql_xxxx_com
xxxx.com_mysql

That’s may be what it should be but not what I need PLUS I don’t see the directory/files…

1. Why the backups don’t includes my directory/files ?
2. Isn’t it possible to get the database in a more common, re-useable format like: mydatabase.sql

Why don’t you need the extra files ?

I have 3 groups:

• The software code/files I’m using a Git repo. => I don’t need.
• The database the prefs, users, content. => I need to backup and be able to re-use anywhere (not only in Viirtualmin).
• The uploaded files, pictures, videos. => I need to backup.

This is why I need the extra files.

You pointed to the dom and info and said i didn’t as or need these. I dod not mean the content of your archive

[bsfez]

I understand now that you were asking about the .dom and .info.

My understanding is that these are needed to restore the domain/VS to Virtualmin.
I don’t need to restore the domain/VS using Virtualmin.

I just want a backup of the VS databases and a folder. I prefer manual ways and want to be able to re-install anywhere (local MAMP, other OS or CPanels).
