Self-serve backups?

[kriebz]

So, the Pro license price isn’t bad at all, but I’m trying to bench-test a new shared hosting server with no budget for the time being. We have a couple of 3rd party “web designers” that are essentially useless, and have asked for a way to fix their own oopsies. I was hoping that a domain admin account could access backups for that domain in Virtualmin, but it seems that that is not the case. I can only enable users to restore a backup if it’s “signed”, which seems to be a Pro-only feature (and very little documentation on how that works in practice). I can do scheduled backups into a folder under the user’s home directory, but by default that doesn’t help. They’re owned by root, and there’s no UI for restoring. Unless you can tell me that the backup management UI suddenly appears under Pro, and it’s idiot-proof, this might be a show-stopper.

They are doing changes on a live server with no plan to revert changes?

I think, if configured to do so, a domain owner can do their own backups. I’m not sure if this is different from the system backup, but, would make sense if it was. You don’t need these folks touching your backups.

But the real problem here is you have folks that shouldn’t be touching a live server. If it is web only then they really need to backup files they are changing so they can revert. This isn’t that hard with the file manager. They need to learn git or some other system of their choice.

Not sure what the signed bit is all about, but in owner limits there there is a setting, is that what your looking for. Can you see that is the GPL version.

Ok, search form there a couple questions about the “signed by”
