by | Nov 22, 2019

Nowadays, thousands of websites are compromised by cybercriminals.

What do If Your website has been hacked? The first step is to restore the website from the backup.

So, backup plays an important role in data recovery. Luckily, ISPConfig allows customers to configure the backup based on their requirements.

At Bobcares, we often get requests from our customers to configure backup in ISPConfig as part of our Server Management Services

Today, we’ll see how our Support Engineers configure backup in ISPConfig and fix related errors.

Why ISPConfig?

ISPConfig 3 is an open-source hosting panel for Unix like machines. It helps to manage multiple servers from a single control panel interface. Also, ISPConfig has lots of benefits such as,

  1. Single server, Multiserver, and Mirrored Clusters
  2. SPConfig just works on both physical servers and virtual machines.

In addition, it allows resellers to manage multiple accounts on multiple physical or virtual servers. The other attraction of ISPConfig is that the ISPConfig can be configured in one of 20 translated languages. Moreover, it supports many Linux distributions like Debian 9 – 10, Ubuntu 16.04 – 18.04 and CentOS 7.

How we fixed the common error after configuring periodic backup.

From our experience in managing servers, we’ve seen customers often facing problems after configuring periodic backup.

Missing packages needed for ISPconfig backup

Recently, one of our customers had a problem while setting up a periodic backup on ISPconfig. And, he was trying to use the panel feature for backup. However, the backup did not generate on the server.

On checking, our Support Engineers found that zip was not installed on the server which needs to generate the backup.

So, we installed zip package on the server.
