Changing the path for command line backup?

TBT · Post by **TBT** » Wed Feb 26, 2020 3:57 pm

The command line backup script (/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/backup_xi.sh) uses a default storage path of /store/backups/nagiosxi/ and I'd like to change this to a NFS mount.

Any issues with modifying line 59 rootdir="/store/backups/nagiosxi", or is there a recommended solution?

Hello @TBT,

Keep in mind that if you modify the backup script, any changes will be lost when you upgrade. You can also set up a local scheduled backup and this will allow you to set a different path.

That is acceptable as I'm currently testing something.

Using the Local scheduled backup, it can only run once daily.

Hi TBT,

Glad that will work. That's correct - daily, weekly or monthly.

Did you have any other questions?
