Multiple Local Backups

[AngeloMileto]

Is there a way to schedule multiple local backups? All of our file shares are on Windows so I can't use the FTP/SSH option and all I have is local. I like having the local backup to the local machine but I also wanted to make another copy to the network via a cifs mount.

So I was thinking to must make the backup with multiple "local" locations. One would be the real local drive/path and the other would actually be a cifs mount point to the network share.

I figured I'd ask here first before scheduling a cron job or something to copy the contents of the current local backup path to the network.

Hey,

Sorry I don't believe there is a way to at the moment.

Hi,

Nagios XI does not support multiple locations for scheduled local backups. However, creating a cron job to copy the contents of the local backup to a network share is a valid way to achieve this.

More information regarding Nagios XI backups can be found in the official documentation:

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi @AngeloMileto,

Thank you for reaching out. Local backups to multiple locations is not a currently supported feature of Nagios XI. I've created an internal feature request for this. Please let us know if you have any further questions or feedback.

Thanks,

Thanks! I was thinking the same thing. I'll probably setup a cron job to run after the scheduled local backup that just does an rsync to the network share.
