How to make auto backup feature for Infinityfree

Meishin: > Fun fact: that “download zip” function do the same thing, which downloads all the files and make a zip. Just very unreliably… Yep. It’s literally the exact same thing. The main edge that the file manager has is that it sits close to the FTP server so it’s a bit faster due to latency. But it will still take a lot of time and is likely to timeout on larger websites. redsusvn: > my concept is only for weekly backup so i think for a personal backup solution, this is a perfect concept and the server is still fast and powerful enough to handle the zip download function so it likely wont affect anything, it just similar to an user download the htdocs file as zip every week A few things I disagree with: * This is not a “personal backup solution”. You’re not keeping it or personal use, you’re sharing it with others and are helping them use it. That potentially increases the exposure by a lot. * Yes, the server is fast and powerful, but we want it to remain fast to be useful as a file manager. Don’t start abusing it until it’s no longer useful (and then probably complain that this exact server is weak and slow). * Yes, it’s the same as a user download, but user downloads are not unattended and automated. My point is: downloading a backup with the file manager is fine. A whole bunch of people setting up automated scripts that set-up-and-forget send backups in a Telegram chat they’ll ignore is not fine.
