Handle pkgrestore packaging on backup server

Dennis Skov Hermannsen shared this idea 4 years ago

We've been trying to restore an old account that took up 54GB of space.

The entire backup was downloaded to the shared server. I thought that after this, JetBackup would just start moving files to where they should be, but no: It moves them into a folder in the workspace/restore directory called cpanelpkgrestore.TMP.work.<id>.


After this is done (meaning we know have all files from the backup twice), it starts moving files and only removes temporary files afterwards - so we're gonna end up with 3 x 54GB of used disk space, just to restore a single account.

Surely that can be done a lot better than that.

Hello Dennis,


We are excited to announce the release of JetBackup 5 to the STABLE Tier! JetBackup 5 is our fastest, most secure, versatile, and reliable version yet! Please Note: JetBackup 5 utilizes a new JetBackup Core and introduces a new Backup Structure and Engine.


With this new Backup Structure and Engine, JetBackup is capable of restoring files incrementally without having the need to download a temporary file. Currently, this new engine is available on destinations under the S3 Compatible Plugin which is marked as Experimental. Local and SSH Destinations on the initial stable release are still using Rsync to perform backups and restores but we plan to release new plugins for these destinations under the new engine.


For more information about our currently supported destinations please visit our documentation at https://docs.jetbackup.com/v5.1/adminpanel/Destinations/destination.html.


Thank you for your patience and look forward to hearing your feedback regarding this feature.


Best Regards,

Richard, JetApps Team.

Hi Dennis,


Thank you for your request and feedback!


I'd like to inform you that our developers have recently implemented significant improvements with the restore procedure for rsync based destinations (Local, SSH, RsyncNet) on JetBackup version 4.0.21, currently on EDGE.


To briefly explain, JetBackup can now directly restore files incrementally from the mentioned destinations above, effectively removing the need to download and store the backups locally before restoring, significantly improving the restore times.


As for improving restores on other destinations, we will discuss it over our development meetings and provide an update here accordingly.


Best Regards,

Anton, JetApps Team.
