We make full backups of all the home directories to an off-site server every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5:40am local time.
To restore a file from this backup to your account you can use the backup command.
You can also use the same command to back up a file at any time.
Usage:
- backup -r /home/username/file.txt restores file.txt to the version found in the backup. (option -r is the same as --restore)
- backup -b /home/username/file.txt saves file.txt to the backup server. (option -b is the same as --backup)
If you want to check the last date and time a backup was made, you can check at the backup webinterface.
