Hello list, I'm using Webmin interface to manage backups on one of my servers. Backup is done by creating a tar archive in an external USB drive. The problem is that I want to be able to append the date to file name. Is there any way to do this? Like using a variable, I don't know. Imagine the following situation: Next Sunday, file is named /media/HDD/Full_Backup_01012012.tar.gz The other Sunday, file is named /media/HDD/Full_Backup_08122011.tar.gz ... and so on. Thanks for any help on this, or advice on how can I workaround this. Best regards, Bruno Martins |

Hi Bruno, I actually do the exact same thing! In the Module Config of the Filesystem backup, you need to enable "*Do strftime substitution of backup destinations?" *Once done, you can use standard strftime formats in the backup filename like below: Full_Backup_%d%m%Y.tar.gz For a list of strftime commands, click the "*Do strftime substitution of backup destinations?"* in the webmin mondule config.* *Andrew* * On 29 December 2011 10:54, Bruno Martins <bmo...@gm...> wrote: > Hello list, > > I'm using Webmin interface to manage backups on one of my servers. > Backup is done by creating a tar archive in an external USB drive.

Hi Andrew, Awesome! I should have read that before posting to list. ;-) This solves my problem. Thanks for your help. Btw, you may help me on this one (I don't want to abuse from your kindness): Regarding to e-mail reports, is there a way to set a different network gateway that differs from the "system default"? I mean, my system must have 192.168.0.30 as its default gateway, but when sending reports (like successful backup, etc) I must do it through 192.168.0.31 which I have control of and can allow outgoing ports.
