14.4. Making a Backup

Once you have created a backup configuration that appears on the main page of the module, you can use Webmin to manually execute it at any time. To do this, the steps to follow are:

1.
From the list of configurations on the module's main page, click on the directory you want to backup. This will take you to a form showing all the details of the backup configuration.

2.
Click the Backup Now button at the bottom of the page. Webmin will execute the appropriate dump command and display its output as it writes to the backup file or tape device. The output from any commands that are run before or after the backup will be shown as well.

3.
If all goes well, the message backup complete will be displayed at the bottom of the page. However, if something goes wrong, backup failed will be displayed instead—check the output of the dump command to see exactly what the problem was.

One limitation of the Filesystem Backup module is that it cannot create backups that span multiple tapes. Usually the dump command would prompt the user to load a new tape when necessary, but that is not possible when it is being run from Webmin.
