DCO 8.2.12 backup logic

Hello,

Feedback regarding backup functionality which has been moved from Webmin to DCO web client. Some logic is bit unclear on the new version;

• 'Scheduled backup' is same function as 'Backup now' was in Webmin. This function doesn't allow any scheduling so why using the name.
• when backup is starting then it opens the log file which doesn't show any current data. Log file contains data from previous runs and is not updated, this can be very confusing.
• when starting backup at first time (no log files generated before) then web client seems freezing up, it does not indicate ready status.

Regards,

 Michael

Hi Michael, 

Many thanks for the feedback,

You are right, 'Scheduled backup' has the same functionality as 'Backup now'. I think the new wording has been chosen because it is Scheduling the action 'Backup' in background (that may run short after being executed).

I've setup a clean 8.2.12 installation moment ago and ran a backup with the following notifications:

The second/subsequent backup ran fine as well:

I have also tried running the backup on operational (8.2.12) setup without any problem. 

If you wish I can retest with your backup?

thanks,

Kind regards
