Appliance Backup Time Configuration
From Swivel Knowledgebase Wiki

Overview
The appliance is automatically backed up each night, by default, at 4am. The backup process copies all system configuration and critical files and the PINsafe instance including the PINsafe DB to a backup archive. This document outlines how to change the default backup time.
Prerequisites
PINsafe appliance
Changing the Backup Time should only be carried out by trained personnel
Modifying the backup time
Modify either the scheduled cron jobs in the webmin or the /etc/crontab file:
SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/
- run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily 22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
Options
In addition to storing the backup archive file locally on the appliance, it is possible to configure the appliance to automatically copy the archive to a central FTP server. Please follow Automated_FTP_Backups for details.
