can anybody confirm if Erp next actually creates daily backups?
I run Erp next on a windows pc with docker desktop.
Yes, by default, the system creates and saves a backup every 8 hours.
Also, please check the backup settings in (System Settings).
ok, but somewhere I have an issue, not sure if it is because of the windows 10/docker desktop frappe/erp next repository that I am using?
mine does not create backups. I’ve been using this setup for the last 6 months.
played with the backup settings etc.
Am I correct in saying the backups should lie in
home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites/frontend/private/backups
currently the only way i can make backups is
bench backup
this always overwrite the last and single backup file i have.
Same thing happening for me. My backup settings are set to 90 for Number of Backups under System Settings but it is only creating a backup if I click the “Download Files Backup” button, and when I do that it creates a new backup that takes the place of the older backup so there is only 1 backup visible under the Download Backups page.
Backups in docker work differently since docker does not have a cron. Check out this thread to see how one user does it: Controlling Backups in Docker Setup - #2 by knimer
This is where they got it from: frappe_docker/overrides/compose.backup-cron.yaml at main · frappe/frappe_docker · GitHub
