Hi Guys
The Dashboard Info on Backup is just not enough…
Last Backup was done when? Yesterday, last week? 2 years ago?
This could be improved…

Hi @Andy_Wismer,
yes I think this is a good idea. @giacomo what do you think about it?
PS: @Andy_Wismer I’ve changed your topic from support to feature. I think it’s a feature request.
Since the new backup implementation supports multiple backup schedule, I don’t think it make sense to further expand the current dashboard widget.
I’d prefer to keep focused on a better UI for cockpit which should include the status of all configured backups.
Anyway, as always, PR are welcome!

That would be that dot on the “i”, as they say in german here…
Translation: The bit making it perfect!
Thanks

It’s easy to add the backup date but it’s a daily backup and you can see backup start time and end time so the last backup date could be easily guessed.
Change line 25 in /usr/share/nethesis/NethServer/Template/Dashboard/SystemStatus/Backup.php to:
echo "<dt>".$T('end_label')."</dt><dd>"; echo $view['backup_end']?date("d.m.Y H:i",$view['backup_end']):"-"; echo "</dd>";

You’re right of course about the “daily” backups…
Avacatus Diabolis (Worst case or close…):
However, the boss screws up a file on friday evening, process somehow hangs - an external NFS server dies during a backup or something - and it’s either a weekend and / or a public holiday…
I guess you get the general idea… I’d try to look for the backup to restore, only to find out the file I need does not exist…
