Backup Settings
Introduction
Administrators can configure regular, automatic backups of their workstation. These backups are stored locally and help to preserve snapshots of your installation.
Configuration
You can choose which parts of the system you want to back up. If you don't want to back up anything, click "Deselect All".
Database: Backs up the entire Lucy database by creating an SQL dump.
Files: Saves a copy of the folder "/opt/phishing/files", which includes data for campaigns, templates, and more. It's usually good to back this up along with the Database.
Emails: Creates a backup of the Mail Manager's settings and all its folders.
Config: Saves copies of Lucy’s configuration files for web and mail servers, among others.
Code: Backs up Lucy's source code and executable files.
Configure how often the backup job runs:
Note that creating backups more frequently will consume more storage on your workstation.
See the "Backup Days" tab for examples of how to use each setting.
The backup job will run at the specified time. The job can take some time and consumes resources on your server while it is running (RAM and CPU), so it's a good idea to schedule this at a time when you expect decreased activity on the server, such as overnight or on weekends.
For Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly backups, you can choose specific days and months for scheduling. Use commas to separate values within the same category and semicolons to distinguish between months and days.
Weekly: 1-7 for each day of the week. For example
1,3,5will create backups every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday.Monthly: 1-31 for days. For example,
1,15will create backups on the 1st and 15th of every month.Yearly: 1-12 for months, 1-31 for days. For example,
1,3,5,7;1,15will create backups on the 1st and 15th of January, March, May, and July.
Automated backups location
Backup files are stored locally on your workstation, in the /opt/phishing/files/db-backups directory.
