Starting from Lucy 4.6 has been added the ability to create and configure automatic backups. The administrator can configure automatic backups that are performed to a local directory /opt/phishing/files/db-backups

The Automated Backup Settings is available under the Settings menu:

• Backup Target

You can select which components of the system should be backed up. Click "Deselect All" to turn off the backup task:

1. Database - creates an SQL dump of the whole Lucy database;
2. Files - creates an archived copy of the folder “/opt/phishing/files” that contain campaigns data, templates and etc. (it is recommended to use with Database);
3. Rainloop - creates an archived copy of settings and all folders of the Mail Manager;
4. Config - creates an archived copy of Lucy's configuration files (web server, mail server and etc.);
5. Code - creates an archived copy of Lucy's source code and executables.

• Backup Frequency

The frequency of running the backup tasks can be set to various intervals:

1. Daily
2. Weekly
3. Monthly
4. Yearly

• Backup Time

You can choose a convenient time for you to create a backup. We recommend choosing night hours to evenly load Lucy server resources.

• Backup Days

Days of week or month: 1-7 for weekly, 1-31 for monthly. Days of the year: 1-12 (month numbers); 1-31 (days of the month) for yearly.

• Example for weekly: 1,3,5,7
• Example for monthly: 1, 15, 25
• Example for yearly: 1,3,5,7; 1,15
