I've been using the backup and restore module for years to do two automatic daily backups off all my systems, one for everything without system audio and voicemail and one that is just system audio and voicemail. It in turn FTPs them to a storage server that I am using at another independent location.
This has been working flawlessly for years and I never really looked at Incredible Backup since what I have been doing fits my needs perfectly.
What are the differences between that module and Incredible Backup? I am looking for a reason to either keep doing what I am doing or switch if IB offers me something else.
I did install IB on my new Ubuntu server and ran it, but it apparently just created a file that is twice the size of my normal daily backups in the /tmp directory. Is there a way to FTP or SFTP it to my remote storage, have it run daily and delete backups older than 15 days?
And why is the backup file from IB over 35MB when the ones from the module are only 18MB? It's must be backing up some additional stuff.
I've looked around, but haven't found any definitive documentation on IB, so if someone knows of any please share it with me.
Thanks!
