Manual backup and automatically backup at the same config ?

[Cristishor201]

Hello,

I have a question: how to setup dd backup for manual invoke, and rsync of weekly / monthly backup ? It is possible ?

You can mix different backuptypes for a system. So in your case you can configure the scheduled backup to use rsync. When you want to create a dd backup manually just use option -t dd which will overwrite the default backuptype rsync.

and which argument should I use for compressing the file ?
