New to SSH & Pterodactyl. Looking for my backups
I've had a dedicated server for a couple of months now, and just recently got SSH access. I would like to use the scheduled backups daily, but I dont know where to find those files on the server. I have located the container my server is running from but they do not appear to be there. Any advice? (I know I could message support, but I ask a lot of questions already and don't want to bother them with this one lol)

I only have Pelican installed currently but it should be in the same place
/var/lib/pelican/backups
just replace pelican with pterodactyl
Try
find / -name backups
Cuz tbh I forget where
The find command is my go to in like every situationyeah its the same place but with pterodactyl
For some reason when I delete backups they don’t delete from the actual system .-.
I have like 30 backups that I deleted and none display on the panel lmao
but they’re still there
thats odd
deleting servers or?
deleting servers
but not forcibly
I would have assumed they deleted backups related as well
nope
years old bug at this point
4 years old
(not this screenshot)
ffs
Welp time to manually delete them with ssh
I do have this folder, but it appears to be empty. I did the find command and checked every backup folder listed, and non of them have the existing backup file. can I search for the file specifically? the panel doesnt give me the file name but it has some other information on it
If you press the 3 dots and press download it should give you the file name
this might explain it! interesting
I'll run another backup and double check the /backups folder ty
Next issue, there might be a simple answer for.
We've made a script to download the daily pterodactyl backup file once a day, and in testing I am only able to download files at between 3-6 mbps in terminal. is that limited somewhere? even via SFTP I can get up to 15mbps. (i have a 1600mbps connection)
Is it downloading to a different server?
or a different place
you can try something like fastback (for modded) or drivebackupv2 (for plugins), it supports uploaded to a webserver or somewhere
I'm downloading it from my dedicated server with a 1gbps connection, to my personal computer with a 1.6gbps connection.
I am using simplebackups to do 6 hour backups of the world folder already, but I also have pterodactyl doing a daily full backup of everything (excluding simplebackups files)
