Backing Up In CPanel
Oct 26, 2009I have a cPanel control panel for my site and noticed the backup feature.
Now my site consists of a homepage and a vBulletin forum. If I use the cPanel backup feature will this backup my entire vBulletin forum as well?
I just want something where I can backup on a weekly basis with a click of a button if possible.
Also, is it simply a case of clicking a few buttons to restore the backup should I need to at a later date?
Backing Up DBs Without CPanel
Feb 20, 2007I just ran into a problem. My cPanel license expired, and im in the middle of moving my site over to a new host.
However I cant access any of my sites cPanel,so i can go straight to phpmyadmin to backup.
My question would be:
Is it posible to backup all DBs in the server via shh?
Or is it posible to upload phpmyadmin to every sites root folder and after configuring
it to access the DBs?
Backing Up Cpanel With Remote Ftp?
Jun 21, 2007I need to have a windows PC on my internal network connect via sftp and download the generated backups on my webserver.
What files do I need?
I'd like to do it on a daily basis as I run local tape backups every night.
My backups are being put into /backup/cpbackup/daily/ but there is a tarball, dirs/, and files/.
Do I just need to download the tarball? I was hoping to do this with psftp and the windows task manager so that I wouldn't have to do it manually every day.
Best Option Backing Up Cpanel Server To A Cloud
Sep 26, 2009I'd like to back one of our servers up using S3 but I'm not sure the best way to go. Server is using CPanel. Obviously I want to keep costs down.
I need the files to be secure, backups need to be nightly incremental, and I need to be able to restore to another CPanel server fast in case of hardware failure. CPanel supports FTP for backups. I currently back up to another server, but I want to move to the cloud.
Specific questions I have:
1. Any recommendations on a cloud backup service (S3, Rackspace, etc?), and why?
2. Any recommendations on tools? I want this to be simple to set up. As easy as setting up an FTP account.
3. Is there another option I should consider? That server has about 62GB of data on it to be backed up.
Backing Up A VPS...
Nov 8, 2007After I create a backup of a VPS using Virtuozzo (I'm using the 1and1 VPS), where is the image stored? Is it necessary to manually save this image to a different server, or do 1and1 take of that automatically?

Jul 17, 2008I currently run the odd backup using rsync on my linux computer. However, for convenience I'd like to run backups on windows to my desktop PC.
I was just wondering if anyone knew of a decent program that does incremental backups, hopefully via rsync. My VPS is running debian.
What I'd love to have is a backup folder containing 12 monthly backups and 7 daily backups:
daily.0
daily.1
daily.2
daily.3
daily.4
daily.5
daily.6
monthly.0
monthly.1
monthly.2
monthly.3
monthly.4
...
Any idea if this can be done in windows? If not windows, is there an easy to use script I can set up on my linux computer?

Redirect Domain/user To User.domain ONLY IF Folder 'user' Doesn't Exist
May 7, 2007I thought I knew enough about my .htaccess stuff to do this, but I can't seem to work it out. What I want to do is if a user visits domain.com/folder, we check to see if the folder exists. If so, show as normal (IE domain.com/support)
If a user visits domain.com/dynamicusername (dynamicusername is not a physical folder), redirect to dynamicusername.domain.com
Backing Up IMAP?
Mar 17, 2005I am looking for some good tutorials or advice on backing up IMAP mail directly from the server.
Does anyone have any?
Backing Up Information
Feb 18, 2009I understand that servers can do automatic backups of information, yet I also see forum modifications that enable simple ways of doing a backup. Are there different types of backups? Why is it necessary to manually backup a forum database when its done automatically by the server? In terms of assuring the data, what is required and whats a typical procedure, what does it entail, is it manual and if so usually how often, or is it usually automatic?
View 2 Replies View RelatedBacking Up MySQL VPS
Jul 8, 2009I currently have 2 VPS accounts. The first one runs cPanel and hosts my website's files.
The second VPS hosts the mysql databases which the website uses. There are about 70 databases, each averaging about 120MB in size.
At current, i use sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/ to backup each database over two days. (This crashes the server briefly for about 10 minutes per day ). I then use rsync on both servers to backup everything to off-site location.
Obviously, I need to find a better solution. I was thinking about backing up the databases weekly instead. However, the 10 minute downtime period from the script will still happen.
Backing Up The Server
May 12, 2008We have a dedicated server with CPanel/WHM. It appears that the CPanel/WHM backup portion of the control panel is not functioning properly, as we just had an incident where all mySQL databases were deleted from the system and the last backup we had was from 03/31/08. This is not acceptable, as we need to have atleast at the min. weekly backups done of our system.
We are in need of a FREE 3rd Party (preferrably open source) solution where we can install on our Linux CentOS system to be able to have backups, and would like to have this software preferrably be able to backup to a remote location, but this is not required.
Backing Up MS SQL 2000
Apr 25, 2007I am basically a Mac user and my windows desktop just went kaput. I am looking for a cheap and dirty way to make back-ups of my MS SQL 2000 DB.
Is it possible to run a script that creates a copy of it in MS Access which can later be convereted back into MS SQL?
Is it possible to go from MS SQL to MySQL?
The MS SQL 2000 server is hosted on a shared server and I cannot leave DTS packages on it. I prefer not to go the DTS route as it goes way over my head anyway. I do, by the way, have a dedicated Win 2003 server.
Backing Up Large DB
Jan 17, 2007Just had a quick question about backing up a large MySQL DB. I have a database that is 50gb with about half a billion entries in it. One table itself is about 40gb, the other 10gb consists of smaller tables.
The problem is, I want to back the database up and be able to keep it LIVE at the same time (as it will fall behind quickly if it's pulled for more than a few hours, as there are somewhere in the area of a million entries an hour, plus other deletions and queries).
Backing Up Using Rsync: Slow?
Aug 23, 2007I want to back up my entire server, probably 50gb of data.
i have a 20mbit connection at home, and get 1.5+mbytes/second when pushing a file onto my home pc from the server via ftp, so i know the pipe between the two can handle the bandwidth.
i've set up rsync at home but for some reason the transfer rate does not go over 50-60kbytes/sec, i'm guessing cause the files are too small.
is this a problem with my rsync configuration? i havne't set any speed limits...
finally, is there some better solution than rsync to backup my server?
command i'm using for rsync:
rsync --links --backup --recursive /mydirectory myserver::backuplocation.
Backing Up Kills My Site
Jul 29, 2008I backup my sites database via cpanel (click backup -> click on the database I want and it puts it in sql.gz format)
Backup takes an average of three minutes. In this time, if I try to view my site.. it doesn't load.
For the other site on the same server & IP, it loads fine.
The database in question is 11.9 MB compressed in sql.gz format.
I've tried backing up via phpmyadmin's export function, same deal.
I am not sure if my visitors are affected or not, but is there a better way to backup?
Backing Up A 750GB Harddisk
Jul 15, 2008I have a dedicated server with a hdd capacity of 750Gb.. currently, only about 100GB is being used.. what kind of backup would you recommend?
- Rsync to another server (like BQBackup.com)
- Rsync to another harddrive within the same server
- Cpanel archived backups onto another server/hdd
- Something else?
Backing Up Entire Website
Jan 25, 2008we dont host our own website, but recenty our server crashed, and our hosting provider was supposed to be backing things up. They told us that the entire server crashed and the backups were on the same server so we lost everthing. we actually did end up getting evertying back but it took nearly a week to get back online. they said they are now backing up everthing in a remote location so this wont happen again, but we dont want to put this in their hands anymore, we didnt even get everything back .htaccess, hidden files, subdomains were not backup up and lost. So we want to do our own backing up.
Is there some thing I can set up as a cron task to weekly automatically backup every single file on the server, and the database?
We think this would be very beinificial to us as we lost alot of money from this ordeal and we do not want it to happen again.
Upgrading Php...backing Up Old Version

POP3 Foolishness: Backing It Up, Nuking It And Starting Over
May 12, 2007So, I have my own dedicated server and have been rather neglectfull.
I currently have about 24 thousand email messages from the last few years. Like a tard, I always clicked "leave a copy of messages on server" on my mail clients.
So, I've been doing some reading and have decided to start over usin IMAP instead of POP3. Since I have all the messages in Outloop (go go 700 Meg .PST!) I',m looking for the best way to:
1. Back up my mail on the server
2. Nuke it all
3. Convert to IMAP
I then plan on installing something like http://www.roundcube.net/
I'm on a linix redhat server running cpanel.
