What would be the best way to Backup my VPS?
It currently is running WHM/Cpanel with around 5 accounts.
Would I need to tar/gzip the directorys, and manually use the ssh commands to backup each of the mysql databases?
My new host also has WHM/Cpanel, so would I need to use the backup feature the CP provides?
I have multiple backups stored under server repository (subscriptions --> <domainname> --> website and domains --> backup manager).
The physical files are located at: /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/904279/domains/<domainname>/
When I click the green arrow to download these files to a local computer (see attached image) I get a new page with title "Download the backup file". On this page I have the option to set a password on the downloaded file, but no matter what I do (password or no password) the file is not downloaded to my local PC. I don't get a pop-up box with the option to save the file. Just nothing happens ...
I have 2 problems:
Firstly I wonder if there is any possibility to limit the number of cores the plesk backup zipping tool uses? This pigz takes up all my CPU. Is there any way I can reduce the amount of cores it uses because all my websites are down every time a backup takes place for around 3 minutes.
Secondly I get the following in my syslog:
1 baby plesk sendmail[20189]: Error during 'check-quota' handler
I don't know what is wrong. I think it's since the upgrade to Plesk 12. I now have 12.0.18 Update #13.
I have a 6GB backup file created with another Plesk Backup Manager, now I trying to upload this backup file to my Plesk Backup Manager but after upload 3% I am getting "413 Request Entity Too Large" error, I tried with disable NGINX but still getting this error.
how can I resolve this error or is their any other way to upload my file on backup manager?
I see that Backup Manager have a file size restriction of 2GB how can I increase this?
I have an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit virtual private server with Plesk 12. The server is hired from a hosting provider. The server is used to run the Odoo ERP application (using postgres database).
The Odoo application is running fine and now I want to create a backup of the application using Plesks Backup manager.
I choose configurations and content option in the backup manager but the created backup is only 200kb.
I think the problem is the location where the Odoo application is installed is not included in the backup. I made a tar backup from the server and extracted it on my pc. It seems that the main parts of the Odoo application are in the var, opt, etc and usr directories (not in a domain but under root).
Installing the application in a domain would solve the Plesk backup issue I think but the installation script of Odoo puts Odoo in var, opt, etc and usr directories even if I put the install script in the directory of a created domain. Since the manual Odoo installation is complicated I am very happy to use the script.
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to include the directories var, opt, etc and usr in the Plesk backup and how and where do I do that?
2. Can I restore such a backup without no problem in Plesk?
I current do some rsync backups with a command like so every day
rsync -az -e ssh --stats --delete --exclude "stuff" / user@server:/home/user/
What I want to do is have some incremental backups in there in subdirectories. So, for example, something like this on the remote server
/home/user/something.tuesday
/home/user/something.friday
I thought the --backup --backup-dir Switches were used to store just the files that had changed in seperate directories, am I wrong on that?
I've read everything I could find, including the big rsnapshot scripts, but I'm not able to do what I want, it seems so simple but something's not right, am I wrong that subdirs should have just files that are new or have changed. I tried various things like this, but had no luck
rsync -az -e ssh --stats --delete --backup --backup-dir=/home.Thursday --exclude "stuff" / user@server:/home/user/
I have transfer full backup with cpanel to ftp backup,
But,How transfer full backup from FTP Backup to cPanel?
Whitch software?
my cpanel doesn't get backups. When I force it, it gives me this error:
mount: can't find /backup in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
mount: can't find /backup in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[cpbackup] Backup failed! /bekkaplars is not mounted! at /scripts/cpbackup line 415.
It's a vps. Another interesting thing is, my other 3 vpses run good even /etc/fstab has no line like /backup in there, also.
I would like to weight the benefits and costs of using remote backup and local backup to another hardisk? Let's assume the price is the same.
What's the benefits of using remote backup?
Is it secured to use local backup in another hardisk?
I'm running on linux centos.
What happend if hacker get hold of my server?
Currently, i have 80GB of diskspace. Does it mean i will need at least 80GB of ANOTHER hardisk to backup that?
