Corrupted MySQL Backups CPanel
Mar 18, 2008
Just a warning to all other hosts out there using cPanel it currently generates corrupted mysql backups due to a bug in their pkgacct script which has been like this for over 6 days now.

So for anyone out there it's an easy fix.
Of course not every host is doing it so the fun of helping a customer migrate data and explain to them that their hosts backups being made are all corrupted is lots of fun.
Sort of sad but I've been told this isn't a critical enough issue to even push it out to all versions. Right now it makes a great lock in so customers cannot switch providers without a lot more work.

some software that can be ran on a desktop that will allow me to download and backup my databases from my Cpanel server.
I have a remote backup server that once the databases are backed up can be uploaded to this location. Im not too sure if im going around things in a long winded fashion, but ideally i need a solution that can take management of my database backups.
The cpanel dedi im using at the moment is currently utilising the Backup feature, so this is a secondary backup. At the same time i would like to select which databases are backed up too.
Realistically im looking for your expert advice here, im a novice when it comes to server admin etc so your expert help to guide me would be fantastic. Im not to sure whether i would need a desktop tool to back these databases up, or whether it can be done at a server level? Dare i say it im just used to using GUI's and not so familiar with command lines etc.

I am starting a software as a service company and have a dedicated MySQL server running on Linux. It has RAID mirroring but I need to take nightly backups as well and store them either remotely or on a locally connected drive.
There will be 100, and hopefully eventually 1000’s of databases.
I am thinking of using the built in MySQL tools backup script in the GUI tools, which seems to work well. But I have also read about rsync and other disk mirroring backups. What do you guys recommend?
Also, do you guys think a simple external USB connected drive 500GB to the MySQl server is good idea, or is it worth the money to look at TAPE or remote backup on a geographically different location? What exactly is the benefit of TAPE anyway? Seems to me like TAPE is so freaking old, and expensive, I don’t understand why anybody would use it over a simple USB external drive.

how to achieve the following:
We have a dedicated server, on which we hosts about 15 sites. I am needing to:
Backup each site individually (all files)
Backup each Db associated with each site
FTP to our own in-house ftp server
I have been searching around all afternoon, and possible solutions to each point above are the following:
Iterate through each top level folder in, say /var/www/vhosts/ and tar each folder individaully
I have only been able to do a mysqldump the whole server, and have only found scripts into which you have to manually specify each db if i need separate backups for each one done
Not an issue, we currently have backups from a separate server running
Is it possible to set this all up in one, top-level cron job?

I see zend_mm_heap corrupted displayed a lot in the ssh console when I'm doing stuff.
Is this a problem?
If so, how to fix?

seems like my server has a corrupted tcp/ip stack. can it be resolved without actually reinstalling the OS?
also, what are the possible reasons that could have caused the corrupted tcp/ip stack, because it just happened suddenly out of nowhere =(
with a corrupted tcp/ip stack, there's no way i can remotely access it right?
the only way to fix the server is to either get the techs in the datacenter to do it or i'll have to go down personally to do it?

If the disk of my dedicated server is corrupt and i ask for a new disk+reload of OS, this reload should be free or i have to pay for it? (the server is from layeredtech)

OS: CentOS 5.1 32 bit fully updated.
I'm trying to tar a folder that has 100's of thousands of files and I ensured that no files are being added or modified in that folder while the below command is being executed:
nice --adjustment=20 tar -cf users_from.tar users_from
I've tried it multiple times and it always stops before it finishes and ends up with a corrupted .tar file which gives errors when extracted and is obviously missing a lot of files. Sometimes it creates 200+ MB, sometimes 50 MB before it stops.
I also have enough RAM + swap for the operation so that can't be the cause.
So is it just impossible to tar a directory with so many files and is it even possible to get a list of the files in that directory?

My 150gb Raptor drive in my Q9300 + 8gb ram server got corrupt. When restarting, the tech got a halt error:
Windows failed to load because the kernel debugger DLL is missing, or corrupt.
Status: 0xc00000e9
File: Windowssystem32kdcom.dll
Their tech support is good, but I've lost all my valuable data. I can't say that I'm happy about using Limestonenetworks now. I never suspected that I'd be having a disk failure in the first month.

So what I got is a problem that /home partition of the server is heavily corrupted.
NOC has already done a FSCK on the disk, but not all the errors were fixed. So they are
running another FSCK.
Here's what manager suggested
Quote:
Hence, to save time, we would suggest an OS reload on the server. We may do OS reload on a fresh hard disk and then attach the current disk as secondary. After that we may use a data recovery tool such DDRESCUE to recover data from the corrupted hard drive.
Since I am bit nervous now (no backups, as chornobs wasn't been able to run it due corrupted hdd for some time) wondering. How often it fails to recover all the data? I know it's hard to say, but just aprox?

We've a hard drive corrupted.
So we can't even access as a mount point putting it as secondary hdd.
So I'm looking good data recovery services based on US, nearest as possible from Layeredtech, so I can send that disk for recovery.

I would like to know what is the difference in cpanel between a full backup and a daily or weekly backup, and how they work together. I was under the impression that a daily backup was a backup of all the files at the end of the day but apparently according to my host this is not so, and Im a bit confused as to what is the purpose of the daily and weekly backup.

We all know about backups, and compressing files, etc etc... so, what do you guys do in this situation?
I have a quad core, 4gb ram, 250gb disk, when I run cpanel backups to my remote server, the server loads go up to 3.
Is there any way I can control this and lets say... dont let it go bellow 2?
Improved Backup Performance — Speed is safe.
cPanel’s backup facilities in 11.24 have seen significant speed increases. In previous versions, load averages while backups were running could be as high as 3. With our reworked and enhanced backup system, load averages tend to stay around 1.2 when backups run on servers with many accounts. This is an extremely substantial performance increase that you and your customers will notice right away. With our new backup system, there is no reason not to keep your data safe."

I decided to use cPanels backup in a remote FTP server. But before that I want to password protect all the backups so that none unless me can open /restore the backups.

Anyone know the server path(s) for backups with whm/cpanel?
I'm talking about the backups that are kept for sites where they can be downloaded via web from cpanel. (daily, weekly, monthly)

I have been doing some research and I would love some help with this. I want to set up a cron to automatically backup my site's files & databases once a month. And I am not sure what how I do it?
- Do I need a script on my server and then the cron job runs it?
- Is there a better way to do this then cron?
