How Can I Backup CPanel With Cron
Nov 6, 2008I just went through a week of nightmares, because my host lost hard drives and stuff.. lost my data, etc.. what ever..
I want to work out how I can cron cPanel backups. I did a search online for a cPanel backup manager, but I didn't have much luck.
Or, maybe there's some other way to get regular backups?
I don't really need to backup my whole sites. I keep my files locally, but of course I don't have the databases locally -- or the email records.
All I "really" need is the database SQL files, so that I can rebuild my forums if need be, and also the email setup files -- because I have over 50 domains and I have emails set up on all of them.
I want to have them emailed to myself.
There's an option in cPanel too, which allows me to "generate/download a full backup".. well, how do I "restore" the backup? ie: I know how to backup and restore the home directory, databases and email stuff (there's 3 options in cPanel), but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to restore the full backup.
Anyway, can anyone give me advice on how to keep backups of my cPanel accounts? I don't trust hosts anymore. They say they back stuff up, but they never to.

Backup MySQL Databases By Cron
Apr 1, 2007how to backup MySQL databases by cron and have the backups sent to you by email, or have them uploaded by FTP. It is based on a script I found at another website though I can confirm it is fully working.
Change the commented variables in the following file and save it as backup.sh:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# This script will backup one or more mySQL databases
# and then optionally email them and/or FTP them
# This script will create a different backup file for each database by day of the week
# i.e. 1-dbname1.sql.gz for database=dbname1 on Monday (day=1)
# This is a trick so that you never have more than 7 days worth of backups on your FTP server.
# as the weeks rotate, the files from the same day of the prev week are overwritten.
#/bin/sh /home/user/directory/scriptname.sh > /dev/null

Upload backup.sh to your server, to any directory you want. A directory which is not web-accessible will stop your login information being seen by just anyone .
You should chmod the file to 777:
Code:
chmod 777 backup.sh
If you uploaded this file from a Windows machine you will need to convert the file to Unix format. You should run the following command by SSH in the appropriate directory:
Code:
dos2unix backup.sh
If you don't have dos2unix installed, you can install it using yum if you have that:
Code:
yum install dos2unix
If you don't have yum, get it here.
You may want to test the script at this point to make sure it's doing what you want it to. Change to the appropriate directory and run this command:
Code:
./backup.sh
Once you're happy with it, enter it into the crontab to run daily (or whenever you want). Cron jobs vary a lot depending on the configuration of your system, so check Google for how to do it on your system. The command you will need to run by cron is:
Code:
/path/to/file/backup.sh
Cron Job That Deletes Backup Files Older Than 5 Days
May 31, 2009This is on a RHEL 4 Box.
I want to create a cron job that deletes backup files that are older than 5 days. I have created a shell script (/usr/local/src/runjob.sh) that runs successfully from the SSH command line:
Code:
#pwd
/usr/local/src
#./runjob.sh
Here is the script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
#
find /usr/local/apache/sites/*/BACKUPS/ -maxdepth 1 -atime +5 -iname 'test*.txt' -exec rm {} ;
Script has 777 permissions and is owned by root.
I have the following entry in crontab:
Code:
10 12 * * * /bin/sh /usr/local/src/runjob.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
As shown in the cron log, the job does run, but it does not delete the files. And there are files older than 5 days in the directory that meet the find criteria.

Copy An Account From Another Server Via WHM - Cannot Copy Mysql Database
Oct 7, 2008In previous thread we made few manual transfer of our domains.
We also made some automated migration of few domains/sites using Web Host Manager's Copy an account from another server feature.
All the files and other settings were properly transferred from old server to new server, but only the mysql database is not visible on new server. I am unsure if the same got copied to new server.

Is there any further configuring or is it all sweet?
Also, what software do you recommend to make the copy?

How Do Install A Local Copy Of TAR ?
Jul 30, 2006wasn't sure if this should go into "technical" or "programming" but I figure someone here will instantly be able to tell me...
(details: I'm on a shared host with cpanel and centos 3)
My hosting service techs refuse to update gnu TAR on the server even though it's several years old at 1.13 and has some know bugs that are annoying for complex calls - (basically the techs use any request like this to try to upsell me to dedicated or VPS which I don't need at my low level)
So I'd like to install a "local" copy of the newer gnu 1.14 or 1.15 TAR (which I *think* is possible?) into my account and have it run instead of the shared copy?
Unfortunately this is beyond my knowledge so thanks for any help in the right direction...
