Remote CPanel Backup
Jun 9, 2009What's the best way to do a remote backup? Right now I have them all being backed up to a 2nd drive on the server.
If I do a remote backup, is it just as easy to access the files and do a restore?

Oct 10, 2007I want to back-up accounts managed by cPanel/WebHostManager to a remote server. I want to be able to restore to any of the last 7 days. I believe doing an incremental back-up each night can accomplish this best, saving both bandwidth and disk space on the remote server.
Using the back-up functionality built into WHM is appealing because WHM knows what files need to be backed up to do a full restore. However, WHM can't do exactly what I'm looking for either. I've been looking into using rsync as described in this document:

It looks becaue of the "hard link" capabilities of linux, rsync can be used to create what functions like a full back-up every night but requires a full backup the first day and then each day after that only the incremental changes have to be transfered. However, because I don't know what directories need to be backed up, I'm not sure how to implement an rsyc solution either. (BTW, I want to back-up everything necessary to be able to restore each account except the log files. So, that means MySQL, mail, config info, and whatever the user has uploaded)
Mass Backup Accounts To Remote FTP With ROOT Access And CPanel/WH
Jan 28, 2008I have a VPS and about 140 accounts on it. I've also got cPanel and WHM installed. I'm moving to a new host, but the thought of having to move all these accounts manually really makes me lazy I have to go into each account and go to backup -> backup to remote FTP, and yeah..
Is there any way I can mass backup all of my accounts, or all accounts I select, to a specified FTP server?
I only have root access on my VPS, but not on the server I'm moving all the backups to..
Remote Backup Or Local Backup
Oct 31, 2007I 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?
Remote Backup
May 16, 2008I have a linux dedicated server and use BMU (BackMeUp) for create cpanel full backup.
But this cant create remote backup for me. BMU use "ncftp" for this. and i see following error about this problem:
Time: Fri May 16 03:38:17 2008
The following list of files have FAILED the md5sum comparision test. This means that the file has been changed in some way. This could be a result of an OS update or application upgrade. If the change is unexpected it should be investigated:
/usr/local/bin/ncftp: FAILED
So, im install "ncftp" manually, but issue not resolved and i havent remote ftp backup too!
How can resolve this issue?

Remote Backup Biz
Oct 2, 2008I have already developed shell scripts to automate account management, add/delete users, change quota, passwords etc. I am now working on web interface which will be used for managing the accounts, testing some free scripts and writing tutorials.
So far, my scripts can create chrooted (jailed) accounts with some basic shell commands.
The same disk space is also configured in samba and rsync daemon. Customers can use ssh/sftp or simply mount it as a network drive. Free utilities for Windows users (like deltacopy) work just fine with rsync daemon. Script can also modify iptables-based firewall and allow only certain IPs to access the server but I am still working on that part.
It takes about 10 seconds to create a new account and I have tested it on CentOS server.
Backup To Remote Ftp
May 29, 2007I'm thinking about buying a shared hosting plan with lots of space. Anyone do backups to remote ftp server instead of rsync? I was wondering if it was possible to configure ftp in such a way to only transfer files that are NOT present on the remote ftp. This way, it doesn't overwrite existing files and thus save on bandwidth. Is it possible to transfer an entire folder with a ftp command, I know the mput command is for uploading multiple files to another location. Lastly, what are the advantages of rsync over ftp besides saving banddwidth and trannsferring only files that were changed?

May 20, 2007I noticed that when "WHM Remote Backup" backs up my websites via ftp, the tar.fz archives are incomplete, meaning the backup is pretty much useless. I have tried with both PASV on and off and it still persists.
Any ideas why?
Also, what is the command to force the whm remote backup to run?
What Exactly Is Remote Backup?
Dec 6, 2007What exactly do you do when you take a remote backup through resync?
For instance, if i signed up with say bqbackup and started resyncing and taking backups, would i be copying all the data from my server to the remote server or is it possible only to copy the cpanel backups made daily/monthly/weekly to the remote space?
Also, when the resync runs everyday, does it replace the old files or does it create a new copy of everything that has changed?
