Web Hosting :: So I Do An RSync Backup

Backup And Restore On Fedore Core 4
I've virtual dedicated server with goDaddy and i need to upgrade the server Operating system from Fedora Core 4 to Fedore Core 6 and for which i need to backup my site. I am usually doing like this.

1. make a tar ball of all the files and ftp to my local Fedora core 7 desktop

Backup And Restore Mysql Databases
I have a corrupted VPS, and have some mysql databases on it.

I want to backup databases and restore them on the new server.

Cpanel service is down on the vps and I cannot transfer accts.

Is it possible to do so ?

1- Zip or Tar the username folder in /home dir.

2- zip or tar the database name in /var/lib/mysql folder

Either by SSH or File manager trough HyperVM

Then transfer files some where safe...

When vps is rebuilt, restore the archives and databases to
the folders I have backed up before rebuilt.

There are also some accounts on a terminated vps that there is only an image of the vps available so, I only can tar files using a jailed shell account, move to the new vps and untar them.

how to do it and avoid database problems.

Servage Review - Will Not Restore Backup
I just found out the other day that all my website files have disappeared.

I emailed Servage who said it was a hardware failure.

I don't have a backup as they never advised me to.

They have said they have their own backup but they will NOT use it as it would restore over other people's accounts.

Why can't they just restore it to a different server and copy?

I am fighting them on this, they didn't even tell me there had been a failure.

Databases Backup ? (Rsync)
I am using bqinternet.com to backup (Rsync) some accounts.

I sent them a ticket before 2 days and didn't get any reply.

I used this command to schedule a remote backup for specific accounts:

Code:
echo "30 6 * * * root rsync -avz -e ssh ~account1 ~account2 ~account3 myuser@myuser.bqbackup.comerver" >> /etc/crontab

But, I found this command will backup only files.

How can I backup also databases?

Rsync Backup Related
Currently I am using rsync to backup directory and mysqldump sql file on both external and internal backup drive

Now the directory has around 100,000 files that hardly change. Only thing that happens in that directory is either the old files are deleted or new files are added. All of them image

Due to some reason when i rsync using any of the two commands below, it transfer each and every file again rather then transferring the new or updated files.

Here is what i am currently using

rsync -avH /old/path /destination/path (this is for internal backup drive)

or

rsync -avz -e ssh /old/path username@username.remoteaddress:/destination/path

why all my files in the directory all uploaded again

Host That Allows MySQL Backup/restore Via FTP
I need to get the h3ll away from Godaddy, fast!

However, my site has a large MySQL database (200 megabytes) and it's impossible to backup or restore via phpMyadmin. Godaddy has a feature on their control panel, where you can restore/backup your MySQL database to a special diretory on your web http file space, which you can upload/download vis FTP. I use this alot.

Is there any other web hosting company that offers such a feature? I haven't seen this anywhere except on Godaddy.

As to why I need to get away from Godaddy:

Basically what they did was, my site was getting too much traffic (even though it's still well under Godaddy's advertised limits for that plan)... so they sent me an email that says:

"Your site is using too much server resources. We have moved you to a new server to protect our other customers. Please identify steps to reduce your site traffic and contact us."

They moved my site to what is, apparently, a punishment area (Godaddy Hell) where all the high volume sites go. It is so extremely slow, my site might as well not exist... it is inaccessible to my visitors for all intents and purposes.

The files must be in one of these directories on the server:

You must upload the file to one of the above locations before using this feature.

why i see this error ?

Using Rsync To Backup An Entire Server
The backup program (cpbackup) that comes with WHM/Cpanel is not ideal for our current situation. We have lots of third party applications installed on our server along with many customized configuration files. We need a solution that will backup everything and allow for fairly simple restoration.

How viable is rsync for full server backups? Can it handle 100 GB of data?

More importantly, how would you restore the backup to a new server? If the new server already has an OS the restored files would break the system, right?

Rsync Backup - User Permissions
I have a problem with my rsync backup

First of all my setup is thus:

I have a Linux box at the office which has an rsync cron on it which pulls from my web server as a backup. It pulls websites, mysql, conf files etc.

My web server is running debian etch LAMP etc.

When I originally set it up I used root user to log into the web server, and setup keys to authenticate, this worked perfectly.

I then decided that having direct root access to the web server was a bad thing so I have turned off root login (PermitRootLogin no in sshd_config)

I then setup a backup user which works fine for the website files but fails on permissions for the mysql data files (/var/lib/mysql)

How can I get over this without granting root access to the backup user which would defeat the object of not allowing root access.

I have been told about host authentication based on ip address but I have dynamic address at the office so that would be no good

Rsync Backup To NAS Via FTP
I just signed up with Rsync Palace for remote backups 2 days ago. Otto and Darin at Rsync Palace gladly helped me out and actually ended up setting me up for free. It's really an inexpensive price to pay for a little additional piece of mind to have a remote backup.

I have a VPS with cPanel that has NAS on a private network. The way they set it up was for Cpanel cron job to create backups of my VPS and place the backups in a /backup folder off root; Daily, Weekly and Monthly.

Then they have Rsync via cron set up to take those backups to the remote Rsync Palace server daily.

I still want to maintain backups on my NAS in the datacenter. (cPanel will only backup remotely or locally, but not both.)

In addition to Rsync securely transferring my data to Rsync Palace for offsite backups... How can I set up Rsync to ftp the same /backup data across the private network to the NAS? (Only ftp is available via the NAS.)

Although all email adresses are now visible in my Cpanel the old passwords will not work anymore......

Offsite Backups (via Rsync) - What Files/folders To Backup
I'm currently using (amongst other backup systems) rsync to an offsite space (am using BQBackup at the moment)

I'm just wondering - apart from backing up all of /home/, /var/lib/mysql/ and the important config files (httpd.conf, php.conf, etc etc) is there anything else that *needs* to be backed up?

Obviously in a worst case scenario, a new machine would be deployed with a fresh OS install (and a fresh WHM/cPanel install) so I wouldn't worry about backing up OS files or cPanel core files, although I'm wondering if there's anything apart from the /home/ directory and the MySQL databases which would be lost (and so need backing up) in the event of a crash?

Daily Backup + Rsync Ssh + Large Number Of Files
i just wana know is it safe to do remote daily backup for about 70,000 files?

file sizes is about 200kb and every day i have about 1000 new file, so rsync first should check old files becouse i am deleting about 30-50 of them daily and them backup new 1000 files ,
so how much it will take every time to compare that 70,000 files?

i have 2 option now:

1-using second hdd and raid 1
2-using rsync and backuping to my second server , so i can save about $70 each month.

Rsyn --backup --backup-dir Switches For Incremental Backs
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/
