Backing Up Entire Website
Jan 25, 2008
we dont host our own website, but recenty our server crashed, and our hosting provider was supposed to be backing things up. They told us that the entire server crashed and the backups were on the same server so we lost everthing. we actually did end up getting evertying back but it took nearly a week to get back online. they said they are now backing up everthing in a remote location so this wont happen again, but we dont want to put this in their hands anymore, we didnt even get everything back .htaccess, hidden files, subdomains were not backup up and lost. So we want to do our own backing up.
Is there some thing I can set up as a cron task to weekly automatically backup every single file on the server, and the database?
We think this would be very beinificial to us as we lost alot of money from this ordeal and we do not want it to happen again.

A single website is returning 503 to every request - it's a wordpress site - and we have a lot of those, none of the others are returning the same errors, so this is quite odd to me:
141.101.70.247 - - [03/Sep/2014:08:29:36 -0600] "GET /apple-touch-icon.png HTTP/1.1" 503 1330 "-"
"MobileSafari/9537.53 CFNetwork/672.1.15 Darwin/14.0.0"
173.245.50.138 - - [03/Sep/2014:08:36:18 -0600] "GET /tag/rohloff/ HTTP/1.1" 503 1330 "-"

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0"
I do see some ModSecurity warnings from last night:
[Tue Sep 02 23:07:58 2014] [error] [client 141.101.98.8] ModSecurity: XML parser error: XML: Failed parsing document. [hostname "WEBSITE.co.uk"] [uri "/xmlrpc.php"] [unique_id "VAaiLrhfKCIAAAvNboMAAAAP"]
[Tue Sep 02 23:07:58 2014] [error] [client 141.101.98.8] ModSecurity: Access denied with code 400 (phase 2).
[Code] .....
but no errors in the site error_log since that last one - all I see now is 503 errors.
How to proceed with debugging the cause of this?

I figure while I am twiddling my thumbs here waiting for my host to tell me what the heck happened for the second time in two or three months why they have to do an entire VPS hard restart, which of course causes another hour of fck delays, that I'd ask some of the more skilled and experience folks here, how?
Just before it happened, as I was watching, the load shotup over 1, 2, 4, 20, 30 boom. (I opened a ticket at 4)
Shouldn't virtuozzo always guarantee a certain amount of cpu and bandwidth to the node root? Why do they have to hard reboot and not access it directly and stop the badly behaving vps? Better yet, why isn't the badly behaving vps stopped automatically by virtuozzo?
(oh and am I an idiot for putting up with over two hours of downtime?)

I always use Apache and it's easy to redidrect an entire domain in the htaccess.
Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain1.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [url]$1 [R=301,L]
For a site I'm working on I need to achieve the same thing with IIS but have no idea how to and the technician claims it can't be done. Surely, that's not the case. Any ideas?
By the way I want the exact same effect as the above not just a generic redirect that sends everthing to the home page of the new domain.

I have come across an issue where traffic from India is hurting my business. What I have is a number of job boards. Realistically, the only issue I am having is with IT and Engineering positions being applied for heavily by people in India. Since my customer base is all in the USA, I would like to just block India.
While I know this is easy with Apache using a .htaccess file, I am using IIS on server 2007. Does anyone have any idea on how to do this easily with the large number of IPs that India uses?

how to ban an entire top-level domain? For example ban everyone from Russia by coming from the .ru domain? Or everyone from Lithuania by somehow banning everyone coming from .It ip address.
I've had some people from those places try to hack my site and am fed up with it. So I want to ban those two entire countries for the time being using cPanel X's "IP Deny Manager".
By the way I am not a technical person. Just your every day person running a site.

Just got off the phone with tech support and they noticed that someone was trying to gain brute force entry to our VPS. We want to view our logs but can only see the last 250 lines or so when using this command inside putty:
tail -9000 /var/log/messages
How do we see / copy the entire 9000 entries to view in a text editor? Any tips would be great. I am a newbie at this.

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?

Yet another question for you all. As part of my remit I need to work out power usage across the DC. It's not huge. Approx 300 servers across 50 physical servers (BL7000c with BL46x series blades) as well as several sans/disk arrays (DotHill, HDC, HP MSA) and appliances, Ciscos, POE 8xxx series procurves etc)
All these are racked up and being fed from 32Amp APC PDUs (without monitoring). It's three phase in, single phase out. We can't really run 3 phase because I am not allowed to run it due to the 6 foot rule.
Our UPS is rated at 30KVA but we are running it at the max at around 24KVA.
What I need to do, is work out on an individual basis how much power each one draws, ideally without a power down. The reason, as well as identifying the power hogs (such as several SUN V series servers), is to reduce the overall carbon footprint and energy costs.

to get a copy of their entire site onto our servers.
The problem is that they have no backups, and their current host has denied them access to their account. (It's a long story.)
Rather then try and fight with their old host, I wonder if it's easier to just run some kind of "website copy" program and grab a copy of all pages and images, linked files, etc..
Their current website pages are served using an ASP database application, but the copy they need only has to work. It doesn't need to be dynamic, etc... as long as all the pages are there it's good.

I'm contemplating creating a website that could store extremely sensitivity information. It's more than likely that a MySQL database would house this information.
My question is. Does anybody have any experience when it comes to encrypting an entire server disk?
I've searched online with disappointing results.

I currently run the odd backup using rsync on my linux computer. However, for convenience I'd like to run backups on windows to my desktop PC.
I was just wondering if anyone knew of a decent program that does incremental backups, hopefully via rsync. My VPS is running debian.
What I'd love to have is a backup folder containing 12 monthly backups and 7 daily backups:
daily.0
daily.1
daily.2
daily.3
daily.4
daily.5
daily.6
monthly.0
monthly.1
monthly.2
monthly.3
monthly.4
...
Any idea if this can be done in windows? If not windows, is there an easy to use script I can set up on my linux computer?

I understand that servers can do automatic backups of information, yet I also see forum modifications that enable simple ways of doing a backup. Are there different types of backups? Why is it necessary to manually backup a forum database when its done automatically by the server? In terms of assuring the data, what is required and whats a typical procedure, what does it entail, is it manual and if so usually how often, or is it usually automatic?

I currently have 2 VPS accounts. The first one runs cPanel and hosts my website's files.
The second VPS hosts the mysql databases which the website uses. There are about 70 databases, each averaging about 120MB in size.
At current, i use sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/ to backup each database over two days. (This crashes the server briefly for about 10 minutes per day ). I then use rsync on both servers to backup everything to off-site location.
Obviously, I need to find a better solution. I was thinking about backing up the databases weekly instead. However, the 10 minute downtime period from the script will still happen.

I have a cPanel control panel for my site and noticed the backup feature.
Now my site consists of a homepage and a vBulletin forum. If I use the cPanel backup feature will this backup my entire vBulletin forum as well?
I just want something where I can backup on a weekly basis with a click of a button if possible.
Also, is it simply a case of clicking a few buttons to restore the backup should I need to at a later date?

We have a dedicated server with CPanel/WHM. It appears that the CPanel/WHM backup portion of the control panel is not functioning properly, as we just had an incident where all mySQL databases were deleted from the system and the last backup we had was from 03/31/08. This is not acceptable, as we need to have atleast at the min. weekly backups done of our system.
We are in need of a FREE 3rd Party (preferrably open source) solution where we can install on our Linux CentOS system to be able to have backups, and would like to have this software preferrably be able to backup to a remote location, but this is not required.

I am basically a Mac user and my windows desktop just went kaput. I am looking for a cheap and dirty way to make back-ups of my MS SQL 2000 DB.
Is it possible to run a script that creates a copy of it in MS Access which can later be convereted back into MS SQL?
Is it possible to go from MS SQL to MySQL?
The MS SQL 2000 server is hosted on a shared server and I cannot leave DTS packages on it. I prefer not to go the DTS route as it goes way over my head anyway. I do, by the way, have a dedicated Win 2003 server.

I just ran into a problem. My cPanel license expired, and im in the middle of moving my site over to a new host.
However I cant access any of my sites cPanel,so i can go straight to phpmyadmin to backup.
My question would be:
Is it posible to backup all DBs in the server via shh?
Or is it posible to upload phpmyadmin to every sites root folder and after configuring
it to access the DBs?

Just had a quick question about backing up a large MySQL DB. I have a database that is 50gb with about half a billion entries in it. One table itself is about 40gb, the other 10gb consists of smaller tables.
The problem is, I want to back the database up and be able to keep it LIVE at the same time (as it will fall behind quickly if it's pulled for more than a few hours, as there are somewhere in the area of a million entries an hour, plus other deletions and queries).

We are resellers from ResellerZoom / ModVPS, at this moment we have about 10 accounts (8 reseller accounts and 2 VPS).
The problem starts some days ago, when they do a servers cage movement having us offline for about 8 hours at various servers.
Well, we have experienced various connectivity problems with them, and this was a major problem but we waited fine.
Yesterday. we receive an e-mail from a VPS client telling us what their sites are all showing codification problems. We opened a ticket with ModVPS and just wait their reply.
They told us that we should contact the script developer about the errors, but the problem appears at a lot of different scripts hosted on the same cPanel account. Because that, all appears to be a hacker attack.
Then, we consider that the better solution is to restore a full VPS backup, and we communicate this to ModVPS staff. And... Surprise! ModVPS don't have ANY backup for our VPS. Anything! That was one of my pre-sales question, and at that time they warrantied us a weekly backup.
We are still trying to get contact with them, but at this moment has passed 17 hours from their last answer and we are still waiting for it.
