View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a shared account which I would like to back-up on a cron job.
I know several people have tried to create these type of scripts but they dont seem to do the following:
1) Full cPanel back-up (files/mysql etc)
2) FTP the back-up to a remote server
3) Delete the back-up on the local server
4) Delete the old back-up on the remote server
Does anyone know of a script that will do the above or several scripts I could use?
Webhostgear have one but that only moves the back-up file between servers, it doesn't backup or delete.
my nightly backups are failing:
Copying homedir..../bin/gtar: -: Cannot write: No space left on device
/bin/gtar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Done
my / volume simply isn't big enough to support the temp data.
Is there a way to change this to run the backup from a different location? I have gigs and gigs available in /home and /var.
What's the best way I can fully back my server up? I use cPanel/Whm
View 1 Replies View RelatedMany of the VPS providers I've looked at don't back up the servers that house the VPSs and as such don't back up the VPSs either - have you considered what would happen should the VPS itself be erased (such as what happened to vaserv/fsckvps not too long ago)?

my data are about 2gigs. I want to know what is best way of backing up?
I have setup a xen vps. I have installed a package called Ossim. The xen VPS is based on the OS -- Centos 5. There are no web hosting panels etc installed like cpanel or plesk. Iam going to proceed with a few more software installations on it like elastix.
However before proceeding further, i want to backup the entire vps ie the entire data in it.
I've always thought, and it is like that, that the back ups are part of any quality VPS Hosting service. But see this below. It is part of the TOS, listed by quite popular vps hosting provider.
"Your use of - - - servers and services is at your sole risk. - - - is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your VPS. While complimentary backups may be provided by - - -, you agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred to/from and maintained on your VPS and agree that it is your own responsiblity to take backups of data residing on your VPS."
if this steps is possible.
Back Up files from WHM / cPanel -> Download to PC -> Store it in NAS storage or an external hard disk.
Would that be possible? Is there any risk involve like my data would be corrupted?
I want to set up a cron job to make daily back-ups of my database, but by turning my site off first.
This is how I envisage it to work:
1: rename '.htacess' (in public_html folder for the site) to .htaccess-open
2: rename '.htaccess-closed' to .htaccess
// this closes the site down so no-one can write/access the db (they are basically shown a 'site down for maintenance' page - I already have the code for this)
3: mysqldump --opt (DB_NAME) -u (DB_USERNAME) -p(DB_PASSWORD) > /path/to/dbbackup-$(date +%m%d%Y).sql
// this backs up the database
4: wait for 3 to finish
5: rename '.htaccess' to .htaccess-closed
6: rename '.htacess-open' to .htaccess
// this opens the site back upIs this easy enough to do? Anyone got any tips/pointers?
I would like some tips on how to create back ups with WHM/cPanel on a Reseller if you could.
Also where to store them?
I was thinking of storing them up on a VPS or Dedi server that just has backups or should I buy a enternal Hard Drive for my computer and store them on that? I have a 500GB Hard Drive.
how the backup in WHM works as far as data retention. For example, if I select the "daily backup" option, does
- WHM create a new backup for each day every day moving foward until the drive it uses is filled up, OR
- WHM creates a backup for each day of the week, overwriting the previous week's same day data.
I would like to make some kind of script (probably .sh?) that automatically takes a directory, makes a copy of it then makes a gzip tar and then shoots it over to an FTP server. I would like this to happen twice a day (ie. every 12 hours).

if I get a dedicated server, is there a way or software program where I can back up my server to a hard drive at my house? OR is better to just pay the monthly fee and get a second hard drive installed and back it up on their server?
