Rsync Backup To NAS Via FTP

Apr 7, 2008

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.)

Jul 28, 2008

I use bqbackup.com in addition to ServInt's backup. The ServInt backup is inaccessible to me and can be restored only by their NoC.

Is there a way for me to download the backup files from bqbackup.com to my PC? I am using Win XP Pro. I backup the entire VPS, but I want to be downloading only the changes made each day after the initial download to my PC.

Rsync / Backup

Nov 10, 2007

I am setting up a mirror server to kick on in the event my main server fails and I need some help with syncing the two.

It is my understanding I can use rsync to mirror the two. But, will that cover everything (ie. database, mail, etc) or only files?

So I Do An RSync Backup - How Do I Restore It?

May 3, 2008

Backing up a server is obviously very important. Lets say I do a daily rSync backup and eventually my server HDD crashes, I know it isn't just a 'one click' job to restore my backup but what is it necessary to do in order to carry out a complete and effective restore back to how it was?

A step-by-step 'tutorial' on restoring an rSync backup would be helpful not just to me but to many 'would-be' server administrators.

Databases Backup ? (Rsync)

Nov 3, 2008

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

Apr 16, 2007

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

Using Rsync To Backup An Entire Server

Mar 12, 2007

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

Jan 18, 2009

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

I am going to backup the whole server. (Rsync)

I understood it is not efficient to backup the local "backup" folder to avoid duplicated backups.

1. Should I exclude additional folders from the backup process?

2. I noticed it is familiar to exclude the "proc" folder also ... Why?

Daily Backup + Rsync Ssh + Large Number Of Files

Oct 29, 2006

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.

Offsite Backups (via Rsync) - What Files/folders To Backup

Jun 3, 2009

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?

Rsync Instructions

Aug 2, 2006

I have been trying to setup rsync on my server and following these instructions

http://www.bqbackup.com/setup.html

The problem is I keep getting errors.

On this step,

ssh-keygen -t rsa -N

I edited it and did ssh-keygen -t rsa --N becauseI got an error saying it need the '--' before the N.

So after getting through that part, I got these questions asked

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:

I left the passphrase empty, and then when it asked where to save to, I just typed in 'rsa'. Then it gave me some fingerprint.

Then I get to the step,

# scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub yourusername@yourusername.bqbackup.com:keys/server1
# ssh yourusername@yourusername.bqbackup.com mergekeys

But I get errors saying

-bash: cat~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub: No such file or directory

I dont get what I'm doing wrong. If somebody doesnt mind, can you please re-write the steps on getting this working, or maybe tell me where I am going wrong if the tutorial is correct?

Second Time To Run Rsync?

Jul 8, 2007

one day later, if I run the following command again, the command is same as the one run by the first time.

rsync -avz username@IP:/home/asite/public_html/ /home/asite/public_html/

does it mean rsync will just check and copy the newer folders and files from the last copy?
