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?

How To Backup To Your PC Using Rsync
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
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?
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)
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

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.)

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.

Backup Command
I am trying to find the right command to backup files, but exclude certain ones and whole folders. I have experimented with various --exclude= and --exclude-from= combinations in my tar backups of my /var/www/html/ folder, but to not avail. I get either errors about non existant files when it checks to exclude, or it just ignores what I put and backs up the folder/files anyway. If someone could give me the proper syntax to say... backup /var/www/html/ but exclude /var/www/html/garbagefiles/ from the tar backup,

Website Backup Over Command Line
We have a dedicated server, with chroot access enabled. We are wanting to backup each site on this server, as well as all mysql dbs on a weekly basis. Is it possible for us to run a cron job to do this? If so, what commands would we want to use? We have a local FTP server here, so would like to ftp these backups this machine. I know it all sounds a little vague, but I just need to know where to get started.

Rsync Some Files From Windows To A Linux Server
At work, we have a windows 2003 server. We have a set of files that get modified from day to day. Since they know I own a dedicated server (Linux) they ask me if it would be possible to have an offsite backup on my server of the set of files on the windows 2003 server. Also, I dont want to have the whole files set to be uploaded everyday. I am aware of rsync on *nix system, but do you have any suggestions on how to proceed with a windows 2003 server to a unix server?

Run Rsync To Sync A Folder From An FTP Server
I want to run Rsync to sync a folder from an FTP server - which I have limited access too with my server. 1. Do I have to have rsync installed on the server with the FTP too, as I won't be able to do that as it is not my server. 2. Is Rsync easy enough to get up and running and set it to run every 24hours?

Server Refused To Start Shell/command
I am having some server issues. A part of my sshd_config: Port 2255 Protocol 2 ListenAddress 8x.xx.xx.46 PermitRootLogin no Recently, when I want to connect to my server using putty, I get "Connection Refused" using the above IP address and port. When I enter the above IP address (or any other IP address that is stored/set on the server) and port 22, I get "Server refused to start shell/command". It did work before, using 8x.xx.xx.46:2255 and when I enter 8x.xx.xx.46:22 it will block. But now... not anymore. I am using "Direct Admin" to do a "System Backup". I do see the right port and IP address in the sshd_config file. How can I fix this? I can not login the server anymore, however I am going to the datacenter tomorrow.

Using Domain Name Server (DNS) And A Backup Server
I currently have two VPS servers, each with 2 DNS names running on them as follows: dns1.mydomain.com (on Server A) dns2.mydomain.com (on Server A) dns3.mydomain.com (on Server B) dns4.mydomain.com (on Server B) I have websites running on each server and I would like to have something set-up so that when one server goes down, the other server displays a nice page saying the website is unavailable currently and will be back shortly - you know, something nicer then the normal "Server Not Found" default messages. What is the best way to do this? If I have CLIENTDOMAIN.COM and put them on Server A and they use all 4 DNS server names, will the top two DNS names always be used by people finding the website, and the bottom two choices only be used if the top two can't be found? I believe I have to create an account on Server B for them as well, just only placing the temporary page within the account, rather then a whole copy of their website. Correct?

New Server Without OS (Remote FTP Backup Server)
I just purchased a new server with 4 hotswap HDD of 250GB each and reload with new CentOS 5 without any host control panel. The purpose is to backup all my other Cpanel servers data remotely. All my Cpanel servers are fully managed servers. This is the first time i'm going to do all things by myself, so I'm really a newbie. Please don't advise me to hire a server admin because I end up learning nothing I need to learn.. 1. My first step now is to secure & harden the server. - Can anyone mind to share with me valueable knowledge of basic server security & hardening? I was also thinking to use sudo root password which my serveradmin actually did but I don't know how. But su - access level would be OK too. - I also need to install firewall and close all kind of port and block all SSH connection from all kind of IP except my server & my own IP address only. Can anyone provide me a guide? 2. Secondly what I need is to install FTPd and create user for each hard drive with 2 directory inside. /sda/server1/ /sda/server2/ /sdb/server3/ /sdb/server4/ /sdc/server5/ (reserved for future server) /sdc/server6/ (reserved for future server) /sdd/server7/ (reserved for future server) /sdd/server8/ (reserved for future server) Does anyone knows where to find documentation how do install ftpd and how to setup user pointed to the specific directory.

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/

Backup Server
I'm looking for a dedicated machine that will be used solely for rsync backups. (I don't want to use a shared rsync solution) Requirements are simple, at least 1TB HD and < $99 a month. Should have a decent amount of RAM and processor, but other than that, I would think any reputable provider would do. Most places I find a suitable server for $49 and then see it's another $50/mo. to upgrade to a 1TB hard drive. Hard to believe the markup for these larger drives considering they go for, what $89 now?

Server Backup Methodology
How do you handle the backups on your server? I just got a new dedicated server and our server does automatic backups, but I think it only saves to the existing hard drive. How frequently do you back up? I think the standard is every Sunday or Sunday/Wed depending on your traffic load. Where do you put your backups? A remote FTP server? A second hard drive?

Cheap Backup Server
