Looking for Backup Script

gsxgsx Member
edited May 2012 in General

I'm trying to see if I can locate a script that will backup all MySQL databases and all files located in /var/www over either FTP or SSH. Any recommendations?

    Does automysqlbackup also backup files? I would like to backup the /var/www directory as well.

    No, it just backs up MySQL databases.

    Look at tar or rsync/rsnapshot if you want to backup files.

    Simplest method:
    1. tar -czvf backup.tar.gz /var/www/
    2. Move backup.tar.gz somewhere safe

    :-)

    By itself, it only does SQLdumps. However, it supports pre- and post- run scripts, so you could easily add in directory backups yourself.
