I've been following the Mirror Your Web Site With rsync tutorial in an effort to backup my clients sites to another server. Because I use a VPS with relatively small disk space, I don't have the room to run a .tgz backup script like I want. In step 2 it states that "(of course, someuser must have read permissions on /var/www on server1.example.com)." To solve this, I added 'someuser' the each clients' group (client1, client2, etc.) which solved some of the problem. However, using ISPConfig 3.0.4.1 (my current version), the ../client/client#/web#/web folder is set to 710. As such, the group doesn't have read permission to the folder, thus backing up the ./web directory doesn't work. You guys have always stated that manually changing permissions to individual folders managed by ISPConfig is a bad thing. So, what is your recommendation to allow 'someuser' to read the ./web directory in order to rsync this info to another box?
So you're saying to change the cron job on the mirror from this line Code: rsync -avz --delete --exclude=**/stats --exclude=**/error --exclude=**/files/pictures -e "ssh -i /root/rsync/mirror-rsync-key" [email protected]:/var/www/ /var/www/ to this line? Code: rsync -avz --delete --exclude=**/stats --exclude=**/error --exclude=**/files/pictures -e "ssh -i /root/rsync/mirror-rsync-key" [email protected]:/var/www/ /var/www/ EDIT: I mulled over what you said, then went back and re-read the HOWTO again. If I'm reading you correctly, I'm to redo the article substituting root anywhere I see 'someuser'. Is this what you're saying?
