Short answer: Yes! If you want to do that without modifying the script use a mount point which is over the network, samba, nfs, ssh, ftp, etc. Another solution is to transfer the backed up files after the back-res script has done his job.
Hi, I have another script with Differential backup for ISPConfig sites which I modified from oZimbraBackup script. It provides full and differential backup for websource, full backup for all databases, upload backup to another server via ftp. Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?5looz46d3ado94l
Hi go0ogl3, I have 2 ISPConfig server named server1.test.com and mirror.test.com (which mirrors ISPConfig config from server1). On the server1, I only backup these directories plus all databases dump: I tried to exclude the /usr because it take so much space. The ISPConfig on server1 can be successfully restored with the backup set I used. After restored, server1 and mirror still replicates. Can you check if we can safely exclude the /usr and some other directories from your backup script? Tks, Anh
I currently use Bacula to backup ISPconfig server. I can easily restore the ISPConfig configuration and websites without having to reconfigure the permission for sites. Anh
Hi, Can you tell me waht you need instructions for? Using Bacula? Or what you need to backup on ISPConfig server?
Yes. You have to enter all the websites you wish to backup in DIRECTORIES variable in the script. Example: Code: DIRECTORIES="/var/www/web1 /var/www/web2 /var/www/web3" take care with the simlinks... tar backs up only the simlink, not the target content!
Hello, If you can exclude the /usr it's only your decision. If you know you don't have anythin irrecuperable you can exclude as many directories as you like. For example I personnaly, if the space is tight, back up only the /etc, /www and the databases on some servers... When it cames for the restore, I install the respective linux distribution, then restore the /etc /www and the databases over the fresh install. Take care, if you have anything changed in other directories, you'll run into problems!
Hi go0ogl3, please let me know the steps how to run your backup script. Sorry i never run a cron job before. do i need to rename the downloaded file to .SH? or how to put it in ISP3 > sites > corn job? Thanks
Hello Thank you for your script. It's working perfectly but I have a problem when I try to launch the script with CRON. Actually, if I run manually the script with this command Code: /etc/back-res.sh The script back up my datas. But if Cron launchs the script, nothing happens... I tried to see if there is errors in cron.log but I don't see them ... Cron is working, I do a simple test by creating a file and it's working. The only crontask which is not working is this one : 10 12 * * 1 /ect/back-res.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null Do you have an idea ? Thank you.
Problem solved, I rename /etc/back-res.sh with /etc/back-res and I replace cron task 10 12 * * 1 /ect/back-res.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null with 10 12 * * 1 /ect/back-res 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null

Code: note : Table does not support optimize, doing recreate + analyze instead roundcube.users note : Table does not support optimize, doing recreate + analyze instead mysqldump: Got error: 1044: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' to database 'information_schema' when using LOCK TABLES Are my tables being backed up anyway? There is no problem with root@localhost. Why does that message show up? Excellent script. Thanks.
The error messages are ok. Not every mysql table type can be optimized and the information_schema database is a internal mysql database structure, so you can not back that up and it does not need to be included in the backup.
Needed changes on Centos 6.2 64-bit So I changed the lines beginning with year=, md= and day= so they are like this: Code: year=`ls -ct $BACKUPDIR | grep -v ^log | tail -n 1 | cut -d "-" -f 1` md=`ls -ct $BACKUPDIR | grep -v ^log | tail -n 1 | cut -d "-" -f 2` day=`ls -ct $BACKUPDIR | grep -v ^log | tail -n 1 | cut -d "-" -f 3 | cut -d "." -f 1` I also had to make sure the tmpdir= variable was pointing to a valid directory which it didn't on Centos 6.2 64-bit. Now everything works great! I was backing up a production mail server because we needed to move to a new server.
Code: /bin/tar: /var/www/roundcube/logs/errors: file changed as we read it /bin/tar: /var/spool/postfix/dev/log: socket ignored /bin/tar: /www: Cannot stat: No such file or directory /bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors Looks like the databases backed up just fine. I understand the roundcube problem. I attempted to back up in the middle of the day and something changed. Not sure about the /www error. Should I change that to /var/www or remove it from the script?
