Three days and I have not had an automated backup yet. I think that means something's not working right. In cron... Code: 40 3 * * * /etc/back-res 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null Everything looks like it checks out, but nothing is saving to the target directory: /srv/bck. Any ideas?
Typo… cron was looking for back-res when the file name was back_res. I feel terrible about that one. :-( I think it will work just fine now.
You must delete my original draft of the previous post. I forgot to remove some critical information.
back-res so i have the back-res working well, however no notification mail is sent when the backup is done. looks like this part is never reached: "# Send accumulated maildata an cleanup mail -s "Daily backup of $COMPUTER `date +'%F'`" "$email" < $tmpdir/maildata rm -rf $tmpdir/datestart rm -rf $tmpdir/dateend rm -rf $tmpdir/excluded rm -rf $tmpdir/maildata " what could be the reason for this?
Hello go0ogl3, I want to run my backups as - full backups on Sundays and daily incremental backups on weekdays, what changes do I need to make? Dipesh
Hello I have been advised to use this script to make a backup of my files. I was looking for a way to backup all of my sites on ispconfig and restore them including all mysql databases so that I can install a fresh ispconfig install if my server gets comprimised. I have managed to make the backups but I cannot work out how the restore part works. I am using Debian 6 and any advice would be great Thanks.
VM is the Perfect Solution. VM is better than physical server from the viewpoint of maintenance and security.
Hello I am still very unclear on how you restore the backup files that are created with the backup script. The script says backup and restore. I have managed the backup bit but how do you restore the files please. This is the only thing now stopping me from using ISPConfig on my vps server to host my sites and blogs. As soon as I have this sorted out I can go ahead and move my sites to my vps knowing that they would be secure and I would have a backup to restore if my vps got comprimised. Thanks
Take a look into the script, the restore procedure is described in the comments at the beginning of the script:
Thanks for your reply Till I have read the 'comments' section of the script and that is what I cannot understand. So lets say for example my vps gets comprimised/hacked and I have to reinstall ispconfig 3 and I need to reinstall all of my sites from the backup. How do I do this? Do I upload all of the backup files that I downloaded prior to me reinstalling the OS and Ispconfig then use SSH and put the command:- back-res db mysql date and so on to restore all of those files and have my ftp, mysql databases, sites and blogs working again? Thanks
Complete backup and restore Hello, It's been awhile since I last was on this forum, so my old user was deleted My hosting company is upgrading their infrastructure, so I have to upgrade my server. The old server is running Ubuntu 10.04 with Ispconfig3, on the new server I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 and Ispconfig3. Can I use this script to backup the old server and restore it on the new server without any compatibility issues? Thanks for the great software and forum!
Problems with script Hello. Now ive tried both an Ubuntu 12.10 Server And an debian 6. Both of them can backup just fine ! but when i try the restore database. I get the mysql -x error.. its on all of the servers.. It looks like its eating the Tar command in the script and then not knowing what to do next
Since nobody ddid anything i did it myself.. i know it may not be the best way to do it.. but now it works for me at least ! From line 550 and forward.. this fixes the restore script if you keep getting the -x is not valid blah blah. Code: for i in $arh ; do rdb=`echo $i | cut -d "-" -f2` edb=`echo $i | cut -d "." -f1` $TAR $EARG $BACKUPDIR/$YDATE-$MDATE/$i mysql -u$dbuser -p$dbpassword $rdb < $edb.sql rm $edb.sql done
Hi guys, using the script on a CentoOS with ISPConfig3, I get the following output: Code: # ./bak-res.sh ./bak-res.sh: line 226: /tmp/tmpbck/maildata: No such file or directory ./bak-res.sh: line 229:
