Hi all, I am looking for an automatic backup for my ISPConfig server. Something that could run nightly under cron and backup all my databases, sites and server+ISPConfig files and configurations. I found the following script online, wondering if it would work provided you set it to capture: /home /var/www /root /etc -J Code: #!/bin/sh # System + MySQL backup script # Full backup day - Sun (rest of the day do incremental backup) # Copyright (c) 2005-2006 nixCraft # This script is licensed under GNU GPL version 2.0 or above # Automatically generated by http://bash.cyberciti.biz/backup/wizard-ftp-script.php # --------------------------------------------------------------------- ### System Setup ### DIRS="/home /etc /var/www" BACKUP=/tmp/backup.$$ NOW=$(date +"%d-%m-%Y") INCFILE="/root/tar-inc-backup.dat" DAY=$(date +"%a") FULLBACKUP="Sun" ### MySQL Setup ### MUSER="admin" MPASS="mysqladminpassword" MHOST="localhost" MYSQL="$(which mysql)" MYSQLDUMP="$(which mysqldump)" GZIP="$(which gzip)" ### FTP server Setup ### FTPD="/home/vivek/incremental" FTPU="vivek" FTPP="ftppassword" FTPS="208.111.11.2" NCFTP="$(which ncftpput)" ### Other stuff ### EMAILID="[email protected]" ### Start Backup for file system ### [ ! -d $BACKUP ] && mkdir -p $BACKUP || : ### See if we want to make a full backup ### if [ "$DAY" == "$FULLBACKUP" ]; then FTPD="/home/vivek/full" FILE="fs-full-$NOW.tar.gz" tar -zcvf $BACKUP/$FILE $DIRS else i=$(date +"%Hh%Mm%Ss") FILE="fs-i-$NOW-$i.tar.gz" tar -g $INCFILE -zcvf $BACKUP/$FILE $DIRS fi ### Start MySQL Backup ### # Get all databases name DBS="$($MYSQL -u $MUSER -h $MHOST -p$MPASS -Bse 'show databases')" for db in $DBS do FILE=$BACKUP/mysql-$db.$NOW-$(date +"%T").gz $MYSQLDUMP -u $MUSER -h $MHOST -p$MPASS $db | $GZIP -9 > $FILE done ### Dump backup using FTP ### #Start FTP backup using ncftp ncftp -u"$FTPU" -p"$FTPP" $FTPS< mkdir $FTPD mkdir $FTPD/$NOW cd $FTPD/$NOW lcd $BACKUP mput * quit EOF ### Find out if ftp backup failed or not ### if [ "$?" == "0" ]; then rm -f $BACKUP/* else T=/tmp/backup.fail echo "Date: $(date)">$T echo "Hostname: $(hostname)" >>$T echo "Backup failed" >>$T mail -s "BACKUP FAILED" "$EMAILID" <$T rm -f $T fi
