Schedule backups with ISPConfig?

That depends on the FTP client you use and what you want to do.
In a web browser, typing ftp://(server.ip)/folder/folder/ should list the content of folder/folder/
Is this what you wanted to know?

henri, you have a pm

 

You're right GJ, I forgot to explain something about the script

By default, the script will create a folder for each web (web1, web2, web3, etc.) in the root folder of your FTP account

This is suitable for my case but it might not be for yours.

Here's a new version that allows you to define the path to the folder where you
want the web folders to be created:

PHP:

// HENRI Version 3
set_time_limit(0);

include("/root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.inc.php");
include("/root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/server.inc.php");

if($go_info["server"]["do_automated_backups"] != 1) die();

// Erstelle Namen für Backup Datei
$backup_file_name = "backup_".date("Y_m_d",time()).".zip";

// HENRI
define('FTP_SERVER', 'xxxxxx');
define('FTP_USER_NAME', 'xxxxxxx');
define('FTP_USER_PASS', 'xxxxxxxxx');
define('FTP_PATH', ''); // the path to the folder where backup files will be stored. e.g. '/my/folder' (no slash at the end)
                        // leave it empty to store backup files in the root folder of the FTP account
define('FTP_DAYS', 20); // the script will keep FTP backups this number of days. Min value is 1.

// set old_backup_file_name
$old_time = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d') - FTP_DAYS, date('Y'));
$old_backup_file_name = 'backup_'.date('Y_m_d', $old_time).'.zip';
//~HENRI


// [...]


                // Delete temp file
                exec("rm -rf $tmp_dir");
                
                // HENRI Send file to FTP server
                send_backup($web_id, $backup_dir);
                //~HENRI

}

// All web site
$webs = $mod->db->queryAllRecords("SELECT * FROM isp_isp_web");
if(!empty($webs)){
  foreach($webs as $web){
    do_backup($web['doc_id']);
  }
}

// HENRI
function send_backup($web_id, $backup_dir) {
    global $backup_file_name, $old_backup_file_name;
    
    // Connect and login to FTP server
    $conn_id = @ftp_connect(FTP_SERVER);
    $login_result = @ftp_login($conn_id, FTP_USER_NAME, FTP_USER_PASS);
    if (!$conn_id || !$login_result) {
        echo "FTP connection failed for ".FTP_USER_NAME."!\n";
        return false;
    }
    else {
        echo FTP_USER_NAME." connected\n";
    }
    
    // Create web_dir if necessary
    $web_dir = FTP_PATH.'/web'.$web_id;
    if (@ftp_mkdir($conn_id, $web_dir)) {
        echo "Created $web_dir\n";
    }
    
    // Upload backup
    $destination_file = $web_dir.'/'.$backup_file_name;
    $source_file = $backup_dir.'/'.$backup_file_name;
    $uploaded = @ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);
    
    // Display result
    if (!$uploaded) {
        echo "Failed sending $destination_file\n";
    }
    else {
        echo "Successed sending $destination_file\n";
        
        // Remove old backup
        $destination_file = $web_dir.'/'.$old_backup_file_name;
        if (@ftp_delete($conn_id, $destination_file)) {
            echo "Removed old backup: $destination_file\n";
        }
    }
    
    // Close FTP connection
    @ftp_close($conn_id);
    
    return $uploaded;
}
//~HENRI



In your case, you should write :

PHP:

define('FTP_SERVER', 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX'); // replace by the real IP
define('FTP_USER_NAME', 'xxxxxxx');
define('FTP_USER_PASS', 'xxxxxxxxx');
define('FTP_PATH', '/array1/web'); // no slash at the end

It should work

Henri

 

it sure did! thanks Henri, you helped me to do exactly what i have been trying to accomplish for at least a year. your modification should make it into ispconfig3! at the very least, you should be promoted to developer, you know what your doing. thanks again

 

Very happy it was useful to you too
Maybe this feature is already in ISPConfig3.
Does somebody know?

Henri
