Hello. I would like to have a backup script that makes backup only from the sites. For example, I want the script to do the files: site1.tar.gz, site2.tar.gz, site3.tar.gz, etc. Does anyone know any good script out there?

Why would you want to do that ?

You'll still have to setup each site manually in the CP after a crash.

I need this backup solution not for a possible server crash, but for a possible deletion of some -or all- web site files. I would like to have the ability to restore these files from a specific web site, not the whole "/home" directory.

Franki,

Search the Cobalt-Users list... Their was a script that did exactly that. I came across it when I was trying to make one that did the whole server... I'd go look for it but I just don't have the time.

Try raqbackup.sh (http://www.dnid.de/cobalt/raqbackup/). Should work for you.

I have a script that tars any folder that you specify..

The script is written in PHP and you only need to specify what filename you want the tar to be and the folder you want to be tar'ed

IT can be used with cron to do a daily,weekly or monthly backup.


I myself use it to backup the entire server if you are interested in getting this let me know.
