Hello

i need to do remote backup of my servers, i already do daily backup on the same machines but i have get a new box to do monthly backup of all my boxs, how can i do?

thx

I would suggest looking at rsync if you are using a unix type os.

http://www.hmug.org/man/1/rsync.html

i think if you have cpanel , everything will be easy with remote ftp Backup option in WHM .

You can also securely transfer backups to the remote server:


#first we tar up our CPanel backups directory;
nice tar -c /backup > /root/backup.tar;

#now we securely copy over the tar file;
scp /root/backup.tar someuser@remoteserver.com:/home/someuser/backup.tar

and then enter the 'someuser' account's password at the prompt.


Make sure CPanel backups go to /backup directory as in this case.

nice, but how can make it auto , like every 4 days .

rsync has the ability to use ssh as its communication agent, so it would safe a time-taking step in the first tar you suggested.

Interesting....

I wonder if there is any method that you could suggest
for people like me that don´t have yet a server but several
Cpanel reseller accounts.

I know that backups use to be processor intensive tasks, so
this could be troublesome.

They still are intensive tasks the way that cpanel does them.

theres a how to listed at EV1 forums I just use a another providers space to back up to
