Hi!

I just released version 3.0 of raqbackup.sh - a free script to backup site and user data, MySQL-databases and other content of your RaQ to another server.

further information and installation:

Best regards

I haven't used this script yet, but I want to thank you for your work on it. I know there are many others using it and I plan to follow suit soon.

I am using your script on all of our Raq servers. I dont know if you use Plesk or if you have access to a plesk server, but if you could write something like your raqbackup but for Plesk servers this would be cool. Plesk has a backup utility called psadump (the equivalent to CMU I guess), but it only makes backups for complete restores and I would need some script which backs up each domain path one by one (just like CMU does).
Let me know if you would like to give it a try.

no, unfurtunately i never used Plesk. Sorry

Daniel

Maybe I'll write something - I have experience with PlesK :)

If you write something that's as easy to use and setup as raqbackup.sh and as easy to restore from as it is, I'll freaking pay you for the script.

I'd gladly throw a few bucks your way for such a thing.

Me too :agree:

Anything coming up soon? :o

This is a start of what I've done I found the original on plesk's forums and modified the crap outta it, I'll be adding a lot more to this later (ftp backup, definable time limits for keeping the backups are two that pop into mind, and the ability NOT to backup email):
