Continous Backup Automation

[oeconom]

Hi community,

I'm looking for the best way to backup my phpwcms-site(s) in an automated way. For the MySQL Part I fond a solution: mysqldumper
You can manually backup or schedule DB-backups (via cronjobs), send them by email, upload them to any ftp server. Great!

I'm looking for something similar for the installation files.
Anyone recommendations for a solution here?

Thanks,
FELIX

Hallo Felix,

I was also searching a long time for a continous backup automation for the files of my webspace, since it takes a long time, to download every single file by ftp.

Yesterday I found a creat backup solution (php, compresses the files by zip) which is in german language only, but prepared for mulit-language use.

Back your Space up
Here the features (in german - perhaps someone can translate better than I):
* Komplette Homepage innerhalb weniger Minuten sichern
* Praktisch kein freier Webspace nötig (zip-Archive)
* Inkrementelle Backups möglich
* Verzeichnisse können einfach ausgeschlossen werden
* Praktisch ohne Grundkenntnisse verwendbar, aber trotzdem viele Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten
* Ausser PHP keine Serveranforderungen
* Besonders geeignet für Anwender mit langsamer Internetanbindung
* Backups können auf dem Server archiviert werden

I have tested the script and it works with almost no complicated special settings - it's realy great!

If somehone helps the developer of this backup script, (from Suisse, speaks german) it can be a great tool also for other people and languages

Hi Ralf,

thank's for this hint, sounds very promising.
But it sounds as it isn't developed any further, that would be too bad...
I'll give it a try and have a look if it will serve my needs.

Best wishes,
Felix
