automatic backup

[inject0r]

Hi, are there any ways to backup my sites.

I have one site with cpanel which needs to be daily back up'd and uploaded to a ftp backup server.

Same thing for my second site, but the second one runs totally without any panels, only apache and php.

cheers

Well , i can tell about backup , but the uploads should be done manually i guess .

For SQL Backup :

mysqldump --add-drop-table -u username -p tablename > /location/backupfilename.sql

For Site :

Go to your site folder and then

tar -vcf yourbackupfilename.tar

Yup. WP and IPB. @Bharat; like a cron?

if you have access to SSH on your server you can use this method:

or if you don't have SSH, but you have PHP exec enabled on your server you can write a simple php script to run that bash script then put it on crontab
