How to backup your linux VPS?

Marc0 · Jul 23, 2016

Hello, I want to create a bash script which allow me copy all files, directories, databases on my linux VPS. I found some ways online after trying other linux backup options which either sucked or required me to be the server administrator. I want to have an automatic way to backup files in schedule.

Hello,
you don't need a script for that, on linux you have rsync here

It will synchronize your files and it offer many settings

If you are using cPanel, Directadmin or Plesk, there is an option to allow you make full backup for your websites or you can choose custom backups. For example, you can backup just databases, usersnames or which websites do you want to backup.
When you do a fresh installation for your hosting panel on a new hosting, just restoring the files you made backups and you can use websites immediately.

I have to agree to virtubox, if you looking for file system level backups rsync in the way to go.
It can be automated with a cron job to do full and incremental backups.

I must accept virtubox, should you searching for file system level backup copies rsync in the manner to visit.

It may be automated having a cron job to complete full and incremental backup copies.
