Generating own backups
| Posted by 2freehosting, 08-17-2011, 04:01 PM |
| Hi,
Recently I'm experiencing huge problems with cPanel backup as it takes too long to backup and overloads the server.
The question is, maybe some of you are using own created backup scripts to do the job?
As what I am looking for is a script which could do the following:
1. Backup accounts only with less than 3GB (or any other value) of disk space. Also, skip the big files from backup up (lets say over 100MB)
2. Skip biggest accounts so they will not be scanned next time
3. Backup public_html folder, and mysql separately. (maybe 2 scripts, one for files and one for MySQL)
4. Check server load and sleep for a while if load is getting high.
That is about all. For now I have 2 options, create the script on my own, or ask here, so let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks!

| Are you doing uncompressed backups? Generally that is enough for most people to get past problems with the backups. I would imagine most of those large files are pretty static and don't get changed all that often.

| Script seems to be your best solution.

| Yes, backups should be generated uncompressed. Maybe you do have any solution for this?
