customize backup script

[mehargags]

Hi,
Can anyone help me customize or create a new Backup script that only:

1. Backs up domain/public_html/ from $user/web directory recursively
2. The Databases

and create a tarball of it

Don't need any user directories or vesta Specific Configuration backup.

Don't need any user directories or vesta Specific Configuration backup.

So much wasted space?
Remember, about restore too... if custome backup, then you need custom restore ;-(

Yes no problems... I can always restore manually from the tarballs... vestaCP doesn't restore backups well for me either way.

All I just need is site files + DB only

Any progress on this case? I need to customize backup too.

Current backup script does not follow symbolic links, so my backups are not complete. Here is my file structure:

/home/admin/web/site1 - has only several files and a symbolic link
/home/admin/web/site1/public_html --> /home/admin/web/template1
/home/admin/web/site2 - has only several files and a symbolic link
/home/admin/web/site2/public_html --> /home/admin/web/template1
/home/admin/web/site3 - has only several files and a symbolic link
/home/admin/web/site3/public_html --> /home/admin/web/template1
/home/admin/web/site4 - has only several files and a symbolic link
/home/admin/web/site4/public_html --> /home/admin/web/template2
/home/admin/web/site4 - has only several files and a symbolic link
/home/admin/web/site4/public_html --> /home/admin/web/template2
/home/admin/web/template1 - has a lot of files
/home/admin/web/template2 - has a lot of files

Current backup script only backs up /home/admin/web/site* directories and does not backup /home/admin/web/template* directories. How can I make it backup /home/admin/web/template* directories too?

Thanks

I'm getting it made myself with the help of another forum member dpeca, lets see if it goes well!

I found a workaround. I moved template files to /home/admin/template from /home/admin/web/template. Now template files backed up.

* UPDATED to v0.2 *

This will backup files from ALL websites in VestaCP (each of them as separated archive), and put tar file in /backup/manual/ folder as domain.com-YYYY-MM-DD.tar(.gz)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# Options:

backup_folder=/backup/manual

compress=0

exclude="--exclude='*/tmp/*' --exclude='*/temp/*' --exclude='*/log/*' --exclude='*/logs/*' --exclude='*/session/*' --exclude='*/sessions/*' --exclude='*/cache/*' --exclude='*/caches/*'"

use_absolute_full_path=1

backup_public_html=1
backup_public_shtml=0

Thanks Skurudo for liking this and putting it as feature request... Sometimes all you need is a lean-mean Website dump only to quickly migrate to a new server or give the client his/her data. Will save alot of time!
