Hi,
Having survived 2 Catastrofic Joomla failures in the past two weeks due to wierd bugs and a ftp freak error from hell I am now developing my own backup system.
Since I am over the file limit for my hosting solutions weekly backups I am now taking matters into my own hands.
Here is what I need.
I need the ability to run
automated backups on
defined by me folders that will be packaged into one compressed file .tar preferably and then sent to an offsite file server.
T
he date of the backup will also be added into the filename of the output compressed file.
From what I see so far from Xclone it is the answer to the backup solution I am looking for were the other half is finding a good large file server that is highly affordable.
The idea is to have a self contained easy to backup easy to restore system that runs without my direct involvement.
Questions related to Xclone:
I tried finding how to documents on how to set it up properly, I couldn't find any.
- How do I set it up properly?
- How do I define the catalogs and files I want to be backed up everyday?
- How do I set when the backups will occur and on a daily basis?
- How do I define the extra added date in the file name?
- How do I set up the file transfer of the selected file?
- How do I create the Cron job (I'm guessing it will be needed)?
- I have hosting through hostgator and they use cPanel.
I have already installed the Xcloner trial version but I haven't found any price for the non trial version for joomla. I am running joomla 1.5.8 at the moment with plugins such as Virtuemart 1.1.3, Community Builder 1.2 and JACL Pro and Fireboard.
I am very grateful for any and all helpful responses.
