Backup, what do you use? March 15, 2015, 03:29:12 pm Just curious to know what kind of solution do you guys use to make regular backups of your forum (database and files)
Re: Backup, what do you use? Reply #1 – March 15, 2015, 04:10:17 pm It's a long time I don't do a backup... emanuele runsUsually I use phpmyadmin (also because I have few scripts to backup) and ftp.
Re: Backup, what do you use? Reply #2 – March 15, 2015, 04:19:42 pm I use amazon s3 storage.I have a cron job runs on the sites, saves everyday for the past two weeks (14 backups), every saturday for the past 2 months (8 or 9 backups), first day of the month going back forever if you want. This does both a backup of my database and site files.Pretty much this script https://github.com/ianneub/php_backup_s3 with some tweaks I needed.Costs about $1.60 (with tax) a month with my usage which is ~50G a month. Could also use Glacier storage which is even less expensive, just has a delay in getting the data back (where as s3 you can select a recovery point and get the file)

A managed vps in Italy is not so cheap. My hosting is offering a daily backup, so only the "backup of yesterday" is availble. I should find some alernatives.On joomla I use Akeeba Backup since years and does a good job. All their products works out of the box. I think I will try the Akeeba solo version. I have a Box.net account with 50GB that I don't use, so I think it would be cheaper for mehttps://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/akeeba-solo.htmlp.s. interesting the solution spuds posted

I just noticed my shared also offers SSH support, now I try to backup using putty

Re: Backup, what do you use? Reply #7 – June 02, 2015, 05:38:11 pm I'm testing what may look like a cheap solution. LOLI'm trying to use google drive for the backups, I found a couple of solutions that allow to manipulate (to a certain extent) files from the CLI (and so from cron jobs) on linux:http://www.webupd8.org/2014/09/gdrive-simple-google-drive-cli-client.htmlhttp://www.webupd8.org/2013/09/mount-google-drive-in-linux-with-google.htmlI'm using the first at the moment.And to delete the old backups I'm testing out google-apps-script:https://developers.google.com/apps-script/When everything is properly in place I'll push somewhere the relevant code if anyone is interested.
