megetron Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hi, is there a good tool to backup database/files on a daily/hourly manner? seems like this is not supported with phpmyadmin...si i guess a cron job application is needed.

freelance84 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I did some research on this a while ago. It depends who your host is as a lot offer this service already. If you have a dedicated server or cloud some even offer auto imaging features which backs up everything all in one. Failing that, for your database, i researched a few. MySql dumper claimed to be able to handle very large database backups by splitting... but if your db isn't mamouth size you could just start with a cron job on a php file which mysqldump. Try something along the lines of this http://webconfiguration.blogspot.com/2012/04/simple-database-backup.html I got this up and running on a ubuntu server with root access, but then i just decided to go with my hosts product after a while. They keep backups of backups so is saver. I'm sure you could do reconfigure the script in the above link to utilize the copy funciton, and even send the files away to another server too..
