michaelwl Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I need a mechanism I can use to quickly backup and recover while I'm busy developing and changing things on the site... My Service Provider can't help with something I can use my self... The only advice the guy could give was... : The best I can recommened is to get a script that run the command "tar czfv backup.tgz /var/www/vhosts/domainname/httpdcs/*" to zip up the contents, and another script to delete old files then extract those files again. What would the php look like to run the tar command above, and then from that I assume you'll do a similar script to delete made archives.... ? Thanks, I appreciate all the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
