How to Create Back Up Copy of Your Site Regularly

Submitted by Aleksey on April 7, 2011 – 4:40 pmNo Comment

In this article, I would tell you in short how to regularly create a back up copy of the whole site.

Solution:

You can create back up copy of the database only or back up copy of database and files.

Database backup copy

mysqldump –quick -uUSER -hHOST -p’PASSWORD’ DATABASE | gzip -c > /FULL PATH TO FILE /SITENAME_sql.gz >/dev/null 2>&1

Files backup copy

tar -czvf /FULL PATH TO FILE/SITENAME_files.tar.gz /FULL PATH TO WEB SERVER ROOT/public_html/* >/dev/null 2>&1

Cancel output of information about execution and sending email

If you add ">/dev/null 2>&1" to the end of the command, you will cancel output of information in the time of execution and sending email with a completion report to the main domain address.
