I have a WordPress install and I'm wonder what is generally best practice when it comes to back up. I'm asking here instead of WordPress.stackexchange as this question is not only a WordPress question but a general backup question.
Is it okay to NOT Backup files that won't change.
Using Duplicity I can make an incremental, efficient backup to an untrusted remote storage.
Hello....
I'd like to try archfs or rdiff-backup-fs (as I understand it's same) but can't figure the right command line.
I make (test) backup with command rdiff-backup in-dir out-dir changed/deleted some files and make backup again few times. I was able to find "lost" files but it's hard to do. archfs is a tool to make that easyer but I don't know how to set up.
I've tested a few of backup utilities and still haven't found one that would satisfy me.
Almost every one of them has two options:
- full backup - not an option to use frequently
- incremental backup - seems right, but there's one thing about it:
Incremental backup builds on a base of a full backup, backing up only those files, that were created/changed.
I'm trying to setup a backup script on Ubuntu. Every day I want to copy my local source directory to a backup directory on a remote server uniquely named with the date. (e.g., backup-jan1/, backup-jan2/, etc) It should store a mirror of the earliest state and use difference files to recreate the new backup points.
This is pretty simple with rsync.
Hi,
Maybe some of us will know all this, that how to automate openoffice to make backup copy of files. So its for those who like me mistakenly deleted/removed a file, or did not save it on time.
I had written a simple(maybe very simple) post about this process of enabling openoffice to make backup copies of your files.
We have a small relatively idle windows server 2008 R2 installation that does basic filesharing and exchange for about 10 not very active users.
When running a windows server backup, the incremental data daily is about 20GB. This is not coming from users shared files, nor from changes in their mailbox sizes.
Hi guys,
I want to make backup of files/directories and then restore it removing all present changes and new files and directories.
example: make /home backup and after time restore how it was before
How can I do it with command line: rsync, cp or with stomething else
Sorry for my english :(
Plain and simple: I need to make differential backup of my files without using the typical file attribute logic.
Possibly with a free software.
So the software I need should rely on it's own indexing logic to understand which files need do be backed up.
Currently I'm using Cobian backup for doing Full/differential backup.
I backup from/to disk installed in my PC.
