http://forums.cpanel.net – Hi, I want to skip a user from backup and I think I can do this in WHM >> Main >> Backup >> Configure backup >> Select Specific Users. But the question is, if I will uncheck a user, so that backup can not be made for this user,Then the new account I make in future , will be automatically be add to backup script or not ? (i.e. I skip a user from backup then it will affects on new accounts or not ?) Please Reply (HowTos)

I want to backup the encrypted home of a user who might be logged in at backup time. Which directories should I backup if I want to ensure that absolutely no plaintext data can be leaked?

Hi, I just enabled WHM Back up and enabled this for a few Cpanel accounts.

I have to setup a backup strategy for a small Windows-only network, with no dedicated backup server. The criteria for the backup strategy are as follows:

Situation: Somehow the mysql.user table got emptied. No more root access, all websites that used the database (shared hosting) were down. Reason unknown.

I restored root password and access. So far so good.

Now I need to restore the users' accounts and privileges.

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.

I want a normal (no sudo) user to be able to backup /etc/ and their home directory using Deja Dup. Currently the home folder backup goes fine, but due to lack of permissions /etc does not get backed up.

Is there a way to create a new group, say 'backupers' add the user to it, and then edit visudo to allow the group 'backupers' to use Deja Dup to perform such backups?

Android Backup API 22 weeks 4 days ago

Can anyone explain what exactly the Android Backup API is used for?

I have read Using the Backup API and Data Backup from the Developer Docs, but it is still unclear to me.

When is data backed up & restored?

Specifically in these situations:

A user installs my app on Device 1, data is backed up, and the user then installs my app on Device 2.

Some folks do a manual backup, then they leave the big file, eg. backup-9.23.2012_18-55-42_user.tar.gz in their subweb, then later they do another manual backup....

I'm sure you get where I'm going here, each backup archive expands exponentially in size because it includes a backup, of the previous backup archive, of the previous backup archive, etc. etc.

Hi,

I'm running a shell script to do a daily backup of my mysql database. The backup is done using:

Code:   mysqldump db1 > db1.sql --user=rootuser --password=rootpassword &&  mysqldump db2 > db2.sql --user=rootuser --password=rootpassword This file is saved in my root directory replacing the old/exisiting backups.
