Hello all,
I currently have a Semi Dedicated Cpanel VPS and I am looking for some advice relating to perform backups.
In summary my site is made up of the following:
- Database backend
- Fixed files (i.e. never change)
- Dynamic files (i.e. user uploads (change every day)
I would like to perform two backups of the site:
- Daily:
Compressed single file backup of the DB and all dynamic files.
- Weekly:
Compressed single file backup of the DB, all dynamic files and all fixed files.
When the backup is performed (either daily or weekly) or would like to push the backup to a remote FTP server. I would also like the backups to rotate. By this I mean that daily backups older than 7 days are deleted, and weekly backups older than 30 days are deleted from both the remote server and local server.
If all that wasn't enough I also need to be able to execute a pre and post mysql backup php script (these will gracefully close the site during the backup and reopen afterwards)
The cherry ontop would be emailed logs.
So can anybody give me any advice as to the best way of achieving this or close to this?
EDIT: After much hunting around I have found the following script(s) which can be configure to do most of the stuff I need:

Any other suggestions?
EDIT 2:
Having said all this there is also the Virtuozzo panel image backups. Is it possible to download these are store them "offline"
