You can backup using the psadump, but this is quite slow, or you can backup using a shell script (there are a couple on this forum also). Another solution is 4PSA Total Backup, which is more advanced as it supports incremental backups and remote storage.

I would go with total backup with the tar method.....

This backup system has recovered my entire sitebuiler dbs after someone took a huge **** on my server.

My servers run my custom PSADump script twice a week.

 

[eWebtricity]

We use two scripts one to dump all the MySQL databases and one to tar the file system including the MySQL dumps and FTP it to another server every night.

see http://www.linux-backup.net for the file system script and http://sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/

OKeee...
So now i am using a script --> tar -cvzf Total_backup_03.10.2005.tar.gz /home/httpd/vhosts /var/lib/mysql /var/qmail/mailnames to backup the system. i was looking for PSADump but cant find it anyware.
Is this a standard plesk tool ore is it custom?

Sorry for asking but i am a newbie at plesk administrating.

(thanks for al the help so far )

when we try to execute the command

psadump -f /root/psa_backup/my_psa_backup_file --clients-ids-skip=/root/psa_backup/my_client_ids_file

it says :::
psadump : command not found

Any idea?

Here's what it looks like in my weekly cron job:

/usr/local/psa/bin/psadump -f backupfilename --nostop --nostop-domain

You can modify the above to include a client ID list file., which is what I do for my nightly backup.

This is essential reading:
