Backup

[shalako]

Just installed the latest update which comes with Backup Utility. However, I don't see any new icon in the main Administrative page.

I need to schedule FULL plesk backups (server config, clients, domains, email, databases, etc) and put them on another machine via FTP (or SSH ideally). Is my only option for full backups still pleskbackup? I've read on this forum about people doing it with Backup Manager; but it seems like that only one domain at a time. How do you do it for all domains? (and get the plesk config too?)

Thanks in advance. Hope someone can clear this up.

Hey, thanks for the reply!

I appreciate your method, but I don't think I've got room locally for the psabackup files.

I just read about how to mount a remote filesystem via sshfs-fuse. I'll set up passphraseless keys and have a cronjob call the nightly pleskbackup and write it directly to this mount. Cool!

I'm wondering how to maintain the connection or if the script should mount, backup, then unmount. I think the latter, now that I'm writing this.

Here's a great tutorial:

Thanks again for the reply; you never know if you're going to get any help from the boards.
