I am curious as to what backup solutions people are using on Plesk with freeBSD

On Sundays we make a full-backup like this:

http://faq.oneandone.co.uk/server/root_server/7.html

In addition we backup the hostings like this:

LOGFILE=/home/backup/logs/domainbackup_$(date +'%Y%m%d_%H%M').log
FILE=domainbackup_$(date +'%Y%m%d_%H%M').tar
DATE=$(date +'%Y%m%d_%H%M')


cd /home/httpd/vhosts/

echo "*** Creating Single-Backups ***" >> $LOGFILE

for file in $( ls -xA1d * ); do
        if [ -d ${file} ]
        then
                du $file --max-depth=0 >> $LOGFILE
                echo "Saving " $file
                tar -czf $file.tar.gz $file >>$LOGFILE
        fi
done

cd /var/lib/mysql

for database in $( ls -xA1d *); do
        if [ -d ${database} ]
        then
                du $database --max-depth=0 >> $LOGFILE
                echo "Dumping databases " $database
                mysqldump -uadmin -p*** $database > $database.sql
                tar -czf $database.sql.tar.gz $database.sql >>$LOGFILE
        fi
done

btw.: Datasheet is a script of us, wich prints out the passwords of a domain for plesk/mail/ftp, etc. If someone wants to try it out...

I favor using 4PSA's Total Backup, and where possible Acronis.
