DATABASE and WEBSITE Backups

Hi Servage

We wanna secure our sites to avoid dataloss. Would it be possible to setup a regular cronjob to move all our databases / or each one by itself via CRONJOB to another webspace which is NOT Clustered and Backuped. i.e. IMHOSTED is providing 2 TERRABYTE in Webspace for 6.95$ and they have a very good Backup Startegy and can restore all data on their sites even after a month as they are backuping their system regularly itself.

The idea is to setup a cronjob which does a backup from the database and also transfers this backup to IMHOSTED space. Here we could store tons of Backups :-)

The same we wanna do on a regular base for our website itself to secure also all Files/Pages stored in one Branch. As SERVAGE HOSTING isn't offering backupping we could create a cronjob which first packs the complete branch and then transfers it to IMHOSTED on a regular basis.

How does those two CRONJOB needs to looklike (in working Syntax) at SERVAGE HOSTING

Hello Andreas,

Sorry, we don't have any backup server where you can dump your data and MySQl backups. Also it is not possible to have cronjob do regular backup of your DB from your control panel.


Kind regards,
