ISPConfig Backup Script

Hi guys,

I have created this little script to backup all the important files. Have I forgot something?

Code:

echo "";

echo "************************************";

echo "       ISPCONFIG BACKUP";

echo "************************************";

echo "";



echo "Wait a moment please...";



echo "1. Make a backup of /var/spool/mail";

/etc/init.d/postfix stop

cd /var/spool

tar -czf $ISPCONFIG/mail.tar.gz mail



echo "2. Copy the passwd file";

cp /etc/passwd $ISPCONFIG



echo "3. Copy the shadow file";

cp /etc/shadow $ISPCONFIG



echo "4. Copy the group files";

cp /etc/group $ISPCONFIG



echo "5. Copy the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file";

cp /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf $ISPCONFIG



echo "6. Copy the local-host-names file";

cp /etc/postfix/local-host-names $ISPCONFIG



echo "7. Copy the postfix/virtusertable file";

cp /etc/postfix/virtusertable $ISPCONFIG



echo "8. Copy the named.conf file";

cp /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf $ISPCONFIG



echo "9. Copy the proftpd.conf file";

cp /etc/proftpd.conf $ISPCONFIG



echo "10. Copy the proftpd_ispconfig.conf file";

cp /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf $ISPCONFIG



echo "11. Backup of the ISPConfig Databse";

mysqldump \

        -u$USER -p$PASSWORD -h$HOST \

        -Q -c -C --add-drop-table --add-locks --quick --lock-tables \

        db_ispconfig | gzip --best -c > $ISPCONFIG/db_ispconfig.sql.gz;





echo "Restart Postfix"

/etc/init.d/postfix start

Regards.

This is for Fedora/CentOS, right? A few paths are different on Debian/Ubuntu.

yes it is.
we are using CentoS 5.2.

any suggestion?

For CentOS and Fedora, your script looks good. On Debian and Ubuntu, the paths to Vhosts_ispconfig.conf and named.conf are a bit different.

Infact I have CentOs.
The question is another: Have I forgot something to backup?

Yes, the web sites in /var/www.

I would like to move my server to the newer version of ISP Config3. Which are the files that have I save from the old ISP Config2 server to move to ISP Config3?

thanks

You cannot upgrade from ISPConfig 2 to 3. The setups are totally different.

Hi falko,

thanks for your reply is there a way to hide the upgrading from 2 to 3.0 to the users. I mean that all the parameters can remain the same to avoid the re-configuration of the clients?

thanks

It's not possible to upgrade from ISPConfig 2 to 3.
