Short answer: Yes!

If you want to do that without modifying the script use a mount point which is over the network, samba, nfs, ssh, ftp, etc.
Another solution is to transfer the backed up files after the back-res script has done his job.

Hi,

I have another script with Differential backup for ISPConfig sites which I modified from oZimbraBackup script.

It provides full and differential backup for websource, full backup for all databases, upload backup to another server via ftp.

Hi go0ogl3,

I have 2 ISPConfig server named server1.test.com and mirror.test.com (which mirrors ISPConfig config from server1).

On the server1, I only backup these directories plus all databases dump:

File = "/etc"
File = "/root"
File = "/usr/local/ispconfig"
File = "/usr/share/phpmyadmin"
File = "/var/www"
File = "/var/log"
File = "/var/named"

I tried to exclude the /usr because it take so much space.
The ISPConfig on server1 can be successfully restored with the backup set I used.
After restored, server1 and mirror still replicates.
Can you check if we can safely exclude the /usr and some other directories from your backup script?

Tks,
Anh

I currently use Bacula to backup ISPconfig server. I can easily restore the ISPConfig configuration and websites without having to reconfigure the permission for sites.

Yes. You have to enter all the websites you wish to backup in
DIRECTORIES variable in the script. Example:

DIRECTORIES="/var/www/web1 /var/www/web2 /var/www/web3"

take care with the simlinks... tar backs up only the simlink, not the target content!

Hello,

If you can exclude the /usr it's only your decision. If you know you don't have anythin irrecuperable you can exclude as many directories as you like. For example I personnaly, if the space is tight, back up only the /etc, /www and the databases on some servers...
When it cames for the restore, I install the respective linux distribution, then restore the /etc /www and the databases over the fresh install.
Take care, if you have anything changed in other directories, you'll run into problems!
