Run a command after a finished Backup

[asturmas]

Hi guys,

I want to run a rsync command or sh file (as you wish) to backup all the data that's in the /backup dir after cpbackup has finished. Another thing I would ask for an adive of a good rsync -(strings) command. Because I'm a bit confused.

Regards

You would need to provide more detail for your task.

Are you syncing to a different machine or other directory. Is the other machine on a lan etc etc..

Provide more detail.

Hi,

If you want you can run a script to take complete back up of all the accounts in your server and then rsync it to the destination server.For rysnc you can use the following syntax

rsync --progress -e 'ssh -p portnumber' <source> <destination>

eg:rsync --progress -e 'ssh -p 7277' /backup 192.168.0.150:/cpbackup

Cheers

Hi,

The machine is in the LAN network. Connected with a 1gbit CrossOver cable. I want to edit "cpbackup" file to make him do a rsync command.

There may be a way to do it within cpbackup, but I'm not sure there is.

One easy way to do it though is to add your second command onto the end of the cpbackup line in crontab.

ie: crontab -e -- old line:

0 1 * * * /scripts/cpbackup

-- new line:

0 1 * * * /scripts/cpbackup; /usr/local/bin/my_rsync

No, any change in that file will be overwritten at next cpanel update.
You can add any command in /scripts/postcpbackup Create it if does not exists and set execute permission.
