backup solution

[venator]

Hi, servers with clients during creating backup have to high load and do this too long... I must find another way to create backup.

In "Configure Backup" i have founded this option:

"Incremental backup (only backup what has changed. (**No Compression**, not compatible w/ftp backups)"

This option work correct? Can i copy this catalog to another server and restore this backup using cPanel??

Thanks for help

hi

i usually let cpbackup configured to weekly (not incremental) basis

so everytime i need to run the backup i use ssh to rm -rf /home/cpbackuptmp

and then /scripts/cpbackup

if your server is overloading during the backup it sounds like another issue such as low memory (try to upgrade it) or some process is consuming a lot, maybe exim or your AV if you are receiving many smpt spam or attacks,

rsync is another secure solution to backups but i think cpanel backup is simple and to a regular user it fits well (if you can program in perl or python you can use rsync to create a new script)

good luck

But i need do backup every day.

Resaon of high load are clients with 2 GB hundreds files...

rsync is good but it is not compatible with cpanel restore backup (isnt it?).

I must only know this option work good (is compatible) with cpanel restore backups:
"Incremental backup (only backup what has changed. (**No Compression**, not compatible w/ftp backups)"

So if this create in backups folder "user " can i move this to another server and restore like "user.tar.gz"?
