    Our server should be shut down for some unknown reason. So we should find a way to backup and download ENTIRE server on to our local machine. How could i do this?

    Thanks for your help!
    1. I saw a folder called /backup, but the size of this folder is around 20G, how could i download it on my local machine?
    2. If i want to use another server later, i just need to upload this folder to new server and then restore?

    If you are having secure shell login software then you can do it from Option "New File tranfer window"

    I have "ssh", but it seems impossible to download 20G(it will take a long time). And i have to download it from beginnig if the connection is broken. Also it will take another long time to upload it again to the new server.

    you can tar files per letter:

    here is instructions:

    cd /backup/cpbackup/

    #create ftpbackup folder
    mkdir ftpbackup

    #go to your daily backups
    cd /backup/cpbackup/daily

    #tar files per letter
    tar cvzf /backup/cpbackup/ftpbackup/abc.tar a*tar.gz b*tar.gz c*tar.gz

    #next d e f g letters
    tar cvzf /backup/cpbackup/ftpbackup/defg.tar d* e*tar.gz f* g*tar.gz

    and so on....

    and last go to your new server and use wget command to get your backups

    good luck!

    bye, SC

    your say:

    "take another long time to upload it again to the new server"

    when you make backup transfers, you dont need to download backups local to yoor comp.

    You can use wget and pickup backup from old server directly to your new server.
    (and this is fastest option).

    bye, SC

    Thanks for your reminder. Actually i know that i can transfer it using whm. I am trying to download it on local computer just in case our server is down and we may not login it again.
