New blog backup solution

Hello-

I was wondering if anybody has tried this new blog backup solution: BackupMyBlog. It looks like it should work for all PHP/My SQL blogs, but I have been unable to set it up because of some strange pathing error. If anybody gets this working with Textpattern, please let me know.

What do you folks use for backup?

If you are in textdrive you can use <a href=“http://help.textdrive.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=113”>this</a> script. Maybe you can use it in other severs too if they offer you cron.

Re: New blog backup solution

I use Rob’s plugin to do it by hand, as well as the following CRON command:

/usr/local/bin/mysqldump --default-character-set=utf8 --user=username --password=password --quote-names --complete-insert --extended-insert --quick --compact --lock-tables=false --skip-add-locks --all-databases | gzip > /home/username/backup/`date "+%Y.%m.%d"`.gz
