Adding incremental backups would be really cool. This tutorial shows how to do it using EC2 - http://www.freewisdom.org/photos/2008/09/17/backup_with_rsync Let me know if you figure something out that works!

You sir are awesome.

Thanks for the tutorial, it has made my life a lot easier and my websites a hell of a lot more safe. My only question I would propose onto of this already excellent howto is incremental .tgz files. If are running a website like me with lots of big media assets, you don’t want to be uploading 20+ gigs each time.

Thoughts how you could put this together?

Thanks

Bruce

Now if I can find something like this that can make incremental backups.

There probably is a way to backup just the changes to the database, but it was beyond the scope of what I was trying to do. From a storage space issue, the fact that this script backs up all of the files each day (regardless of if they’ve changed) might be more of an issue. Also, it could be designed to delete backups after a certain time period. If anyone tinkers with the code and has suggestions or solutions, please let me know.

backing up the whole database every night doesn’t seem very efficient. isn’t there any way to just back up the changes or otherwise establish some kind of version control?

The only mods I had to make were specific to my hosting environment. That, and I added in a couple variables so I could use a single reference point to backup all my sites. All in all, exactly what I was looking for.

Wow. I went googling for a tutorial on this and guess where I ended up.

Thanks for the guide! Seriously handy.
