Website backup question

Question

Backup

Tell me, how to backup my website files from paid hosting to local host?

Answer 1

As a rule, the hosting control panel has a toolkit for creating backups, which can be successfully copied to your computer and deployed locally. However, I prefer to fold files manually and unload them as an archive, similarly, the database can be folded through phpmyadmin.

Answer 2

If the site is running on some CMS, look for a plugin for automatic backup. For example, for Wordpress there is a plugin that can schedule database backups and send them to the mail.
And, as mentioned above, the ability to make backups should be in the hosting control panel (there is definitely in DirectAdmin).

Answer 3

Ask the hoster, many hosters make a database dump and file archive at the request of the client.
In general, all you need is files that can be downloaded via FTP, SSH or a hosting control panel and a base dump, which can be done from many hosting control panels or from phpmyadmin (almost all hosters also have it).

Answer 4

First, find a hosting with ssh.
Then read the article debian.pro/330 to do mysql dumps.
Then read about rsync (the usual rsync -avz --progress remote local should be enough, but still).
Usually this is enough.
Oh yes, for those who come running now to shout that hosting with ssh is impossible to find (stupid, expensive, uninteresting, impossible) - you can pass by. Yes, cheap hosting (30 rubles for anlim or something like that) is unlikely to be found. But at the average Russian cost for high-quality hosting - quite. Of course, I know where, of course, I will not promote, blah blah blah.

Answer 6

Platform dependent.
For example, if you can connect directly to SQL Server, you can generate scripts with a data structure and directly with data. Perhaps the host will need to be asked to open access to the database on a specific IP.

Answer 7

I recommend Sypex Dumper .
