How to snapshot/backup Centos 6.5? Anyone have scripts? [Dedibox kidéchire 1,99 €]

aFriend

Any experts create scripts to perform individual full system backup/restore specifically for this Dedibox kidéchire setup (centos 6.5) - perhaps utilizing their ftp or other remote ssh to save/retrieve custom image? Github contrib perhaps?

(even more ultimate script would also utilize the online.net API to re-install OS). Since many folks are going to use this for testing scenarios, I imagine this not being too far off many people's wish list. Do chime in with +1 if you too wish for this.

I'm not good at such OS level scripts so I am wishing for help.

What about http://freevps.us/thread-9623.html or http://freevps.us/thread-9614.html

Take a look.

I use this for backup, it's a python script that is easy to use, configurable and can backup system, database then upload it to a variety of places (I am backing up to Online.net free FTP).

You can make a bash script doing something like this:

tar -zcvpf /backups/fullbackup.tar.gz --directory=/ --exclude=proc --exclude=sys --exclude=dev/pts --exclude=backups .

Then rsync the created backup file to your backup ftp / sftp
