ThomLSA

Hello, i got a vps at Ramnode, but i need a backup solution/sotware.
That makes backups to my Backups vps.

Please recommend me a good one!

BorgBackup, and this is Linux, most of the cool things don't have GUI's. :P

rsync + cron.

This needs agent-forwarding and a private key in root's /root/.ssh folder. I'm yet to google again how I did setup this up my digitalocean server.

mkdir /root/bak

#!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/root/job
#mysql dump
filename=`date '+%m%d%y'`
cd /root/bak
mysqldump db1 > ${filename}db1.sql
mysqldump db2 > ${filename}db2.sql
tar cvzf - ${filename}db.tar.gz ${filename}db1.sql ${filename}db2.sql | openssl des3 -salt -k 'mypassword' | dd of=${filename}db.tar.gz
tar cvzf - ${filename}webserver.tar.gz /path/to/website/files/* | openssl des3 -salt -k 'mypassword' | dd of=${filename}webserver.tar.gz
tar cvzf - ${filename}webserverlogs.tar.gz /path/to/website/logs/* | openssl des3 -salt -k 'mypassword' | dd of=${filename}webserverlogs.tar.gz
tar cvzf - ${filename}varlog.tar.gz /var/log/* | openssl des3 -salt -k 'mypassword' | dd of=${filename}varlog.tar.gz
#backup server 1 /usr/bin/rsync -avzHx --delete --stats --progress --exclude-from '/path/to/rsync-exclude.txt' -e "ssh -2 -p 22"  /root/bak [email protected]:/home/backupuser/backups

rm -f *.sql
rm -f *.tar.gz

@Mikho 's script then can be used to decrypt your openssl encrypted .tar.gz files

dd if=backupofwhatever.tar.gz |openssl des3 -d -k 'mypassword' |tar xvz

I left his 'f' off from tar as it was giving me errors.
Set this shit up on cron and you can go to town.

root@server:$ crontab -e
...
0 0 * * * /root/job/backup.job

You can test parts of the script always with bash backup.job or whatever to make sure it works.

why not use GPG?

Duplicity.

Self-promotion, but Duplicity is really easy to set up and it works very well: https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/Website-and-database-backup-with-Duplicity.html

I've now got over a thousand servers running Duplicity every night doing backups, and it hasn't failed on me once. However, I still do monthly restore testing and monitoring just to be sure.

Regarding the (web) UI you might try Duplicati: http://www.duplicati.com/
Used version 2.* some time ago and was pretty happy.
