Backup with tar - ServerOK

To backup a site using tar, i created a shell script.

mkdir /usr/serverok/
vi /usr/serverok/backup-daily.sh

With following content

#!/bin/bash

/bin/tar zcvhf /backup/daily/backup.tgz /home/serverok.in/public_html/

For weekly backup

cp /usr/serverok/backup-daily.sh /usr/serverok/backup-weekly.sh
sed -i 's/daily/weekly/g' /usr/serverok/backup-weekly.sh

Make it executable

chmod 755 /usr/serverok/backup-daily.sh
chmod 755 /usr/serverok/backup-weekly.sh

Create backup folders

mkdir  -p /backup/weekly
mkdir  -p /backup/daily

Set cronjob

crontab -e

Add

@weekly /usr/serverok/backup-weekly.sh  > /var/log/backup-weekly.log 2>&1
@daily /usr/serverok/backup-daily.sh  > /var/log/backup-daily.log 2>&1
