rsync backup

[Kika]

The important parts of the first message:

I did the rsync backup modification in the RC6 backup script, because i had too many data for packing everything day by day (and maybe this will increase the lifetime of the HDDs). With this modification the first backup was 2 hours on my sytem (the gzip backup was much longer), but the second was only 7 minutes, because this script backup only the databases and the modificated files.

This script create a folder in the {$DOMAIN_DIR}/backups and syncronizing every file to it without the log and the phptmp.

The database backup will zipping with gzip (i like this, not the bzip2 ).

If you download this script and change the "ZIP" type to "rsync" in the ispcp.conf than this method will run. I didn't touch the other methods.

Don't forget: the recovery function in the admin panel doesn't works with this method, but you can access for each file via FTP. I think that this is a good backup method if the user overwrite his files and he would like to recover that.


positvie:
- not use lot of resources for long time
- easy file recovery via ftp (don't need unpack the backup)
- decrease the fragmentation
- maybe increase the HDDs lifetime

negative:
- use more disk spaces (because not zipped)
- lot of small file on the disk


If you have any idea than write that please
