Hello again! Just a suggestion, but you might consider calling each CPU-intensive activity with nice, and giving the user the option to set the value. It’s not particularly useful on a single-site host, but on a shared box it would be quite appropriate I think. Something like this perhaps:

NiceValue=”10″

…

(nice -n $NiceValue tar –no-recursion -zcf “$BackupDir/$BackupTarballName” . –recursion $SubDirs)

Okay, phpmyadmin was my main worry anyway.
Thanks!

It supports phpmyadmin. It comes with it but I have my own preferred flavor installed.
Fantastico I think requires cPanel which 1and1 doesn’t run. So I think the answer is no.

Say, does 1and1 support fantastico and PHPmyadmin?

Actually it appears to have been a permission issue on my server. Not something I’d changed, but with the permissions set the correct way, the script runs fine again.

Weird. I get the following error :

cp: cannot open `/home/rod/public_html/wp-content/rtdn-backup/2007-09-25-08-20-34-full.tar.gz’ for reading: Permission denied

This started with the upgrade to 2.3, and while that .gz file exists, I cannot change its mode (currently 600) or delete it. Permission denied to do either.

Brian – keep up the good work with this script. At last count I’m using your script to keep 26 sites current. To say the least, I am deeply grateful for your script. Thank you.

Brian — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 05:16:06 +0000

Yep, it is tested and working well.

Now that I know a good bit more about scripting than I ever had before, I will be doing an update of this script.

The WordPress installation process has come a ways, but because this script does the whole procedure of backing up both files AND database, it still has place.

I get a lot of comfort out of knowing that all of my sites are backed up and cleaned on a regular basis.

Rod – the script works for 2.3.x.

Well, it didn’t break anything for me, anyway.

Brian,

Any chance that this script might be tweaked for the 2.3 version of WordPress?
