mike58Hello!
This is probably a little stupid question for some of you - but here we go anyway...;/
I´ve searched but haven´t found any comprehensive collection of cronjob-scripts online for wordpress.
I´m sure there are - but I have not found it.
If there is somewhere - I would appreciate that link.
The only thing I have found on several sites is the script for backup of the DB.
So that script I have - and it´s alright.
But it seems to me that if your site crash it will not always be necessary enough with a backup of just the DB.
Don´t you need wp-config.php also and maybe other files...?
You need all the custom files to be on the secure side.
How should one think here - when speaking of a backup on the server/same hostingaccount as the site is on...?
BUT...
I would like to create cron jobs for a couple of different backups -
which I want to put on the same hostingaccount as the site - in a directory above the public_html-level.
(or possibly FTP to another account)
I am talking about the Cpanel cronjobs.
It seems to me the best way to backup - to get it through Cpanel - rather than go through plugins.
But where is the scripts...??
CRONJOBS SEARCHING - FOR A SCRIPT.
............................................................
1. backup for a full and complete WordPress (everything - db, files - like a complete FTP-download
2 backup for WP-DB (that I have)
3. backup for wp-config.php
4. backup specifically for all custom files (not the corefiles)
(so I eventually can erase all wordpressfiles, install a new fresh WP - and insert the backup in to this)
5. backup of Home (as in Cpanel)
6. backup of forwarders, other DB:s, System filter info (as in Cpanel)
I imagine that it would be nice to have 2 backups - and then at the third backup - the oldest backup is deleted - when a newer backup is on it´s way in.
This is meant to be just a little something in case of the site goes down -
and it´s meant to be automatic backup.
Bigger backups - maybe with several revisions - could be FTP:d to another acount/server - or downloaded to the computor.
...or if someone here has another, better solution for automatic backups - please come forward.
Maybe it could be a nice collection of scripts in this thread -
that more than me could benefit of...
Best Wishes!
