managing user_backups

[cyberlux]

I lost my data that were on a reseller account. I moved to a vps. I now took 2 vps to be sure that my sites will be up all the time.

For now I am doing backups "by hands" saving each site on my computer, I would like to do a cron job between my 2 vps, I did not succeded to do that.

Could you tell me how to do that? I understand that it is possible by "manage user backups" but there is always something not working.

I did a search here but it was not the same, and I am not "computer litterated"

Thank you for you help, sorry for my english.

You can use the backup command to ftp the backup to a specific location where you have ftp rights.

Then you'd need to create a cronjob to place the backup into the directory where you'll want it restored, and change the username to what it should be on the new server (it may not be the same).

Then you'll need to create a cronjob to do the restore.

I don't know what you'd need in the cronjob to do the restore; either search these forums or ask DA support.

You may need to be root to create cronjobs to successfully do the above.
