Backup

Hi,

How can I create a backup from the command line, my backups stops when I tried to build from the admin panel, so I need to do it manually.

Thanks for your help on this matter.

A mySQL backup, or a full site backup?

For mysql, try:

Code:
mysqldump --add-drop-table -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD DB_NAME > backup.sql

If you wanna do a full site backup, you can do:

Code:
cd /path/to/cgi-bin 
tar -cvvf backup_cgi.tar *

(if you hold stull like me in a www folder and cgi-bin folder, be sure to back them both up Wink

)

Cheers

Thank you Andy.

What kind of backup does the admin panel does? (Full site or just MySQL)?

Thanks

You mean when you do a "Build" ? All that does, is create a file in /admin/backup, which can be restored via the GLinks admin panel
