Site/folder Backup Php Script

[llama_thumper]

hi all,

 

have trawled the net for a simple backup php script that I can run using CRON but cannot find anything that suits my needs - i am no PHP expert but would like something fairly simple to modify - a script that can, via CRON, backup my public_html directory and save the result as a zip file.

 

aaaaaaaaaaany volunteers?

Apparenty you did not google for a script.

 

Here is one PHP backup script

i did, i did, but couldnt find a simple one - will try this one and see if i can get it to work, thanks!

 

one more question: when setting the time in cpanel for the cron job - what time zone is the server in/set to?

[TCH-Tim]

Eastern time. Right now EDT.

thanks!

right, i get these errors, eventhough the file is created fine, and i am able to unzip it once downloaded.

still, it would be nice to get a 'clean' cron execution message and not this messy one. can anyone hint me toward what might be causing this?:

 

tar: WysiwygPro: Cannot savedir: Permission denied

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

 

bunzip2: Control-C or similar caught, quitting.

bunzip2: Deleting output file BU_20060722.tar.bz2, if it exists.

mv: cannot stat `BU_20060722.tar.bz2': No such file or directory
