all the talk today about database migration made me think to a related
issue.
Assume you have set up your site. It is very active, lots of
contributors, etc...
How do you back it up every night from the command line? I mean, say
you have a server running some distro Linux.
What and how do you save with a shell script in *one* tarball
my_spip_site_YYYMMDD.tar.gz, so that if the server crashes/burns/is
stolen, whatever, you buy a new PC, install the same packages, and
then from that one tarball (with as little *manual* intervention as
possible) the site goes online again?
How do you back it up every night from the command line?
Marco,
There was a discussion about this recently on the French Spip-user list
(startng on 25 May).
There is a script here: http://spip.japanim.net/sauvegarde.php
- but it is no longer maintained by the author. However, at least one person
says they use it without problems on Spip 1.7
but it is not yet "automated". And although I could get it to back up my
database, I could not restore the files it produced (it corrupted the whole
site and I had to reinstall from a Spip backup). I *think* the problem is
that it is not UTF-8 compatible - but I'm not sure.
If you make any progress on the subject, let us know!
