Automated site backups #2

Open jbedder opened 12 years ago

jbedder commented 12 years ago

I will need SSH access before I can set up git. GoDaddy has a cron interface which alleviates the need to go through SSH to set up mysql dumps. I'd like to explore the option of dumping the data to a remote machine - perhaps one of your computers in New York but to do that I'll need your ip and most likely some authentication.

In the meantime I'll be loading a current data dump on google docs. You can download it from https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0BxN2kYuvMdsmMDQxYmMxMDEtYmY5Mi00YjA2LWFlN2EtOTZhNDFiZmNiMmRj&hl=en_US for now. No preview since it's basically gibberish until it's imported into a db engine.

Apparently the DB is already being auto-backed-up and the backups are cleaned up every so often. That's at least what crontab is telling me. I think we'll want to look at remote backup as the next step though.

The automated data backups (SQL dumps) are back in place. Still need ssh access to link the site to the repository.
