(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This bash script backups the database and site. You must change some of the BASH VARIABLES but it should be easy. If you experience any problems just ask for help. You can create automatic backups as well with this. You must modify crontabs to do so.

Requirements

1. MySQL Server
   
2. tar and gzip
   

    

#!/bin/bash
