This weekend I ran into a situation where my T1 went down. Needless to say I wasn't a happy camper as the local telephone company refused to do anything about it because it was, of all things, raining out. Be that as it may, it got me to thinking. I have a T1 and I also have a 1.5 MEG DSL line. I host web sites on the T1 and manage everything using Webmin which I find is better than either Plesk or Ensim (but enough sucking up). Each night I also back up all the sites to another server in case anything goes wrong with the server I have a backup. However I have noticed that if and when you need to restore the file it is in a sort of zipped fashion. So what I would like to do is have each web site backed up to another server that has it's own DNS server and if that server's bind is actually turned on the sites go live. Is there are way to do this where I don;t have to manually restore the sites, but rather it transfers into place, with associated MySQL databases and all? Thanks |

The more I look at the way this is setup it should be an easy thing to do if there was a Scheduled Restore option, which I don't see. So I guess this would go on the wish list? ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "Vern" <ve...@cw...> To: "Webmin List" <web...@li...> Sent: Sun, 9 Oct 2005 14:57:21 -0400 Subject: [webmin-l] Backup Idea > This weekend I ran into a situation where my T1 went down.

Hi Vern, If you are just looking for a way to restore a Virtualmin backup automatically, take a look at the restore-domain.pl script in the virtual-server directory under the Webmin root. It does exactly the same thing as the restore form in the web interface, but could be run from a script if needed.. - Jamie On Mon, 2005-10-10 at 05:11, Vern wrote: > The more I look at the way this is setup it should be an easy thing to do if there was > a Scheduled Restore option, which I don't see.
