Backup?
This script works really nice for transferring data between WordPress installations. Is there also an example for using this script for backing up to tar/gzip, ideally incrementally (important for the uploads files), with date/time stamps? I plan to run the script in regular intervals for automated site backups (from production site which holds the authoritative data).
Yeah that would be good. Rsynch could probably be used for that. A lot on my plate though so not sure when I will have time to add the necessary commands to work on that..
@jasperf: This tool uses mysql dump + rsync for dumping the mysql database contents and transferring it together with the uploaded files. If the script could be modified to just pull these files into a directory or into a tar.gzip, or even to leverage the rsync incremental backup feature.
Rsync should perform incremental backups by default. If you want to automate these backups you can read about that at https://www.maketecheasier.com/make-incremental-backups-with-rsync/ . And it uses compression using the -z in rsynch -az: -z, --compress compress file data during the transfer for transfer. Perhaps we could work on a piped command to gzip on the destination machine though.
@jasperf: Any news? This would be a great addition, also for automated remote backups with versioning. 🦄
Been really busy working on Stedding - Ansible playbooks for Laravel LEMP Stack. If you have a suggested implementation @strarsis please do a PR. Thanks!
