Install it on your own

Please follow the instructions on this page. This page generates some lines of code which you'll have to execute on your source RaQ - so there is no normal download procedure. But don't worry, you will see that it is very easy to setup raqbackup.sh

Since raqbackup.sh uses FTP to transfer the backup to another server you'll have to configure two servers. The source machine has to be a RaQ but the target machine can be any server with FTP-access.

target machine
1. create an user with FTP-access on the target machine. You can use the username backup if you like.
2. be sure to give this user a lot of quota (a minimum of 2 GB per source RaQ seems to be a good value)
3. if you like create a special directory where raqbackup.sh should store the backup files. raqbackup.sh will create a directory under this directory with the hostname of the source RaQ. If you don't specify a special directory raqbackup.sh uses the start-directory of the ftp-session. If the target machine is a RaQ and the ftp-user is backup raqbackup.sh will store the files under /home/sites/site/users/backup/hostname.of.source/

source RaQ

please download the recommended version of Jeff Bilicki's CMU (see our table Cobalt Migration Utility) and install it on your RaQ (use the server administration of your RaQ).

You are now able to customize raqbackup.sh to your needs. What you type is secret - you don't have to submit it to us or to other servers. It is used to generate some commands in the textarea-field at the bottom of the page with the JavaScript-feature of your browser.

What do you want to backup?

WHAT do you want to backup?
Backup sites and users with CMU	Do you want to use CMU to backup site and user data? yes no
	Do you want to exclude a directory from being cmuExported? yes no raqbackup.sh moves the complete directory to a secure place before it starts cmuExport and moves it back to the original place after the end of cmuExport. Please never exclude any important system-directory!
	Do you want to compress the several xml-files to a single archive? yes no
	Location of cmuExport:
	CMU-directory:
Backup MySQL-databases	Do you want to backup mysql-databases? yes no
	Location of mysqldump: Do a locate mysqldump to be sure the path is correct. You'll need MySQL 3.23.x or newer!
	MySQL user: usually this is the MySQL user root. This is not the same user as your system user root. Both users should have different passwords for security reasons.
	Password of this user: this is the passoword of the MySQL user above.
	Do you want to compress the resulting sql-file? yes no
Backup other directories	Do you want to backup any additional directories? yes no
Backup other directories	directories: /etc/named Each directory in a new line, please. raqbackup.sh will backup the specified dirs and their subdirectories.

Where should raqbackup.sh store the backup?

Locations to store the backup
Store on source RaQ	Do you want to store the backup on the source RaQ? yes no This backup would be stored under /home/raqbackup/data. If you have enough diskspace it's a good idea to activate this option.
FTP to another server	Do you want to transfer the backup to another server? yes no
	Hostname or ip-address of target machine
	FTP-user on target machine
	Password of this user
	Target directory e.g. /home/backup - leave blank if raqbackup.sh should use the initial directory of the ftp-session (where it will create a directory hostname.of.source)
	Port for FTP if you don't use the standard-port (which is 21)

SSH or telnet to your source RaQ, login and su to root
copy the following text to your clipboard and paste it into your Telnet/SSH-client. These commands download the script from our server and replace default-values with the values you entered above.
If you have JavaScript enabled and you changed something above, you should see some lines of code here - and NOT this text ;-) But if you like you can get the script from http://www.neuhaus-internet.de/scripts/raqbackup32f.sh and modify it yourself.
That's it. raqbackup.sh is installed and configured. If you want to start it manually, SSH or telnet to your RaQ, change to the installation-directory and execute raqbackup.sh with the screen-parameter: ./raqbackup.sh screen
