    How To Backup Home Directory

    300.000 Free softwares download here
    Hi.



    I have a dedicated server with a specialist application that is installed in the /home directory. It is probably quite large in the region of a couple of gig.



    I have root access via SSH. I have been using PUTTY and WINSCP to administer this server.

    My question is how do I make a backup of my home directory and the entire contents ?

    What are the commands for this using putty ?



    When I have the backup I will download it and store it offsite.



    Any help will be appreciated as this is urgently needed.



    Thank you

    1. Home Support Cpanel Tutorials Cpanel tutorial how to backup and restore your home directory
    2. So when you specify the remote backup directory for rdiff
    3. It was designed to copy your home directory or any other folder to another location, not create a bootable backup
    4. So, for example, if you want to copy some files under your home directory to a USB storage device, you might use rsync -a /
    5. To allow access to all files in all directories in and below the /home directory, enter: set access backup /home/* * * set access backup /home/*/* * *

    Just Login to the Putty and then fire the commands listed below one by one.



    cd /

    cd home

    tar -cvzf home.tar.gz .



    You can then download the file home.tar.gz using the FTP. Home directory backups can also be generated from the controlpanel.

    Thank you very much.



    While it is backing up will it kill the server speed, should I wait until the early morning hours.



    How long would 2GB take to backup ?



    The server is dual core AMD opt 2GB Ram. At the moment it is very fast.

    Thank you.
