backup of my VPS

[marchello_lippi2]

Hi all,

How do I perform backup of my VPS ?
I got VPS with 3 GB space, only 477M left, so I can't archivate all data at VPS.
What else I can do to perform it?

Does your provider offer a backup service?

Otherwise you should copy anything irreplaceable over to a machine at your home or office. Take a look at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync

Nope

Yep, trying to do it now in mc using shell-connection.

I tried it, but as far as I can see, it allows to copy local data into remote ssh server. I have ssh and public IP address at VPS, but I do not have public IP address at home/office. So it doesn't work for me.

So I stick to mc+shell-connection now.

Thanks for your reply.

rsync also allows you to copy from remote server to your local machine.

Syntax for rsync is: rsync [-options] <source> <destination>

If you need to from your remote server to your local machine, then just follow the syntax like something below:

rsync -avh --progress username@serverpublicIP:/folder/to/copy /mylocal/folder/backupfolder/
