I'm configuring for the first time a VPS service and I'm wondering how I could setup automatic backups of my websites. Should I let handle it by apache ? Or operating system level ? Also, is there something I should know about configuring a VPS for multiple websites ? thanks

I'm doing that every week with a shell script that creates a TAR file in /root and copies it using SCP. It creates on files per mysql database, copy your local ldap directory if you have one. It requires that you have a destination machine on which you can connect with a SSH key that's installed on your local machines. With those assumptions satisfied, here is the script. | |||

It depends on your configuration and your aim. Do you have mysql? Only static pages and PHP scripts? As a minimum, you could use rsync to copy your files from your VPS to another place. It's quite standard and very flexible. | |||
