We have a Ubuntu 12.04 server. -On the server we have some websites in /var/www/xxx -Mysql with some databases -We have also a standard installation of Atlassian Jira and Confluence -Other server I need to create a backup script that can take backup of the systems above. The backup should be compressed to one file and be placed in a folder. The file should be tagged with date and time. The script should only keep the ten latest backup files. On my personal computer I run OS X 10.8.2. I want a script that automatically connect to the server with SFTP and download the latest file to my local folder. The script must keep the ten latest backup files. You need to write the two script. The script must have good source code documentation so we can see how it works (and modify it if needed). I also need a “how to guide” on how we can install both script and schedule them to automatically run every day.

I would be glad to meet your need. I have experience writing shell scripts for bash, and also in Perl, PHP, and Python. I create the two scripts necessary. More is in a private message.

i already did the backup script before to backup your www folder and all of your database and save automattically every day by date & time. i just will write the second script with visual basic .net to download the backups automattically. and the installation and usage is very easy.

Hi, I understand exactly. Backups can be very frustrating. I actually have a similar backup system running on my own servers that I could easily adapt and modify (and, add a little documentation). I would also, at your request, like to possibly comment on your proposed scheme and propose a slightly modified method using rsync (LOCALLY, not for the Ubuntu->Your Mac Setup) and possibly other if time permits. I have been a professional system administrator for over 4 years and currently administer more servers than I can count on a daily basis, in addition to writing a heavily thorough backup system.
