Hello,
my idea is to make a backup of some paths of my laptop via PHP.
I like to use a MySQL Datebase to trace which file was uploaded
from
which
path and so on.
Also it should be uses to look up it is nessasery to backup this
file
because it was changed since last time or not.
All this files should be uploaded to the SERVER in a special
folder
where
this files run to a tape backup machine.
I hope some one can give me some ideas for this.
Kind Regards

There's a few ways to go about doing this, but I reckon you
should
do
something similar to the following:
* schedule a cron job to run as often as you want the backup
to
be
done, and have the cron call a script
* the script can either be php and use your own code to
create
copies of files and check file dates for backup purposes,
or
use
the rsync tool which pretty much does all of this for you
automatically
* update a database as you need. this can be done either
from a
php script or directly via mysql on the console
If you do use PHP for this, you'll want to code it as a CLI
script
rather than a web page script. On the whole it won't make much of
a
difference, but obviously some global variables will change a
bit.

Hello Ashley,
i try to make a backup from some paths of my local laptop harddrive to
a
folder on my server. Even if i'm not in the company.
If i'm outside (this time i'm in China) i have to copy it through the
Internet that is using http or ftp transport protocol.
The start of the copy is when the user clicks to a buttom and start
the
backup process.
Kind Regards

The script needs to be set up on your local machine. I don't think HTTP
will help you much here, as that isn't great for transferring files
upstream I've found. Googling 'rsync ftp example' brings about over
230,000 results, have you actually tried looking?
Thanks,
Ash

No, i have not.
Because i also think that there will not a finish software.
So i think i have to write something by my own.
That is the reason i ask for ideas to do so.
I just read here the following thread:
Read directory; store filenames found in mySQL table?
That is something that is running in that direction in try to go.
Kind Regards
Jens Geier
But I've told you that the best tool to do it is rsync. This is a tool,
not a whole large peice of software with a GUI, etc. You use it in
conjunction with other software to achieve what you need. Have you even
looked up at what rsync is?
Thanks,
Ash

I recently used rsync (for the first time, even) in order to transfer an
entire directory structure of several thousand files and folders from one
VPS host to another. It worked like a dream, and the standard output could
be captured to build a report such as the OP was asking for.
Srsly, man -- take Ashley's suggestion and at least check it out. :)
I've been using rsnapshot (it uses rsync) to do backups of remote server
directories:
http://rsnapshot.org/
Just thought I'd throw it out there :)
Cheers,
Rob.
