Code referred to in podcast 17
This is just a simple example of how to easily backup crucial directories from a webserver to a remote backup computer

Assumptions made in this example: 2424 is the alternate port number, and public key has already generated and exchanged with remote computer. Substitute username with your username, substitute backup_computer_name with the name of the remote computer you are backing up to, and substitute /stuff/backup/ with the directory path on the remote computer where you will be storing the backups.

#!/bin/bash

# example backup script

tar zcf - /etc/apache/ | ssh -p2424 backup_computer_name "cd /stuff/backup;cat > apache.tgz";

tar zcf - /home/username/bin/ | ssh -p2424 backup_computer_name "cd /stuff/backup;cat > home_username_bin.tgz";

tar zcf - /home/username/download/ | ssh -p2424 bakup_computer_name "cd /stuff/backup;cat > home_username_download.tgz"

tar zcf - /var/www/ | ssh -p2424 backup_computer_name "cd /stuff/backup;cat > www.tgz"

# exit cleanly

exit 0

This script is best run from a cron job as root.
