How can I backup everything that I've installed and changed since I first install apache2triad. I mean EVERYTHING and how do I restore it back?

Thanks

OK, the most important part is my email accounts, currently I have 3 domains hosted and I wanted to make a backup regularly to avoid any disaster.

Does anyone has any script that could backup all files all at once and restore to another system?

yea i made this script a while back but you need to edit it so that it fits your needs use it at your own risk

handle=_winreg.ConnectRegistry(None, _winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)

if not os.path.exists("C:/apache2triadbackup"):
   os.makedirs("C:/apache2triadbackup")


tar = tarfile.open("C:/apache2triadbackup/apache2triad_backup.tar", "w")
for name in [os.path.join(a2t_path, "conf")]:
    tar.add(name)
for name in [os.path.join(a2t_path, "htdocs")]:

If you wanted an automated process, you could tell the task scheduler to run that script as well..

Also, you may want to be carefully by simply zipping up data in MySql, should export the data.. Problem is, if you just zip it, the new mysql may not recognize the format. this is a problem I ran into writing my apache2triad backup proggie. however if you export the data, you'll have no problems recovering.
