make better backups

I’ve setup a forum with drupal as design & code review tool for my team. Its data must be backup constantly

I should start to backup MySQL database since all my private blog, bookmark, and bugs are stored there.

They are critical to me.

Finally, I find a way to backup my website incrementally with wget.

wget -m -w 5—random-wait—ftp-user=myname—ftp-password=mypasswd “ftp://my.host.machine/mypath/*”

This command has potential security issue but it’s ok for me. :-)

It’s time to backup del.icio.us.

I start to use wget to backup my website. Since it only download newly modified files, lots of bandwidth is saved. For windows user, you could get it by install Cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com/
