FlyingMonkey Posted May 22, 2004 Posted May 22, 2004 Is there a command to compress and entire site before downloading? and a way to uncompress the files all server side? Thanks. Most likely your question has been answered, please do a search first.
♥yesudo Posted May 22, 2004 Posted May 22, 2004 you may need to get your host to do it. Your online success is Paramount.
FlyingMonkey Posted May 23, 2004 Author Posted May 23, 2004 i just thought it would be similar to how the sql database is compressed? we're given ssh access, if that helps... Most likely your question has been answered, please do a search first.

Guest Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 once you have logged on via ssh, get to your 'root' of your site, then - tar czvf filenamebackup.tar.gz ./ will backup your whole site, minus the sql datafile. thus, prior to backing up do a sql backup in the admin section of the store, which will then be backed up with the rest of site. to restore, go to where you want to extract, with the file there, and type in tar xzvf filenamebackup.tar.gz
FlyingMonkey Posted June 2, 2004 Author Posted June 2, 2004 ahh... thanks! this'll speed things up. :-) Most likely your question has been answered, please do a search first.
radders Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 I tried mibble's excellent suggestion - just one problem -' error file changed as we read it' I think it is trying to archive the archive file into itself! :blink:
