Comments on: Automatic and unattended remote unix backup script for files and MySQL databases using TAR and SSH http://www.jamescaws.com/2008/06/automatic-and-unattended-remote-unix-backup-script-for-files-and-mysql-databases-using-tar-and-ssh/ PHP web developer // Melbourne, AU Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:52:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Saar http://www.jamescaws.com/2008/06/automatic-and-unattended-remote-unix-backup-script-for-files-and-mysql-databases-using-tar-and-ssh/comment-page-1/#comment-413 Saar Mon, 03 Nov 2008 09:12:49 +0000 http://www.jamescaws.co.uk/?p=6#comment-413 Thank you very much. Since I didn't need/want the remote backup, I have added a "return 1" in the sendBackupAndVerify function. I also removed the > /dev/null 2>&1 in the tar command, since it didn't copy the files themselves, only the directory structure. Not sure why. Last change I am working on, is to have the directories read from a .conf file. I prefer to have it outside the logic of the program. Thank you. Thank you very much.

I already had been using the original version of this script and needed the mysql features, so this worked out perfectly for me with the SSH as well. Thanks for your additions!
