data backup help

[maransekar]

Hello everybody

I was just wondering is there a script or something to take regular backup connecting to the remote server from the local server say like every hour or something, but it has to compare the data in the local server with the data in the remote server if it is different it has to take backup of only those datas which are different. I don't know whether i confused.

thanks very much for that, but i'm sorry i should have mentioned that i am looking for something to take backup of the files like for example we create lot of pdf files every day but we need to keep those file safely so we would like to take backup of those files may be everyday. So i'm looking for some script or any sort of utilities through which i can take backup in certain intervals. I have PHPMyAdmin to take back up of the databases.

Any help on this one..

Many thanks

Depending on your server OS (Unix, freebsd, windows), there are a multitude of file syncronization programs out. A friend of mine used a php script to ftp all files to another server in a cron job.
!/usr/bin/php or some syntax like that on a freebsd server. There's even software from iopus that emails chainged versions (b2ee=better to email everything...i thunk).

possibly something similar to this

Have fun searching trying to figure out if the two files are the same.
