backing up a website
|
|
|
| I'm trying to backup up my website using wget.
wget -mirror -w 3 -p -P $HOME/MyWebBak ftp://username:password@ftp.mydomain.com
This produces $HOME/MyWebBak/index.html very quickly - too quickly.
When I point my browser to $HOME/MyWebBak/index.html, it appears to be
a mirror immage of my website filesystem, but the files have no
content.
Is wget the tool I should be using for a modest ( <5GB) website?
If yes, what should my command line be?
If no, what OSS software should I turn to (using OpenSUSE 10.2, KDE)?

I've been experimenting with different options, and the following
command line seems to give good results: "wget --mirror -w3 -pr --
output-file=wget.log --tries=5 --passive-ftp ftp://uname:passwd@ftp.mydomain.com"
Because of the 3 sec. delay before each file [right?] it is slow. It
takes nearly 2.5 hrs. to backup 27MB, but this is not unacceptable.
Or should I use "-w2"?
Anyway, do I have the correct options to give reliable backups of my
website? Are any unnecessary?
