You can execute this script to create a backup of the files on the hosting account:
~/bin/backup_httpdocs.php
This script will:
- Create a backup in ~/backup containing the contents of the locations:
- ~/httpdocs
- ~/public_html
- ~/www
- ~/magento
- ~/magento2
- If one of these directories is a symlink, it will try to backup the location the link is pointing to.
- The script will exclude certain locations like:
- var/session
- var/cache
- var/log
- var/report
- media/catalog/product/cache
- media/import
- media/tmp
- When finished the script will show the name and location of the backup.
