Automated backup of unattended Web servers

Web server unexpected, such as encountering network virus or Trojan attack, server host hardware damage, etc., to the fastest time in the Web server to restore the working state of normal, the most effective way is to restore the previous backup of the good Web server data directly restore, However, this method requires us to do backup work in advance on the important data in the Web server. Unfortunately, many network administrators are unable to take the time to manually back up their Web servers every day, especially at work hours, and many network administrators do not have time to stare at their Web servers because of the variety of tasks at hand; The method of automatically backing up important data in a Web server, which requires a tool called Green-loop FTP data backup, to easily automate the purpose of Web server backup.

Create a Web server backup task

Because the automatic backup operation is performed, need to use the "Green Ring FTP Data Backup" Professional tools, so we should first download the installation of the tool from the Internet, and then from the downloaded data compression package in the implementation of the "Green Loop FTP Data Backup" program files, you can open the main operating interface of the program, In this interface we are able to create, manage various data backup tasks.

When creating a Web server backup task, we can first click the FTP Backup option in the menu bar in the main program interface, perform the new FTP backup task command from the Drop-down menu, and open the FTP Backup Task Setup dialog box as shown in Figure 1:

Figure 1

In the Task Name text box of the Settings dialog box, take the appropriate name for the backup task that you are currently creating, assuming that we name the newly created FTP backup task "Backup Web Server" here;

Then at the FTP option location, we need to correctly fill in the domain name or IP address text box for the target Web server IP address or domain address of the data backup, and then enter the legal account number of the login target Web server in the username, password text box; If we are using a virtual Host account, That's right here. The ISP provided to their own FTP access account can be; if the target Web server is set up in its own unit LAN network, then we can use serv-u tools to create a right FTP access account. In addition, FTP data transfer By default requires the use of communication port 21, for which we must open the target Web server 21 port, otherwise the "Green Ring FTP Data Backup" tool is not working properly.
