Hello Friends,

I will be releasing my scripts collection one my one from now one and so I start with the backups script I created recently This script maintains cpanel backups for any number of days you want for one particular user. A multi user version of this script is coming soon.

The script goes as below :

#!/bin/bash

#===========================================================================#
# Script by Shashank Wagh						    #
# Shashank.net(C) 2008.							    #
# This script preserves cpanel backups for any number of days for a domain. #
# Version 0.2			      				            #
# This script is provided as it is. You should use it at your own risk.	    #
#===========================================================================#

### Please specify the four variables below ####

# user is the cpanel username to be packaged and saved
USER="cpanelusername"

# Please specify the mount mount of the parition for the backup.
# Command examples : /backup , /home2
BACKUPPAR="/backup"

# backupdir is the path to the place where these backups will be stored.
BACKUPDIR=$BACKUPPAR/userbackup/

# Number of days to keep backups
DAYS=30

# Changes than normal 
# Host /home does not have enough space so tarroot is /backup
# I am using cpanel's userbackup method so that we get cpanel's time stamp.

diskcheck() {
	echo "[*] Checking backup partition usage"
	usage=`df -h | grep backup | tr -s " " " " | cut -d " " -f 5 | cut -d "%" -f 1`
	if [ $usage -gt 95 ]; then
	echo "[*] Backup partition full. Aborting backups"
	exit 0
	else
	echo "[*] Backup Partition check passed"
	fi
	} 
	
createbackup() {
	echo "[*] Checking Cpanel Users Homedir"
	if [ -d /home/$USER ]; then
	echo "[*] Homedir exists. Proceeding ..."
		else
	echo "[*] Homedir does not exist. Aborting script..."
	exit 0
	fi
	echo "[*] Generating backup .."
	/scripts/pkgacct $USER /backup userbackup
	mv /backup/backup-*-$USER.tar.gz $BACKUPDIR/
	echo "[*] Backup for $now moved to $BACKUPDIR"
	}

cleanbackups() {
	echo "[*] Checking for backups more than $DAYS old"
	for i in `find $BACKUPDIR -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime +$DAYS`
	do
		echo "The backup file $i is more than $DAYS old. Removing file.."
		rm -rfv $i
	done
	echo "[*] Cleanup Completed"
	}

Thank you.
