Restore Site Files With Cron Jobs? - 3r3bus - 09-28-2012
Hey guys,
I want to restore a site from a generic backup on a scheduled timer.
My theory is to use cron jobs to execute a php script (on a set time interval) which restores the site from a .tar on the same ftp server as the files.
So it would need to delete all files on the server (except the .tar) then extract the contents of the .tar back onto the server.
Is this possible?
If so, were would I find such a script. I have looked around the interwebz and can't find anything matching my needs, nor do I have the skills to write the script myself.
Cheers.

I hate to do this, but BUMP!
Another question:
Is it possible to store the backup on a different server, somehow automatically;
Deletes all files of the server
Downloads the backup .tar from a separate server on to the existing
Extract the .tar
and repeat? Or is that to advanced?

Hi
You can make a php script that would delete all files from the server, download the backup and extract it
