I'm looking for a nice utility to maintain backup instances of my LAMP-based web applications. (LAMP = Linux Apache MySQL PHP {don't care about the PHP part}). I want the backup instances to be functional, so in the event of a failure on the src copy machine, the backup instances can be used as a drop-in replacement.
Ideally, I'd like a utility with a web ui that lets me provide ssh credentials, source and destination information and will go off and periodically push copies of my LAMP sites to whatever backup locations I specify - automatically.
I'm considering just writing this myself. But it seems to me like something that must exist. Then again, I can imagine how no one's bothered to make a UI for something like this as it's so simple to do with cron jobs & rsync.
cronwithrsyncup until you got to "web interface". – new123456 Jul 11 '11 at 23:28
