Hi there,

I want to save / zip a web account from it's root via a php script.

Sorry for asking - because I have a very low internet link on my vacation
place and I have found out, that some hackers try tor "erase" some files now
and then. Changing password did not lead to a success so far.

So, if YOU have a URL or a script which COPIES or ZIPs all files including
subdirectories, you would really help me.

Thanks
Bruno

Bruno:

There is nothing much to backing up a directory. I am assuming that
you are on a Linux server.

$dir = "/path/to/dir2backup";
$filename = "backup";
$date = date ('Y-m-d');
bu_dir = "/path/to/backup/dir";

chdir ($bu_dir);
if (is_dir ($dir))
{
system ("tar -zcf $filename.$date.tar.gz $dir");
system ("chmod 666 $filename.$date.tar.gz");
}
