Website Backup Script Updated: Take Care of Hidden Files now.

Posted on by

I’ve updated my website-backup python script.

Change log:

  • Use set ftp:list-options -a command to force lftp to download hidden files (like .htaccess and so on).
  • Use --force parameter to allow auto-deletion of multiple outdated rdiff-backup increments.
  • Defensive incremental backup policy: keep 32 last backups instead of 32 days of backup.

I also added a debug mode as suggested by Sacha.
