ioBackup

[Mr_X]

It backups user files (etc, users, groups, scripts) and ioFTPD.ini into a rar file with a password and send it to another FTP or to a SMB share.

Works really nice
I have a question tho,..
When it sends the zip is that made by ioFTPD.exe or ?
I need to allow something in the firewall at one place cause the backup from it gets only 0byte, and without firewall it works ;S

thx - _lefkas

[Mr_X]

You need to allow ftp.exe from microsoft to access to Internet (and allowing it opening any port)
It can also be ioFTPD.exe but i'm not sure because you can connect to it (already allowed).
(I'm not in your firewall and i don't know the rules you use )

I have another suggestion which would make me happy
And maybe a lot of other users...
I use sharedb.And i am fairly new to this...
But there is one error i have many times and that's ioShareDB: error register user
I fix this to copy the userfile from the "hub" to the "slave".
Is there a way to schedule this backup and send this to several slaves and servers but not in rar file?
This would help me a lot and probably a lot of others aswell

[Mr_X]

I tried to schedule backup but it always fail and I don't know why because it worked fine with SITE command. I spent lots of time to search from where it comes without success.
I don't have so much time these days to investigate, i have nearly all days 8AM->6PM during the week + works for school.
I can restart working on it at the beginning of february when my exams will be done.

You wanted to schedule this.
I can make something to schedule but not with ioFTPD schedule (don't work very good as I said): my own that will stay in memory (and maybe one that will be installable as a service also).

I could also make another version that will be included in Service (all in one)

About copying userfile, I don't think it's possible to do while io is running because it locks these files. You have to stop ioFTPD and decompress user files.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but in this case, tell me.

i can copy it and replace it with no problem.It's ioshared remember
I can do this without stopping the servers.Eventually i do a restart anyway just to make sure it works
Would only be cool if a script or programm does for onece a day or so
No that it is so often that i get this error but better to make sure

[Mr_X]

Sorry, forgot to mention that i was speaking (the things you quoted) about fixing problem with ioShareDB (overwritings files in slaves)
