EasyEngine-Backup-Restore

Features

• One touch, three minute install
• Set it and forget it, will automatically run a backup every night and email you in case of failure
• Works with all easyengine site types
• Perfectly restores every aspect of every single easyengine website you're hosting, from your database, to all of your files [even outside htdocs], and so on
• Stores backups both locally and remotely [on S3]
• Encrypts all remote backups with a 42 character passphrase
• Allows you to restore your backup with one single command and a maximum of three minutes of your time even from a blank machine you've never set up before
• Performs DNS checks and prompts you to activate LetsEncrypt on newly restored sites
• Does NOT rely on easyengine's database but rather directly scans your /var/www/ directory
• Performs a test restore before every backup to ensure remote backup integrity and passphrase match
• Actually [re-]installs and updates EasyEngine on install and restore operations to remove any extra step: you'll be fully operational with just one command
• Returns detailed errors in case of failure to help you get your data back during a restore
• Outputs clean and colorful logs and stores them automatically inside its own log directory
