The script can be used for websites hosted on Linux servers, with a MySQL database and FTP access.
HostingBackup has two commponents, a local and a remote one.
The remote component will manage operations like optimization and dump of MySQL databases.
The local component will manage the execution of backups and utilities like the encrypted password generation and automatic installation of the remote component.
All passwords are rc4 key encrypted. When the dump script is called, the decrypt key is passed to the server.
Here are some key features of "HostingBackup":
· Uses rc4 encryption
· All passwords are stored on the remote server
· Decrypt/Encrypt key is stored on the local server
Limitations:
· The remote component only works with: Linux hosting servers and MySQL databases
· Does not support automatic backups
