I favor rsync where I can. If I remember right, the CLUG site needs to
use FTP though. So rsync becomes troublesome. There are some tools
like lftp that have mirroring capabilities. I use this in one of my
backup scripts:
lftp $FTPUSER:[email protected] <<SCRIPT
mirror -n httpdocs /home/backup/working/mysite/
quit
SCRIPT
The mailing lists are simply text files, accessible through the shell
access to the site, I think. So, you'd just need to modify the above to
point to the right directory. (I'm not sure if the mailman data is
accessible or not though....)
For the websites, I use rsync if I can get an SSH connection (with
ssh-keys), or something like the command above. In a worse case, wget
will do the trick too, but tends to give you the rendered view of the
site, not the original files.
HTH.

Hi all,
I'm doing a regular backup of the CLUG site, and I was wondering
what people here used for mirroring utilities. I've been using
httrack, but it seems like I could find something a lot faster.
For instance, doing
httrack http://clug.ca/pipermail/clug-talk_clug.ca/ -W -O
"/tmp/CLUG-clugtalk" -%v
pulls the clug-talk mailing list in 1 hour 8 minutes (a total of 78 megabytes).
Anyone with a simpler/faster solution?
