Hi Daryl, I,m sorry but I can't read the command that your using in the nightlybackup.sh file it's too small to see and blurry. Thanx and keep up your great work this video is exellent!

@divemaster3345 The code is a s follows:

tar -czf /home/username/backup/$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz /home/username --exclude "/home/username/backup/*"

I am glad you enjoyed the video.

Any reason why you wouldn't just click on the BACKUP WIZARD in cpanel?  It emails a zipped copy of your site to you in a few simple easy to follow clicks. Takes about 1 minute to do.

@psthorpe Thanks for your question.

Yes, the method you suggests works well for when you want a manual backup. The point of this video, however, is to demonstrate how to have an automated backup solution that, once set up, will require no intervention from the website owner,
