Sysadmin Backup

I am setting up a backup. For vhosts backup I use this dirs:

Code (Text):

- /home/nginx/domains/*/backup
- /home/nginx/domains/*/log
- /home/nginx/domains/*/public/wp-content/cache
+ /home/nginx/domains/${VHOSTNAME}
+ /usr/local/nginx/conf/${VHOSTNAME}*
+ /usr/local/nginx/conf/*/${VHOSTNAME}*
+ /root/tools/*_${VHOSTNAME}*
+ /root/.config/*/${VHOSTNAME}*
- **

duplicity format (DUPLICITY(1) manual page)
rootpath=/, + is a include path, - is a exclude path
+ DB Backup
+ cron ?
Have I any directory forgotten?

---

For server I use:

Code (Text):

- /swapfile
- /proc
- /mnt
- /tmp
- /dev
- /sys
- /svr-setup
- /var/tmp
- /var/log
- /usr/src
- /usr/local/src
- /usr/local/nginxbackup
- /root/.cache
- /root/centminlogs
- /home/nginx/domains
+ **

What do you think about this list? Do I need to remove or add a path? I need a small but full archive for recovery.

 

Thank you for answer. Yes, that paths I exclude from backup. "-" is "exclude path". Log files excluded too and:
- /root/.cache - some tmp files
- /usr/src - i see only kernels src
- /usr/local/src - centminmod; For own src I use root/src
- /usr/local/nginxbackup - centminmod nginx backups
- /root/centminlogs - centminmod
- /home/nginx/domains - separated backup for each vhost
- /dev - runtime data ?
- /sys - runtimedata ?

 

Thank you! Reading That tips are talking only about vhosts?

 

I was afraid that you can use these paths:

Code (Text):

- /usr/src
- /usr/local/src
- /usr/local/nginxbackup

These folders are very large. I use free backup (hubiC and Mega) and I cannot use rsync. All in all your tips helped me to use duplicity.
