Multiple operations
Replicating a finished backup to a remote FTP server.
This scenario demonstrates how a complex backup task is split into several simple successive operations. Lets say we want to backup the contents of two different folders and one database. The folders’ backups should be replicated onto an external FTP server. The local backups (i.e. the ones in the backup repository) should be compressed. Once they are transferred to another computer, they should also be encrypted. Since folder 2 is very large, we only want to put it onto the FTP server and not keep it in the local backup repository, because we are a little low on hard disk space already ;-)
Each of those backup operations can be represented very straightforward in Paranoid Backup.
-
1.Backup and compress folder 1 into the local backup repository
-
2.Backup and compress the database into the local backup repository
-
3.Take the already compressed backup of folder 1 from the local backup repository, encrypt it, and upload it to the FTP server
-
4.Read folder 2, compress and encrypt it, and upload it directly to the FTP server
