CDP.me - Open Source Linux Server Backups

Posted On // Leave a Comment

Hey guys,


I've been hearing and experiencing some RAID failures / unexpected data losses from various VPS providers recently. Although I had my backups I'm sure many others on the same nodes didn't.


As always, backing up your data is your responsibility but many VPS users don't know or how to back up. Backup servers are also extremely cheap from providers such as NanoVZ, DrServer and Backupsy/VPSDime so there is no reason to not backup :)


I've written the backup script to help users to back up their critical data easily. Everything is written in PHP, with Json files as databases. There is no MySQL involved so the script should use a fairly low amount of resources.


The script features



  • Web Based Administration Panel

    • Add Servers

    • Add Backup Jobs

    • View Backups

    • Download Backups

    • Restore Backups

    • Delete Backups



  • Json Flat File Database (no MySQL involved)

  • Backups ran using cron (at any interval...hourly, daily, weekly, etc)

  • Server authentication using password or key

  • Email Notifications (soon to be improved)


The script installation is pretty straight forward, just run the installer on the backup server then add servers/jobs and that's it. You don't even need to install an agent on the source server.


The whole project is available on GitHub so you can see what it's doing on your servers, please also feel free to report bugs or contribute to it.

Thank you.
