Features

  • One touch, three minute install
  • Fully installs EasyEngine with all extra modules from the start and more
  • Set-it-and-forget-it backups will automatically run a backup of all your sites every night and email you in case of failure
  • Works with all EasyEngine site types
  • Stores backups both locally and remotely [on S3]
  • Encrypts all remote backups with a 42 character passphrase
  • Backs up new sites automatically with no need to perform any additional action
  • Requires no operations inside the individual websites, everything happens on the filesystem level completely unbeknownst to the websites themselves
  • Does NOT rely on EasyEngine's database but rather directly scans your /var/www/ directory
  • Performs a test restore before every S3 backup to ensure remote backup integrity and passphrase match
  • Allows you to restore your backup with one single command and a maximum of three minutes of your time even from a blank machine you've never set up before
  • Perfectly restores every aspect of every single EasyEngine website you're hosting, from your database, to all of your files [even outside htdocs], and so on
  • Performs DNS checks and prompts you to activate LetsEncrypt on newly restored sites
  • Actually [re-]installs and updates EasyEngine on install and restore operations to remove any extra step: you'll be fully operational with just one command
  • Returns detailed errors in case of failure to help you get your data back during a restore
  • Outputs clean and colorful logs and stores them automatically inside its own log directory
