How to make a backup of VAR dir

Saturday 14 April 2007 3:57:13 am

Hi,

I'm trying to make a Backup of the whole "var" dir, and it's virtually imposible. I don't have SSH or TelNet access to the server, to make a "tar" file on the commad line, so I have to do it via FTP.

But my CuteFTP Pro client fails to manage long name nested dirs on VAR dir.

Is there any way to make a BackUp of this dir, any php scrip to "tar" it and them donwload? Any other idea would be welcome :)

Thank you!

Thanks for the answer.

Yeah, I know that I only need the "/var/[siteaccess]/storage", but still have the same prolem, in a complex site, the nested folders can be really loooooooooong, and cannot download them via FTP, some of them always fail...
