Backups

Backups that are running: what they are saving, where they are located, and how to restore them.

Web services

All backups are located on the Synology NAS, under IT Backups.

amaravati.org (WordPress)

The www.amaravati.org folder contains a copy of all the WordPress files and uploads (this is a fairly large folder, under 200GB, as it contains all of our audio files.)

The script /home/itadmin/ on the Linux server is responsible for this backup. It:

  • clones the WordPress files from Krystal via FTP to /data/backups/www.amaravati.org on the Linux server
  • copies /data/backups/www.amaravati.org to the Synology NAS under /IT Backups/www.amaravati.org 

So we have technically two backups at all time.
