Backup and Recovery

I finished putting together my personal website backup script, and it can be found on my Github page.

Most website hosting companies do their own backups, but they often make no guarantees about actually recovering your data. If you put any amount of effort into a website, you really owe it to yourself to have a decent backup and recovery strategy. You don’t have to do anything too fancy or complicated, but at a minimum you should backup your home directory with tar and any databases that your website uses.
