--backup-one-site <domain>
Backup only one site or an individual domain. If the domain name is not supplied, it will ask for it.
--update

--backup-everything
Backs up everything ie. The appliance, all available resellers, all available sites, the configured extra
files and databases. NO EXCLUSIONS!
--full-database-dump
Backs up all server databases. NO EXCLUSIONS!
--fix-cross-link

EXAMPLES
Command line examples:
# ./CustomEnsimBackup => Backs up everything.
# ./CustomEnsimBackup --full-database-dump => Backups up all the server databases.
# ./CustomEnsimBackup --update => Checks for and updates CustomEnsimBackup if available.
# ./CustomEnsimBackup --backup-one-site and answer the questions, or # ./CustomEnsimBackup --backup-one-site
<somedomain.com> to just get the site backed up with no other intervention.
Crontab examples for CustomEnsimBackup:
0 1 * * * root /root/CustomEnsimBackup/CustomEnsimBackup >/dev/null 2>&1 => Backs up everything, everyday
For those stressed out servers, using the --low, --medium, and --high options, I would suggest:
0 1 * * 0,3 root /root/CustomEnsimBackup/CustomEnsimBackup --low >/dev/null 2>&1
0 1 * * 1,4 root /root/CustomEnsimBackup/CustomEnsimBackup --medium >/dev/null 2>&1
0 1 * * 2,5 root /root/CustomEnsimBackup/CustomEnsimBackup --high >/dev/null 2>&1
# For all stagger methods or none of the old files get deleted when they should!
0 9 * * * root /root/CustomEnsimBackup/CustomEnsimBackup -c >/dev/null 2>&1
This will do the low numbered sites on Sun., Wed. The Mediums on Mon., Thurs. and the Highs on Tues., Fri.
Logging is in /var/log/CustomEnsimBackup/CustomEnsimBackup.log and it is rotated weekly.
