How to create backup of a website from the backend?

[pratapsingh]

Hi I want to create a backup of my website from the back-end (Linux - console). Because my control panel licensed has been expired. And I want to create backup for my website from the backed. Is there any way to do so? Please let me know. And how can I again restore it?

I tried to take backup using the script /scripts/cpbackup

user@localhost [~]# /scripts/cpbackup
[cpbackup] Setting up mount
[cpbackup] running: /bin/mount /backup
mount: can't find /backup in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[cpbackup] running: /bin/mount -o remount,rw /backup
mount: can't find /backup in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[cpbackup] Backup failed! /backup is not mounted! at /scripts/cpbackup line 904.

I googled this issue but i didn't find any solution for this.

what are you backing up, static html/php files or are you also needing mysql backups?
