GoDaddy Backup Script Updated to v1.0
June 15th, 2009
In late January 2009, I made a post about a PHP script I developped to help GoDaddy users to backup their website. The script creates a “gzipped tarball” of all the files and directories in your GoDaddy account so you can download your entire website in a single file.
Unfortunately it seemed the backup script didn’t exclude the backup file itself from the archive. The latest version of the GoDaddy Backup Script should now exclude this file correctly.

I tried using your php script to get a backup of my files hosted on godaddy but it is not working for me. I changed the pw and uploaded it correctly to my root dir. Did I miss something that I may not be aware of?

Hi Kwasi,
Please give me a little more details so I can help you out. What did you do exactly, what happened when, what is the size of your website, etc.

@sarabjeet: Try creating a directory named “mysql-backup” at the root of your website. Set its permissions to 0777 (full write access).
