Backup Server has been designed to make it easy monitor one or more website's backup status as well as additional parameters including: Apache/PHP settings, Backup Client module configuration, installed module status, MySQL server statistics, and node and user creation histories.
For the latest changes please read the "What’s new" page.
Quick start guide to monitoring a site:
Goto the "Add" tab (admin/build/backupserver/add) and enter the information about the website you want to monitor. Note: if this website is properly configured it can monitor itself.
From the Backup Server overview page select the "Update" link in the Administration table column.
Design goals and background:
FivePaths was spending a lot of time keeping all their client websites up to date. We found that a lot of this work was repetitive and could be automated. Our goal was to make it easy to get a quick snapshot of a website's configuration and status. From these efforts this module emerged.
