I am running a LAMP Ubuntu 18.04.
Recently I installed rclone to backup my files to google drive.

Currently what I do is, backup all databases using automysqlbackup and sync to google drive including /var/www directory.

What are the other files and directories to backup which I can restore easily without starting from the scratch?

Note: I use vertualhost also.

/etc/apache2/ ?
What else have you configured as part of your server setup

Okay. found another directory to backup if you use letsencrypt, making regular backups of /etc/letsencryptfolder is ideal. says in this page

So now backup

  • /var/www/
  • /etc/apache2/
  • /etc/letsencrypt/ (if use letsencrypt for ssl)
  • /var/lib/automysqlbackup/ (if use automysqlbackup mysql backup)

Anything else?
