What is the preferred backup method.? Script or Third Party Software.?
We currently run a Moodle 4.1.14 Build (20241011), Php 8.0.30, MySql 8.0.36 and was kindly provided a script by Ken (Thanks heaps Ken) to backup our Site which we do manually and via a Cron Job.
What I want to do is either backup the site (existing process) and send to another sever to then load into a fall back site automatically
Or
Mirror the production site to the fallback site on each update from a student or change to the environment.
I can see a overhead to the server of having the site mirrored to another site, but this gives a almost setup and forget solution. Apart from when the site goes down, and we need to redirect traffic (Students) to the new site.
We have on average 100 - 150 Students per day (unique logins) doing their studies and uploading.
I should note that we keep "Forever all students, and course content". The size of the Database is 2.5gb, Moodle Code is 11gb, Moodledata is 11gb
Thoughts on these or another solution.
