Does anyone know how to take a backup of Redmine files. My files are located at /data/redmine/apps/redmine/htdocs/files. I need to get them in a folder of .tgz. Is it possible? If yes please tell me the command also to unzip it.

Did you mean the attatchments??????????????

If yes use -tar -pzcf $BACKUP_DIR/${DATE}/redmine_files.tar.gz -C $REDMINE_HOME

You need to specify the BACKUP_DIRand REDMINE_HOME in your script.And please make a script according to your need and schedule in a crontab if you need it regurly.

Use tar zxvf redmine_files.tar.gz for unzipping.

    You should write a shell script `backup-redmine.bash` which wraps the above invocation of `tar(1)` command, and then simply call it from crontab: `10 3 * * * /path/to/backup-redmine.bash` (3:10 am, for example) – nodakai Aug 28 '14 at 16:02
