Here is a simple and easy-to-follow method to backup your Debian 11 server:
1. Create a folder on your server where you want to store the backup files. For example:
sudo mkdir /backup
2. Install tar, if tar is not already installed on your server, install it using the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tar
3. To create a backup of your entire server, including all files and directories, use the following command:
sudo tar -cvpzf /backup/backup.tar.gz --exclude=/backup --one-file-system /
This command will create a compressed backup file (backup.tar.gz) in the /backup folder.
That's it! This method will create a full backup of your Debian 11 server, and is simple and easy to implement. If there is any problems please contact us.
