CPanel full backup (all files+databases+emails) PHP script

January 26th, 2013 23 Comments »

 

I was looking for a working script to take full backup (all files+databases+emails) manually or using cron services on my hosting server, each CPanel user by one. But most of the scripts are either old, totally unusable or commercial.
So I wrote one for my own use and sharing here so others don’t need to re-invent the wheel

view source
print?
01<!--?php
02// Must include cPanel API
03include "xmlapi.php";
04  
05//CONFIG SECTION
06//*******************************************************
07// Credentials for cPanel account
08$source_server_ip = "your_domain_or_IP"; // Server IP or domain name eg: 212.122.3.77 or cpanel.domain.tld
09$cpanel_account = "userid"; // cPanel username
10$cpanel_password = "password"; // cPanel password
11// Credentials for FTP remote site
12$ftphost = "ip_or_hostname_of_ftp"; // FTP host IP or domain name
13$ftpacct = "userid"; // FTP account
14$ftppass = "password"; // FTP password
15$logs_dir = "/"; //FTP Remote Folder
16$email_notify = 'your_email@domain.com'; // Email address for backup notification
17$backupexpireindays=21; //3 weeks expire time in days, 21 days = 7*24*60
18//END OF CONFIG SECTION
19//*******************************************************
20//Do not edit below this line
21 
22$backupexpireindays=($backupexpireindays*24)*3600; //convert it to seconds, 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds
23 
24$xmlapi = new xmlapi($source_server_ip);
25$xmlapi--->password_auth($cpanel_account,$cpanel_password);
26$xmlapi->set_port('2083');
27  
28// Delete any other backup with filetime greater than expire time, before create new backup
29$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftphost);
30$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftpacct, $ftppass);
31 
32ftp_chdir($conn_id, $logs_dir);
33$files = ftp_nlist($conn_id, ".");
34foreach ($files as $filename) {
35        $fileCreationTime = ftp_mdtm($conn_id, $filename);
36        //$date = date("F j, Y, g:i a", ftp_mdtm($conn_id, $filename));
37        //print "<br>Timestamp of '$filename': $date";
38        $fileAge=time();
39        $fileAge=$fileAge-$fileCreationTime;
40        if ($fileAge > $backupexpireindays) { // Is the file older than the given time span?
41               //echo "<br>The file $filename is older than Expire time :$expiretime ...Deleting\n";
42               ftp_delete($conn_id, $filename);
43               //echo "<br>Deleted<br><br>";
44               }
45}
46 
47ftp_close($conn_id);
48  
49$api_args = array(
50                           'passiveftp',
51                           $ftphost,
52                           $ftpacct,
53                           $ftppass,
54                           $email_notify,
55                            21,
56                            '/'
57                         );
58  
59$xmlapi->set_output('json');
60print $xmlapi->api1_query($cpanel_account,'Fileman','fullbackup',$api_args);
61  
62?>

You need to save it with .php extension (upload it to your server) and download include file from xmlapi.zip(right click->save as) and extract it to the same folder (on your web server). Create cron job from your CPanel or trigger it manually to get full backup in your FTP server, That’s it.
OR
You can fork from my git hub Repositories at cpanel-Fullbackup

Using CPanel/WHM API to get detail list of all accounts on server

January 26th, 2013 No Comments »

 

Today I had this need to get a list of WHM Accounts using one of its APIs. I have never used it before but it was really simple to use. It returns an xml file that you can manipulate using your prefered language and store it in database for reporting etc.

Here is what you need to do, connect to your server using SSH and run the following command

view source
print?
1wget http://your-server-ip:2086/xml-api/listaccts --http-user=myuser --http-password=mypass --output-document=listaccts.xml

Replace your-server-ip with your WHM’s ip and myuser/mypass with the actual WHM/CPanel password. The resultant xml file will be saved as “listaccts.xml” in the same directory as you ran the command in.

If you feel a bit insecure running these command over SSH or don’t have shell access to the server then visit this page on your browser and save it as an xml file.

view source
print?
1http://your-server-ip:2086/xml-api/listaccts

(again, substitute your-server-ip with the actual WHM ip address, substitute HTTP with HTTPS and port to 2087 for HTTPS if enabled on your server / FQDN)

Enjoy!
