Backup current Ezeelogin installation
Execute the following script on your server to generate a backup of your installation so that you can restore the backup in case the upgrade breaks.Run /usr/local/sbin/backup_ezlogin.php -help for help menu.
root@gateway:~$/usr/local/sbin/backup_ezlogin.php
The directory /var/log/ezlogin stores the user ssh sessions that is recorded. This dir could run into huge size ( 1GB >) which would cause the backup_ezlogin.php script to take long to complete ( The ssh logs recorded has to be tar 'red and the gzip 'ed compressed which is time and resource intensive) . In such, cases its advisable to skip the ssh logs directory while running the backup _ezlogin.php script as follows so that a backup archive is created super quick.
[root@gateway ~]# /usr/local/sbin/backup_ezlogin.php -nologs
By default, the backup archives are created in /var/ directory. To change the destination directory, use
[root@gateway ~]#php /usr/local/sbin/backup_ezlogin.php -out /backup_directory/
This would create a executable archive of your ezeelogin installation in /var/ezlogin_backup_v6.2.0_b167_Fri_Mar_02_2012_04_23_22_CST.bin
Execute the backup bin file to restore if something goes wrong and you would like to revert.
