#Cloner Cloner is a tool to backup ftp-directories to your local machine. It´s written in PHP using the CodeIgniter framework. Cloner is a command-line-script and you can run it as a cronjob. After each run it could send you a status mail.

Call Cloner like this: usr/bin/php PATH/TO/SCRIPT/Cloner/index.php Cloner clone_all

You need the following tables in application/database/cloner.sqlite

CREATE TABLE backups
(
    backupsid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    folder TEXT,
    timestamp INTEGER,
    projectsid INTEGER
);

CREATE TABLE projects
(
    projectsid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    ftp_host TEXT,
    ftp_user TEXT,
    ftp_password TEXT,
    db_host TEXT,
    db_user TEXT,
    db_password TEXT,
    skip INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    ftp_dir TEXT,
    interval INTEGER DEFAULT 10,
    last_clone TEXT,
    destination TEXT
);

###Warning

1. Cloner is more of an exercise than a real world solution ;)
2. There is just little output on th command-line, little error-handling and no messaging.
3. Use at you own risk. Don´t use it as your one and only backup system.
