Scheduled FXP/SFTP to MinIO Backup with Preserved Folder Structure
# Automated FP/SFP to MinIO Object Backup with Scheduling
→ Can work with FP/SFP Servers like your WordPress Website!
## What this workflow does?
This workflow performs automated, periodic backups of files from an FP or SFP server directory to a MinIO S3 bucket running locally or on a dedicated container/VM/server. It can also work if the MinIO bucket is running on a remote cloud provider's infrastructure; you just need to change the URL and keys.
## Who's this intended for?
Storage administrators, cloud architects, or DevOps who need a simple and scalable solution for retrieving data from a remote FP or SFP Server.
This can also be practical for WordPress Devs that need to backup data from a server hosting a WordPress Website. In that case, you'll just need to specify the folder that you want to backup (could be one from wordpress/uploads or even the root one).
## How it works
This workflow uses commands to list and download files from a specific directory on an FP-SFP Server, then sends them to MinIO using their version of the S3 API.
The source directory can be a specific one or the entire server (the root directory).
## Requirements
None, just a source folder/directory on an FP/SFP Server and a destination bucket on MinIO. You'll also need to get MinIO running. You're using Proxmox VE? Create a MinIO LXC Container: https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=minio
## Need a Backup from another Cloud Storage Provider?
Need automated backup from another Cloud Storage Provider?
→ Check out our templates, we've done it with AWS, Azure, and GCP, and we even have a version for FP/SFP servers!
⚫ These workflows can be integrated into bigger ones and modified to best suit your needs! You can, for example, replace the MinIO node with another S3 Bucket from another Cloud Storage Provider (Backblaze, Wasabi, Scaleway, OVH, ...).
