Hello,
I am trying to backup my site to my home computer.
But the site has user uploaded images and total directory size reaches to 5GB. I tried to download root folder by FTP software but it has been 3 days and it is still downloading. There have been also many connection timeouts which makes me think the backup might be broken.
I have SSH access to server. I thought to ZIP compress the root folder on server side and download the archive file instead.
Do you recommend backing up the site by compressing and downloading the archive file? I have some concerns that the file permissions or other file attributes may change when I compress the whole site.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks
