Automated FTP/SFTP to MinIO Object Backup with Scheduling

$\mapsto$ Can work with FTP/SFTP Servers like your Wordpress Website !

What does this workflow do?

This workflow performs automated, periodic backups of files from a FTP or SFTP 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 FTP or SFTP 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 a FTP-SFTP Server, then send 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 a FTP/SFTP Server and a destination bucket on MinIO. You'll also need to get MinIO running. Are you 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?

$\mapsto$ Check out our templates, we've done it with AWS, Azure, and GCP, and we even have a version for FTP/SFTP servers!

$\odot$ These workflows can be integrated to bigger ones and modified to best suit your needs! You can, for example, replace the MinIO node to another S3 Bucket from another Cloud Storage Provider (Backblaze, Wasabi, Scaleway, OVH, ...)
