I configured Debian 7 with Lighttpd + MySQL + PHP + Wordpress on a 128MB VPS. All worked fine. Last week, the server HDD crashed and all VPS needed to be re-created. Because it was a small VPS and cheap, the host did not offer any backup. I really did not expect any crashes to happen and I did not have any active content on the VPS. But, I had done a lot of configuration for setting up an optimized version of lighttpd, mysql, php and wordpress manually on the Debian server.
a. Is there any way to backup/ replicate the setup configuration so that I can use it later if needed? b. Will I be able to restore the configurations on the same vps/ a new vps should something like this happen in future? c. I also tweaked wordpress. is it possible to simply save the whole wordpress somewhere so that I can restore it without least hassel?
Thanks in advance for your help.
