Recently faced with the task of creating server data backups on my vps. Various websites are hosted on it. My personal ones are built on more or less reasonable technologies/engines, so all the code is in version control system. For such sites, only backup of the database and uploaded data is needed. Some third-party sites are built on WordPress, so the source code also needs to be backed up.

So, the task is as follows: with a certain frequency, databases and the contents of certain directories need to be backed up. Backups should be kept for a specific period of time to save space.
