I have a dedicated server at hetzner and they told me the hard drives are broken and they must replace them with new ones.

I MUST back up all my websites and databases, that is my life work!

The problem is that hetzner does not offer support on how to backup.

They told me to access Hetzner Rescue System and I have mounted /dev/md2 to /mnt and I am stuck here.

How can I backup all my websites and databases from ssh?

I can not login to FTP or open my websites in a browser.

Please, this is urgent.

Thank you

your lifes work, and you're backing it up only because a drive is failing ? o_O

there's very little information to go on here, but generally you'll want scp.

You actually have multiple options, and in the future I hope that you setup some daily / weekly backups of your system.

Also, if you hosting provider is unable to clone your dives when they need to replace them in the hardware that you are renting from them, I would suggest you fins a better provider...

As mentioned by Sirex, you could use SCP, or even use SFTP which is FTP over ssh.

To do the latter, you can even use most FTP clients (such as FileZilla) that have support built in.

scp is a program acailable on most unix based machines, if your client happens to be windows, SFTP might be your best solution.
