Where to use

So now we know what we can do with this script. Below I listed some things where and how you can use this script to make your life as a webdeveloper/webmaster easier.

* You have created a demo of an web application that you have created but you want to restore each evening the database and the files to an original state so that the demo stay’s clean and professional. With Abs and cron you can restore your demo application to a clean state each evening.
* Your client emails you that there is big error in his application and that it needs to be fixed right away. To only problem is that you’re not at home and you don’t know the server FTP login. That’s a problem … or not. You login to the Abs system on your client his server, and create a backup of his last files. Download it to your computer and do some changes to a file. Create a zip of the changed files and deploy this to the server with Abs. If after deployment something is wrong with your code you can always rollback to that latest backup.
* You want to have a local copy of all the server files. Normally if you want to copy all your files with FTP this takes a long time. With Abs this is a task that only takes an minute or two. Backup the files and download that ZIP to your computer.
