HSTQ Toolkit

Examples and official downloads

Download an example script or continue to the official website for the client or driver you need. Review the code, replace the sample parameters and test recovery in an isolated environment before production use.

Backup scripts

Backup examples for Linux and Windows

Choose the example for your operating system, review every command and configure your own destination. Do not store passwords or private keys in the script; use a protected secret store and a dedicated least-privilege account.

backup.sh

Educational example that archives a directory and sends the copy through rsync over SSH, FTP/FTPS or S3-compatible storage.

  • Examples for SSH keys, lftp and the AWS CLI
  • Local archive rotation
  • Example cron schedule
Download Bash script

backup.ps1

Educational PowerShell example using the WinSCP .NET assembly for SFTP/FTPS and S3-compatible storage.

  • Compatible with Windows Server 2016 and later
  • Automatic cleanup of old ZIP archives
  • Step-by-step comments

A script alone is not a backup strategy. Use separate storage, define retention, monitor failures and test restoration regularly.

Starter archive

A practical website starting point

A small landing-page foundation with Organization and WebSite structured data, favicon files, robots.txt, sitemap.xml and an example .htaccess with HTTPS redirects and security headers.

starter_site.zip

An archive containing index.html, styles and basic SEO markup. Use it as a starting point, then replace all example content and settings before deployment.

  • JSON-LD structured data for Organization and WebSite
  • Example robots.txt, sitemap.xml and favicon.ico
  • .htaccess with HTTPS redirect and cache-control examples
