vbbu

Virtualbox BackUp

A script to run backups on VMs running under Virtualbox on Linux.

* Important: requires https://github.com/guideloom/gl_functions.sh to be installed *

This script will create either clones or OVA export backups on selected VMs. This should be run using the same user that runs the virtualbox VMs.

Command line options:

Usage: ./vbbu [--verbose] [--syslog] [--syslogid SYSLOG_ID_STRING] [--dryrun] [--help|-h]
          [--list PATH_TO_VM_FILE_LIST] [--state running|stopped|paused|saved|poweroff] [--type ova|clone]
          [--exportdir PATH_TO_VM_EXPORT_FOLDER] [--backupdir PATH_TO_VM_BACKUP_FOLDER] [--confdir PATH_TO_CONF_FILES]
          [--acpi] [--noconf] [--nodays] [--runbackup] [--backupgroup GROUPNAME]
          [--acpiwaittime N] [--acpiwaitcycles N] [--acpiwaitpoweroff]
          [--versions N] [--daystokeep N] [VMNAME|VMUUID]...

 Version : 2.32
       --verbose      = print lines as they run. Useful for debugging only
       --syslog       = send output to syslog as well as stdout [Default: 0]
       --syslogid     = syslog id string to send to syslog [Default: vbbu]
       --list         = full path to list of VMs to backup
       --noconf       = do not use config files. Master conf file/vm conf files under conf folder (/etc/vbbu.d) are ignored
       --nodays       = ignore days option in conf files. Translation: run every day. [Default: off]
       --state        = only backup VMs whose status is one of running|stopped|paused|saved|poweroff. [Default: not set, aka any]
       --type         = type of backup to create. One of ova|clone. [Default: ova]
       --exportdir    = path to temporary export directory, [Default: /mnt/lv001-r0/backup/vms]
       --backupdir    = path to final backup directory. [Default: /mnt/usb1/backup/vms]
       --backupgroup  = group folder under backup directory. [Default: ]
       --versions     = number of versions to keep in BACKUPDIR. [Default: 2]
       --daystokeep   = number of days to keep backups for. Ones older are removed. [Default: 0]
                        Note: if daystokeep is set, this OVERRIDES the --versions option.
       --acpi         = issue acpishutdown instead of savestate. Fixes bug in vbox 5.X sometimes causes kernel panic on vm restart.
       --acpiwaittime     = number of seconds to wait between acpi shutdown checks. [Default: 5]
       --acpiwaitcycles   = number of cycles to check for acpi shutdown. [Default: 50]
       --acpiwaitpoweroff = if after acpiwaitcycles, the VM still hasn't shutdown, try a forced poweroff, otherwise skip
       --dryrun       = Limited run. Display commands, and do not run them. [Default: off]
       --help         = this help info
       --runbackup    = Actually run. Safety switch. Prevents accidently running backups and pausing VMs

       VMNAME|VMUUID  = VM to backup. Can list more then one. If not set, fallback to list.

  Note: Options can also be set in /etc/vbbu.conf or /etc/vbbu.d/VMNAME.conf

Option evaluation order in highest to lowest priority

command line option
VMNAME machine config (/etc/vbbu.d/VMNAME.conf)
global config (/etc/vbbu.conf)
defaults (variables set in vbbu.sh file)

VMs to backup come are set in the following order

VMs passed on the command line
VM file list specified with the --list option
output from : vboxmanage list vms

note: VMs with spaces " " in their name are not supported at this time. Sorry.

vbbu will attempt to put a running VM into "savestate" before running a backup. This saves the machine state and closes all attached data files so a backup can occur. After the initial clone is completed, the VM will be restarted into it's previous state before the backup.

NOTE: with Virtualbox 6.0.10 (all versions of 6 earlier then 6.0.10?) there is a bug in which if the VM is on an NFS (and possibly SMB) share, AND you use "savestate", the clone of the VM will fail with error VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005). This is a known issue. (https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18811). The workaround is to either run Virtualbox 5.2.X, or move your VMs to a local ext4 filesystem, or use the acpi option outlined below. Will update this if there are changes.

Config Variables

These variables are set either by default (in the shell script itself), the master config file (/etc/vbbu.conf), the individual VM config file (under /etc/vbbu.d) or on the command line.

Config variable names are always converted to lower case.

confdir (CLI: --confdir FOLDERPATH) [default: /etc/vbbu.d]

path to the individual VM config files; naming VMNAME.conf
- conffile for VM called "webserver" would be /etc/vbbu.d/webserver.conf
EX: confdir=/etc/vbbu.d

noconf (CLI: --noconf) [default: 0]

do not use config files.
- /etc/vbbu.conf and confdir files are ignored
EX: noconf=0 (0=no, 1=yes)

exportdir (CLI: --exportdir FOLDERPATH) [default: /mnt/lv001-r0/backup/vms]

path to "fast" local disk. Ideally this is local SSD.
This is the initial VM export. The disk must have enough space to hold a clone, and possibly an OVA export.
in order to minimize downtime on any VM, vbbu will try to restart the VM being backed up as soon as it can.
Once restarted, the clone, or OVA export is moved to the slower long term storage, backupdir.
exportdir should already exist, and be writeable by the user running the backup script.
EX: exportdir=/path/to/local/ssd/vmbackup

backupdir (CLI: --backupdir FOLDERPATH) [default: /mnt/usb1/backup/vms]

path to long term backup disk.
After the initial clone or OVA export, backups are moved here. This disk must be sized to accomodate the current and previous versions of backups. (see "versions" config variable).
backupdir should already exist, and be writeable by the user running the backup script.
EX: backupdir=/path/to/externalnas/vmbackup

versions (CLI: --versions N) [default: 4]

number of previous versions of backups to keep in backupdir
values are rotated out, with the oldest backup being deleted to make room for the new one, in syslog fashion
example names: vmname, vmname.1, vmname.2, vmname.3
EX: versions=4

daystokeep (CLI: --daystokeep N) [default: 0]

number of days to keep previous backups in backupdir
backups older than this number of days are removed
If set, this option overrides --versions
names of backup folders are also changed to reflect timestamps and not versions.
example names: vmname.20190605-031256, vmname.20190606-030832, vnmame.20190628-134503
EX: daystokeep=14

syslog (CLI: --syslog) [default: 0]

logs are normally just sent to the local stdout. Enabling this option will also send logs to syslog
EX: syslog=0 (0=no, 1=yes)

syslogid (CLI: --syslogid SYSLOGID_STRING) [default: vbbu]

if syslog is enabled, the syslog id to tag all syslog entries with
EX: syslogid=vbbu

list (CLI: --list FILEPATH) [default: not set]

if set, grab the list of VMs to backup from the file.
One VM per line
comments allowed

state (CLI: --state STATE) [default: not set]

if set, only backup VMs in the state passed
Current supported states are : running, stopped, paused, saved, poweroff
EX: state=running

type (CLI: --type TYPE) [default: ova]

the backup type to run on a VM
current supported types are : ova, clone
clone backups MUST be done for all backups as a first step. One the clone is compelted, the VM is restarted.
clone backups are a simple clone of the VM. These run the fastest, but take the most disk.
ova backups are an OVA export of the clone created above. These take longer, but can take 50% less disk. These are also much easier to import into virtualbox (or other VM techs)
EX: type=ova

days [default: not set]

Simple scheduling. Run backups for the VMs on the days listed. Not set = all days.
day name (Mon, Tue, ..) whatever date +%a returns, or day of month number (01..31), or combination
if the word "never" is set, the VM is never backed up
EX: days=Mon,Wed,01,15

nodays (CLI: --nodays) [default: 0]

if set, ignore any "days" setting in the config files
EX: nodays=0 (0=no, 1=yes)

acpi (CLI: --acpi) [default: 0]

if set, issue an "acpipowerbutton" to shutdown the VM instead of a "savestate"
NOTE: SOME VM guests (possible bug in virtualbox 5.X?) may encounter a kernel panic when the system is restarted if the guest was shutdown using "savestate". We noticed this with Ubuntu 18 guests. The work around is to issue an acpipowerbutton option instead of savestate for those VM guests only. IMPORTANT: the acpi daemon MUST be installed on the VM guest for this to work correctly. (See below)

runbackup (CLI: --runbackup) [default: 0]

safety switch
the script will only run if runbackup is set to 1. Otherwise this will exit immediatly
prevents "accidental" script runs, thus causing a VM to shutdown
EX: runbackup=0 (0=no, 1=yes)

dryrun (CLI: --dryrun) [default: 0]

if set, do a dry run. Do not execute commands, just show them.
EX: dryrun=0 (0=no, 1=yes)

ACPI daemon install

   # apt install acpid

Sample acpi files

/etc/acpi/power.sh

  #!/bin/bash
  /sbin/shutdown -h now "Power button pressed"

/etc/acpi/events/power

  event=button/power
  action=/etc/acpi/power.sh "%e"

/etc/default/acpid

  OPTIONS="-l"
  MODULES="all"

restart acpid daemon with

  /etc/init.d/acpid restart

Examples:

vbbu --syslog --runbackup

run a backup on all VMs listed by vboxmanage list vms, log all output to syslog. This should be the most common type used. I have this as my nightly cronjob

vbbu --syslog --runbackup --acpi webserver

run a backup on the VM called "webserver" and log output to syslog. Issue an acpipowerbutton instead of savestate

vbbu --dry-run --runbackup --type ova --list /etc/vm.lst

run a dry-run backup on all VMs listed in /etc/vm.lst in ova format

Sample output and syslog output
