Backup Script

Software License Latest Version

This script runs and creates daily (stored for 7 days), weekly (stored for 28 days) and monthly (stored for 365 days) of a local webroot and complete database backup of MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and SQLite. Each is tared and gzipped and placed in a directory of your choosing and then optionally synched with an Amazon S3 Bucket for off-site storage.

Installation

  • Manual

    • In your local directory type: wget http://github.com/jtyost2/S3_Backup/zipball/master
    • Unzip that download.

  • Git Clone

    • In your local directory type: git clone git://github.com/jtyost2/S3_Backup.git S3_Backup

Usage

Prerequisite Tools

  1. Command Line S3 Client: http://s3tools.org/s3cmd
  2. Optional AmazonS3 Bucket: http://aws.amazon.com/s3/

Setup

There is a batch of configuration settings needed to get this running. These are in the config.sh.default shell script and none of the them need to be in quotes (as far as I have tested). Copy and rename the config.sh.default to config.sh and set the values to your particular setup. Copy and rename the tar_exclude.txt.default to tar_exclude.txt and add any paths/files to be excluded from the tar backup to this file.

Possible Issues When Using

  1. S3Cmd needs to be configured first before use
  2. Recommend use case for running this is via a cron job, ensure the user the cron is running under has access to run the script and the correct permissions for access.
