 Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2005 2:28 pm Post subject: A backup script using flexbackup and scp |
 |
|
I worte a little script for backing up directories of chooise
The scripts uploads the backed up files to a server via scp.
First you will have to emerge flexbackup
Then you have to change a variabel in the /etc/flexbackup.conf
look for
| Code: | | # $set{'set1'} = "/home /usr"; |
Uncomment it set the dirs you want to backup there.
I have:
| Code: |
$set{'set1'} = "/etc /boot /var/www";
|
Then you can download the script and change the variables on the top.
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
#THE BACKUP WILL BE STORED IN $BACKUP_DIR/$DATE.
#The dirs to backup are defined in /etc/flexbackup.conf with the variable $set{'set1'}
#I will change this later.
#Variables used later.
BACKUP_DIR="/root/backup" #the backup dir on localhost
BACKUP_SERVER="serv1" #the server where you want to move your backup
USER="root" #the user you want to connect as.
DATE="$(date +%H:%M-%d.%m.%Y)" #This is the format for a dated dir.
DIR="/backup" #the backup dir on your server
LOG_DIR="/var/log/flexbackup/" #the dir where you want to store your log files.
LOG_FILENAME="log" #The filename of the log.
#Variables finished
clear
#Check if $LOG_DIR exists, if not the script will create it.
if [ -d $LOG_DIR ]
then
echo The log directory exists.
else
mkdir $LOG_DIR
fi
# Check if $BACKUP_DIR/today exists, if not the script will create it.
if [ -d $BACKUP_DIR/today ]
then
echo The today directory exists.
else
mkdir $BACKUP_DIR/today
fi
#Done createing dir's, now starting backup.
echo
echo Checking syntax and starting backup
flexbackup -set all -device $BACKUP_DIR/today > $LOG_DIR/$LOG_FILENAME-$DATE && #Runing flexbackup.
cd $BACKUP_DIR
mkdir $DATE
mv $BACKUP_DIR/today/* $BACKUP_DIR/$DATE
#Finished backing up now were going to upload and delete the files on localhost.
scp -r $BACKUP_DIR/$DATE $USER@$BACKUP_SERVER:$DIR #This will upload the files to your server.
#DELETING FILES.This will delete the backup files on localhost. Comment out if you want to
rm -rf $BACKUP_DIR/$DATE
rm -rf $BACKUP_DIR/today
|
You can also use this script to backup to a harddrive with out using scp, just comment out the last 3 commands and the files will be stored on your localhost.
I hope some of you will find this usefull. |
