BackupDriver

BackupDriver is a tool created to backup files from Unix systems. It's was created to address some very specific personal needs:

• Backup log files to Amazon S3 and remove them from the server
• Backup local mysql databases to Amazon S3

The generated backup file is encrypted using gpg and sent to Amazon S3. The operations are performed using tools that must be installed on the system:

• gpg
• s3cmd
• mysqldump

Backup is another tool that you might be interested in checking out. It's scope is much broader. So it can be useful in many situations that are not covered by BackupDriver.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'backup_driver'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install backup_driver

backup_driver backup --source /var/log/nginx --bucket "s3://mybucket" --gpg-options "--recipient 'my@email.com'"

CAUTION: BackupDriver removes the log files after sending them to Amazon S3. If you don't want that to happen, please consider using a different tool or change the code to suite your needs.

backup_driver mysql --name db_name --user db_user --password db_password --gpg-options "--recipient 'my@email.com'"
