Backupper
Backupper is a tool to backup all your databases spread all over the world!
Installation
$ gem install backupper
Usage
$ backupper path/to/config.yml [options]
Configuration file
A common YAML config file for backupper looks like this:
mailer:
from: support@email.com # Gmail account used to send report email
to: pioz@email.com # Send report email to this address
password: Pa$$w0rD # Gmail account password
db1:
disabled: false # true to disable this backup
dump: '/home/backup/db1' # path where to save the dump of the database
extra_copy: '/mnt/backup-disk/backups/db1' # path where to save a extra copy of the dump
username: user # server ssh username
host: '1.2.3.4' # server ssh ip
port: 22 # server ssh port
password: Pa$$w0rD # server ssh password
adapter: mysql # database to backup (supported are mysql or postgresql)
database: db_name # database name
db_username: db_user # database username
db_password: db_Pa$$w0rD # database password
dump_options: '--single-transaction --quick' # dump command extra options
db2:
disabled: false
dump: '/home/backup/db2'
extra_copy: '/mnt/backup-disk/backups/db2'
username: user
host: '1.2.3.4'
port: 22
password: Pa$$w0rD
adapter: postgresql
database: db_name
db_username: db_user
db_password: db_Pa$$w0rD
After done all backups a report email is sent to you using gmail smtp service (remember to permit less secure app here).
⚠️ WARNING: the backupper configuration file contains many important passwords, so be careful to lock it and protect it with care!
To backup only specific databases you can pass the option -o db1,db3
. In this way only databases under the key db1
and db3
will be backupped,
ignoring the others configuration keys.
