− | To restore a backup try something like:
| |
− | | |
− | duplicity restore -t 7D --restore-time <yyyy/mm/dd --file-to-restore <source/path/to/restore/from> scp://sugarbackup@backup.sugarlabs.org/backup/<machine.sugarlabs.org> </destination/path/to/restore/to>
| |
− | | |
− | * Replace <> with your values | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Example:
| |
− | | |
− | duplicity restore -t 7D --restore-time 2000/01/01 --file-to-restore var/lib/mysql/wordpress scp://sugarbackup@backup.sugarlabs.org/backup/sunjammer.sugarlabs.org /home/bernie/restore/wordpress

− | This is the main backup server for all [[Machine|Sugarlabs Machines]]
| |

| | | |
− | == Upgrade notes ==
| + | This is the main backup script for all [[Machine|Sugar Labs Machines]]. It's a minimalist script based on rsync and keeps a history of N days using hard-links. While it's very very simple, wizbackup gets the job done and has the added benefit of not requiring any tools to read or restore a backup. The advantage over similar backup solution is that backups are just plain filesystem snapshots of the source machines; the main disadvantage is poor performance with large files which change often, such as logs or databases (my solution is to exclude these and backup the data using ad-hoc methods, such as SQL dumps). |
| | | |
| + | The `wizbackup-driver` script runs daily on the backup servers from `/etc/cron.daily/wizbackup`. |
| + | It reads a list of hostnames to backup from `/backup/HOSTS/<machine-group-name>` and an optional list of files exclusions from `/backup/EXCLUDES`, in the same format taken by the `--exclude` flag of rsync. |
| | | |
| + | For each machine in the list, `wizbackup-driver` invokes `wizbackup` with this command-line: |
| | | |
− | == See Also ==
| + | wizbackup <hostname>:/ <local-backup-dir> --exclude-file /backup/EXCLUDE/ALWAYS --exclude-file /backup/EXCLUDE/<hostname> |
| | | |
− | * There are instructions on how to set up a backup here: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Infrastructure_Team/Template_virtual_machine_lucid
| + | Wizbackup uses rsync and ssh to connect to the remote machine. Hence, the backup server must be authorized to connect as root to all backup hosts (e.g.: by storing the identity in `/root/.ssh/authorized_keys`). Wizbackup reads the ssh private key from `/etc/wizbackup/ssh_id`). |
