A local or remote file & database backup script tailored for multiple virtualhost backups. Yet it actually works for a lot of backup tasks.
## About
OBackup is designed from ground to make the backup process as reliable as possible.
It divides the whole backup process into tasks, allowing each task to execute for a certain amount of time.
If a task doesn't finish in time, it's stopped and the next task is processed.
Before a task gets stopped, a first warning message is generated telling the task takes too long.
Every action gets logged, and at the end of the backup process, if there was a warning, a stopped task or an error an email will be sent.
Every action gets logged, and at the end of the backup process, if there was a warning,
a stopped task or an error an alert email will be sent.
Obackup manages to backup MariaDB / MySQL databases and files (with or without root rights).
OBackup can enumerate and backup all MariaDB / MySQL databases present on a server.
It can also enumerate all subdirectories of a given path and process them as separate tasks (usefull for multiple vhosts).
It will do several checks before launching a backup like checking backup size and available local disk space.
Obackup will work well to backup to a snapshot aware filesystem like ZFS or btrfs.
In case you don't work with one of these, it may also rotate backups for you.
As of today, obackup has been tested successfully on RHEL / CentOS 5, CentOS 6, Debian 6.0.7 and Linux Mint 14
but it should basically run on any linux flavor. It relies on well known programs like rsync, ssh, mysqldump along
with other great GNU coreutils.
## Installation
You can download the latest obackup script from authors website.
You may also clone this git which will maybe have some recent bugfixes.
$ git clone git://github.com/sickill/bitpocket.git
$ chmod +x ./bin/obackup.sh
Once you have grabbed a copy of Obackup, just edit it with your favorite text editor to setup your environment
and you're ready to run.
You can run multiple instances of obackup scripts with different backup environments. Just copy the script to another
filename, edit it's environment and you're ready to run concurrently.
