Installing EvoBackup
Backup server side
A rsync daemon launched in server mode.
Client side
-
Git clone the project (i.e in /root/evobackup).
-
Install configuration files.
root@client1:~/evobackup# install.sh client
- Add the zzz_evobackup crontab into the daily cronjobs (recommended):
root@client1:~/evobackup# cp crons/zzz_evobackup /etc/cron.daily/
root@client1:~/evobackup# chmod 700 /etc/cron.daily/zzz_evobackup
Why "zzz"? Because we want the backup cronjob to be the last one.
- Configure the cronjob.
In /etc/evobackup:
-
What to backup using shell scripts in actions.d. By default all scripts are disabled. To enable a script, move it by clearing .disabled part. You can also adapt these scripts or write your own. This will be launched before the rsync, using run-parts.
-
What to backup using rsync filter rules in conf.d/include.cf
-
Incrementals to keep in conf.d/incs.cf
-
General config in conf.d/cron.cf
- Optional, test with
sh -x &, and see if it seems to works.
root@client1:~/evobackup# sh -x /etc/cron.daily/zzz_evobackup &
root@client1:~/evobackup# tail -f /tmp/evobackup.*
If it works, you can wait for it to finish or cancel it.
root@client1:~/evobackup# ^C
root@client1:~/evobackup# fg
root@client1:~/evobackup# ^C
