simple automated backup of apache (your websites) - anyweb - 2004-12-30

the lan ftp server is a windows box, its only a local ftp, no access from the outside (internet)

so i was hoping to modify the above script to do the following:

* after the backup file has been created, login to the ftp server, and check if there are any files present

* if the number of files present is 2 or less then start uploading the current backup

* if the number of files present is 3 or more, delete the oldest file, and start uploading the current backup

that's all i want it to do

help !

cheers

Hi,

I aint that good with shell script but heres a solution in perl :)

you can run it via command prompt:

Code:
perl -e 'use Net::FTP; $Host = "10.0.0.14"; $username = "test"; $password = "test123"; $ftp = Net::FTP->new($Host, Debug => 0) || die "Could not connect to ftp $@"; $ftp->login($username, $password) || die "Could not login" .$ftp->message; $ftp->put("Test.log", "Test.log") || die "failed to upload" . ftp->message; $ftp->quit;'

well thats all thats needed ;)

As an alternative you can always set up a ssh connection between the two computers using ssh-keygen and then use rsync -ave ssh!

ok i'm still playing with this and now i want to backup the mysql database weekly also, the exact same way as i am doing with apache.

the command to backup the database is executed from

/usr/local/mysql/bin

and it's

Code:
./mysqldump -u USER -p DATA >> forums_export.sql

i then have to input the root password

so, how can i automate this ? any ideas :)

cheers

ok i've tried but its not working totally right

have a look at my script now

Code:
#!/bin/sh

/bin/tar -jcf /backup/apache_backup_`date | awk '{print $2}'`_`date | awk '{print $3}'`_`date | awk '{print $6}'`.tar.bz2 /usr/local/apache/ 1&>/dev/null 2&>/dev/null

# How many files would you like to keep?

KEEP=2

# Where are the files stored?

BACKUPDIR=./backup

# DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW

if [ `ls -1 $BACKUPDIR|wc -l` -gt $KEEP ]; then

      i=1

      for each in `ls -1t $BACKUPDIR`; do

              if [ $i -gt $KEEP ]; then

                      rm -f $BACKUPDIR/$each

              fi

              i=`expr $i + 1`

      done

fi

#setting paths and files

#setting log path

tmp=$tmp

file=/backup/apache_backup_`date | awk '{print $2}'`_`date | awk '{print $3}'`_`date | awk '{print $6}'`.tar.bz2 >>$tmp/apachebackup.txt

space=`du -sh $file | awk '{print $1}'`

date=`date`

echo -n "" >$tmp/apachebackup.txt

echo "Hi anyweb, i am the backup tool from linux-noob.com, i got a new backup for you" >>$tmp/apachebackup.txt

echo "the new file is $file and has $space" >>$tmp/apachebackup.txt

echo "the date is $date" >>$tmp/apachebackup.txt

cat $tmp/apachebackup.txt | mail anyweb@linux-noob.com -s 'new backup'

rm -rf $tmp/apachebackup.txt

echo -e "Enjoy"

#backup mysql

./mysqldump -u USER-p PASSWORD DATABASENAME >> /backup/forums_export_`date | awk '{print $2}'`_`date | awk '{print $3}'`_`date | awk '{print $6}'`.sql

checking /backup i now have as follows:

Quote:ls -al /backuptotal 5433644

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 2 18:13 .

drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Feb 2 18:13 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1929071275 Feb 2 18:13 apache_backup_Feb_2_2005.tar.bz2

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1814359745 Jan 23 05:33 apache_backup_Jan_23_2005.tar.bz2

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1815163094 Jan 30 05:32 apache_backup_Jan_30_2005.tar.bz2

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 2 18:13 forums_export_Feb_2_2005.sql

there should only be TWO apache backups, and one forums backup. That part looks ok but the script is erroring out on me...\

the errors i get after the script is done are

Quote:[root@www cron.weekly]# ./apache.cronls: ./backup: No such file or directory

Enjoy

./apache.cron: line 44: ./mysqldump: No such file or directory

i've fixed the mysqldump error with

cd /usr/local/mysql/bin && ./mysqldump......

but i don't get the other one ?

Hey, stray . in the BACKUPDIR=/backup <--

Slight cleaning of the script (which I like btw :))

Code:
#!/bin/sh

# from and to directories, and tmp directory

BUPDIR='/backup'

SRCDIR='/usr/local/apache'

TMP='/tmp'

# keep how many?

KEEP=2

# DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW

##############################

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin

# current date

DATE=`date | awk '{ print $3"_"$6 }'`

# filename

FILE="${BUPDIR}/apache_backup_${DATE}.tar.bz2"

# do the backup

tar -jcf $FILE $SRCDIR >/dev/null 2>&1

if [ `ls -1 $BUPDIR | wc -l` -gt $KEEP ]; then

   i=1

   for each in `ls -1t $BUPDIR`; do

       if [ $i -gt $KEEP ]; then

           rm -f -- ${BUPDIR}/${each}

       fi

       let "i = i + 1"

   done

fi

Hi anyweb,

I'm the backup tool from linux-noob.com and I've got a new backup for you.

The new file is ${FILE} and has `du -sh $FILE | awk '{print $1}'`

Forums:

The forums backup is now: `du -sh ${BUPDIR}/forums_export.sql | awk '{print $1}'`

Have a nice day,

simple automated backup of apache (your websites) - anyweb - 2006-01-03

thanks znx !

now onto my next issue, ive installed Gallery, and its working nicely, however by copying over the entire photos from 2005 to my personal website, the backup file is going to be close to 7GB in size, so what i want to do is to exclude the following path from the backup

Code:
/usr/local/apache/websites/.../family/gallery2/g2data/albums/2005

how do i EXCLUDE the above path and all files in it from the backup script i'm currently using ?

thanks in advance !

the ... is simply representing some other folders removed for clarity

simple automated backup of apache (your websites) - hijinks - 2006-01-03

--exclude dirName

add that to the tar command

thanks dude but something is seriously wrong here,

i've changed the script and ran it to test it, before i ran it, approx 15gb free on the hdd (if not more)

now its at

Code:
[root@www /]# df -h

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00

                   36G   27G  6.7G  81% /

/dev/hda1              99M   23M   72M  24% /boot

/dev/shm              125M     0  125M   0% /dev/shm

and the script isnt complete yet (started hours ago, 5 or six hours ago....)

here's a copy of the script, please tell me what is causing it to nosedive my server

Code:
#!/bin/sh

# from and to directories, and tmp directory

BUPDIR='/backup'

SRCDIR='/usr/local/apache'

TMP='/tmp'

# keep how many?

KEEP=2

# DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW
