Backup Scripts

Various backup scripts for backing up your Shared Hosting account on Kaizen Gardens Shared Hosting service. Can also be used for backing up data on Joyent SmartMachines and TextDrive's legacy Shared Hosting service.

Getting Started

Currenty expects to be run under SmartOS zones (useful if you're on a Kaizen Gardens Shared Hosting account on SmartOS or a Joyent SmartMachine).

SSH Keys

Best to use seperate private/public key-pairs to authenticate to different services.

In ~/.ssh/config use something like:

Host example.strongspace.com
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa-strongspace

MySQL

Expects a ~/.my.cnf file to be configured:

[client]
user = username
password = password
MYSQL_DAYS_TO_KEEP=14
Key Type Description Example
MYSQL_DAYS_TO_KEEP string Number of days worth of backups to store (it removes files older than X days based on the file modification time) 14

PostgreSQL

Expects a ~/.pgpass file to be configured.

PGSQL_DAYS_TO_KEEP=14
Key Type Description Example
PGSQL_DAYS_TO_KEEP string Number of days worth of backups to store (it removes files older than X days based on the file modification time) 14

Offsite Backups

Presently supports backing up to a remote SFTP location.

#
# Backup Host
#
BACKUP_OFFSITE_ENABLED=yes
BACKUP_HOST=sftp.example.com
BACKUP_USER=username
BACKUP_REMOTE_DIR=/path/to/backups/

RSYNC_OPTS=--delete-after
Key Type Description Example
BACKUP_OFFSITE_ENABLED string Is offsite backup syncing enabled yes
BACKUP_HOST string Hostname or IP Address of the server where files are backed up to sftp.siberia.co.za
BACKUP_USER string Username on the server specified in BACKUP_HOST jacques
BACKUP_REMOTE_DIR string The remote diretory where files are uploaded to /users/home/jacques/remote-backups/joey/
RSYNC_OPTS string Specifies options to rsync. To do a "dry run" use --dry-run. --delete-after

Generate a SSH public/private key-pair

Generate a public/private key-pair without a passphrase so that backups can be uploaded offsite without prompting to enter a password or a pass phrase to unlock the ssh private key.

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -N ''

You may want to store this to generated key-pair to ~/.ssh/id_rsa-strongspace for a public/private key-pair you just use with StrongSpace.

Configuration files

Copy config.example to config so that the configuration can be sourced by the various scripts.
