Simple Backuper

Simple script provides basic functionality to make a db and files backup and send it to Amazone S3

Installation

Download the script and provide +x mode

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DarvinStudio/simple-backuper/master/backup.sh
chmod +x backup.sh

Install s3cmd, in Debian-base just

apt-get install s3cmd

Configure s3cmd, input access and secret key. Another settings aren't matter right now.

s3cmd --configure

Setup the backup

Creating the bucket, type any bucket name instead of {mybucketname}

s3cmd --acl-private --bucket-location=EU mb s3://{mybucketname}

Check that everythins is correct and the bucket is created

s3cmd ls

Now you can just run the script with parameters

1. Path where copies will be stored on local file syste
2. Path to files needed to be backuped
3. Db name to be backuped
4. Bucket name created on the previous step

For example

backup.sh /var/backups/mysitename/ /var/www/mysitename.ru/ mydbname mynewbuckentname

If everything is correct next step will be to setup cron, for example once per day at 1AM

crontab -e
00 1 * * * /bin/bash /pathtoscript/backup.sh /var/backups/mysitename/ /var/www/mysitename.ru/ mydbname mynewbuckentname

2. The script connect to database using root login without password. If you have a password, modifi the script as you need
