backup-data

This backup tool was developed to keep the database and files safe.

Backup files are saved in the /backup directory by default.

Configuration

1. First of all, edit database configuration in the config/mysql.conf file following this documentation.
2. List directories and files that need to be save in config/files.list.
3. Edit backup.sh and edit configuration variables in the head of the file.

Manual backup

To start a backup just run :

cd path-to/.../backup-data/
sh backup.sh

Automatic backup

cron is perfect for your job. Just a simple example (at 04:00 on Monday) :

0 6 * * *   root    /usr/bin/bash /path-to/.../backup.sh
