REVERTED
Changes below have been reverted on 09.10.2015, as there were problems with Xen.
History
- 13.09.2015
- backup moved to /mnt/backup
- 14.09.2015
- REVERTED as /mnt/backup was re-mounted read-only due to errors
- 15.09.2015
- Ran badblocks command. Did not find errors.
sudo badblocks -v /dev/xvdf > /home/alvaro/badblocks
- 16.09.2015
- Remounted /mnt/backup. /var/backups now points to /mnt/backup
sudo umount /mnt/backup sudo mount -t ext4 -o remount,rw /dev/xvdf /mnt/backup
- 17.09.2015
- REVERTED as /mnt/backup was re-mounted read-only due to errors
- 01.10.2015
- After checking with Wolfram Fritsch, remounted /mnt/backup. /var/backups now points to /mnt/backup
- 09.10.2015
- REVERTED. All changes have been reverted, as there are problems with the integration of the backup partition and Xen. As I have no access to the virtual machine's hypervisor and Wolfram Fritsch has not been able to solve the problem, I have reverted all the changes to the previous situation. So Backups are being made, but they are on the same machine as the operating system.
TODO
Backups can now be saved to a backup drive. The drive in mounted on /mnt/backup. Previously, backups were saved to /mnt/dump/var/backups. Note: /var/backups is a link to /mnt/dump/var/backups.
Backup of /etc/backupscripts/ in /etc/backupscripts.20150911
Set DBBAKDIR_ROOT="/mnt/backup" in these scripts in /etc/backupscripts:
- daily_bak_entry.sh
- daily_bak_master.sh
The following scripts are unchanged, as they take their paths from daily_bak_master.sh:
- daily_bak_mysql.sh
- daily_bak_svn.sh
- daily_bak_settings.sh
- daily_bak_wiki_media.sh
Copied everything from /mnt/dump/var/backups into /mnt/backup, keeping owners, permissions and timestamps
sudo cp -rp /mnt/dump/var/backups/DAILY /mnt/backup sudo cp -rp /mnt/dump/var/backups/WEEKLY /mnt/backup sudo cp -rp /mnt/dump/var/backups/MONTHLY /mnt/backup sudo cp -p /mnt/dump/var/backups/* /mnt/backup
/var/backups now points to /mnt/backup, as the scripts which create apt-, dpkg-, passwd-, group-, gshadow- and shadow-backups have hard coded the path to /var/backups.
Cron has to be restarted to reload files which are not in /etc/cron.d
sudo service cron restart
