BackupScript for Dspace ()

dspace_backup.sh

This is the Origional Copy From Gibson (R.I.P)
Create local backup script

Here is a sample script to make local backups which are then sent to the remote backup server.

Type the following.

sudo nano /usr/local/bin/backup.sh

Now copy and paste the following into the open editor and modify the backup variables to suit your location and server.

    Replace %hostname% with the hostname of your server.
    Replace %email-address% with the email address of the person responsible for server backups.

#!/bin/bash

# Setup shell to use for backups
SHELL=/bin/bash

# Setup name of local server to be backed up
SERVER="%hostname%"

# Setup event stamps
DOW=`date +%a`
TIME=`date`

# Setup paths
FOLDER="/home/backup"
FILE="/var/log/backup-$DOW.log"

# Do the backups
{
echo "Backup started: $TIME"

# Make the backup folder if it does not exist
if test ! -d /home/backup
then
  mkdir -p /home/backup
  echo "New backup folder created"
  else
  echo ""
fi

# Make sure we're in / since backups are relative to that
cd /

# Get a list of the installed software
dpkg --get-selections > $FOLDER/installed-software-$DOW.txt

## PostgreSQL database (Needs a /root/.pgpass file)

    echo "SQL dump of PostgreSQL databases"

    cp /tmp/dspace-db.sql $FOLDER/dspace-db-$DOW.sql
    su - postgres -c "vacuumdb --analyze dspace > /dev/null 2>&1"
fi

# Backup MySQL database (Needs a /root/.my.cnf file)

    echo "SQL dump of MySQL databases"
    mysqldump -A > $FOLDER/mysql-db-$DOW.sql
