To start back up of new application use the template in "new_app" directory

In the "new_app.conf" file:
Set app_name and snap_dir.
Also you can change when the full backup must be performed and how long data should be stored.
Save this file as "app_name.conf".

In the "new_app.sh" file:
Change source_file to your app_name.conf.

For database backup add (or uncomment) these line(s):
../scripts/mysql_dump.sh $source_file your_db_name
../scripts/mysql_dump.sh $source_file db2_name

For data backup add (or uncomment) these line(s):
../scripts/data_backup.sh $source_file /path/to/directory

To remove files older than days specified in your app_name.conf file:
../scripts/rotate.sh $source_file data/$app_name.tar.gz
../scripts/rotate.sh $source_file db/your_db_name.sql.tar.gz
../scripts/rotate.sh $source_file db/db2_name.sql.tar.gz

Save this file as "app_name.sh".
Do the following command:
chmod +x app_name.sh

That's all regarding to application.

File "common.conf" contains common settings for all applications.
Everything is commented here.
For example you can change email addresses to receive logs about backups.
Please take a look into this file and check if everything is right.


Now you just need to add the task to you crontab to do an automatic backups.

You can quickly do this with the "cron_install.sh" file:

For every application you need to add these lines (don't forget to change app number in "app#_name"):

Setup application name:
app#_name="app_name"

Just change app_number:
grep -v "# $app#_name backup" tmpcron > temp; mv temp tmpcron

Just change all app_numbers (even after the comment character). And of course dont forget to setup appropriate cron time:
echo "* * * * * cd /root/backup/$app#_name && ./$app#_name.sh > $app#_name.log 2>&1 # $app#_name backup" >> tmpcron

Please see an existing example in the file if there is some misunderstood.
