Usage
This cookbook is intended to be a framework to help backup your systems. Some examples below:
MongoDB
backup_install node.name backup_generate_config node.name gem_package "fog" do version "~> 1.4.0" end backup_generate_model "mongodb" do description "Our shard" backup_type "database" database_type "MongoDB" split_into_chunks_of 2048 store_with({"engine" => "S3", "settings" => { "s3.access_key_id" => "example", "s3.secret_access_key" => "sample", "s3.region" => "us-east-1", "s3.bucket" => "sample", "s3.path" => "/", "s3.keep" => 10 } } ) options({"db.host" => "\"localhost\"", "db.lock" => true}) mailto "some@example.com" cron_path "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin" tmp_path "/mnt/backups" cron_log "/var/log/backups.log" action :backup end
PostgreSQL
backup_install node.name backup_generate_config node.name gem_package "fog" do version "~> 1.4.0" end backup_generate_model "pg" do description "backup of postgres" backup_type "database" database_type "PostgreSQL" split_into_chunks_of 2048 store_with({"engine" => "S3", "settings" => { "s3.access_key_id" => "sample", "s3.secret_access_key" => "sample", "s3.region" => "us-east-1", "s3.bucket" => "sample", "s3.path" => "/", "s3.keep" => 10 } } ) options({"db.name" => "\"postgres\"", "db.username" => "\"postgres\"", "db.password" => "\"somepassword\"", "db.host" => "\"localhost\"" }) mailto "sample@example.com" action :backup end
Archiving files to S3
backup_install node.name backup_generate_config node.name gem_package "fog" do version "~> 1.4.0" end backup_generate_model "home" do description "backup of /home" backup_type "archive" split_into_chunks_of 250 store_with({"engine" => "S3", "settings" => { "s3.access_key_id" => "sample", "s3.secret_access_key" => "sample", "s3.region" => "us-east-1", "s3.bucket" => "sample", "s3.path" => "/", "s3.keep" => 10 } } ) options({"add" => ["/home/","/root/"], "exclude" => ["/home/tmp"], "tar_options" => "-p"}) mailto "sample@example.com" action :backup end
It is possible to load the settings in an role or an data bag or leave the settings in a recipe.
