You can view the source code, get help, and contribute to this cookbook on GitHub.

Requirements

• You must have PHP installed on the system. On Ubuntu you can do that with this command:

  sudo apt-get install php5-cli php5-mysql php5-curl

Usage

Place the php_backup_s3::default cookbook in your run_list. This will install php_backup_s3 on your node and setup the cron job to run the backups.

Once the php_backup_s3::default cookbook as been run, you will need to call either or both of the LWRPs in order to actually back up files and/or databases, as follows:

php_backup_s3 "etc" do

  backup_files %w(/etc /root)

  databases = []
  databases << {
    "hostname" => "host",
    "username" => "user",
    "password" => "pass",
    "password" => "pass",
    "query" => "SELECT * WHERE 1 = 1"
  }
  backup_dbs databases

end

Please see the recipes/test.rb file for an example.
