ttools-backups

Helps you to use Terminal Tools to perform backups. As local backups are mostly part of the sitesync modules, this module focuses mainly on remote backups.

Installation and setup of backup to separate server

1. Add module: git submodule add https://github.com/titledk/ttools-backups.git ttools/backups;
2. Add a Backups environment to config.yml - this is the environment that we'll be backing up to.
3. Make sure that servers that need to be backed up can access the Backups environment!
   Do so by adding the server's public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the backup server
4. Set up a cronjob, see below

Configuration example

Environments:
  Live:
    Host: "xxx"
    Sshuser: "xxx"
    Repodir: "xxx"
    Backups:
      RemoteBackupPath: "xxx"
      RemoteBackupKeep: 96
  Backups:
    Host: "xxx"
    Repodir: "xxx"
    Sshuser: "xxx"

Cronjob setup

This is a good default, using the default settings:

• every 8 hours a local backup is created, 6 are kept
• every 8 hours a remote backup is created, 24 are kept
