<h2>1. Introduction</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="sectionbody">
|
|
|
|
|
<p>ccollect is a backup utitily written in the sh-scripting language.
|
|
|
|
|
It does not depend on a specific shell, only <tt>/bin/sh</tt> needs to be
|
2006-01-22 12:27:12 +00:00
|
|
|
bourne shell compatibel (like <em>dash</em>, <em>ksh</em>, <em>zsh</em>, <em>bash</em>, …).</p>

|
|
|
<h3>1.1. Why you can only backup TO localhost</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>While thinking about the design of ccollect, I thought about enabling
|
|
|
|
|
backup to <strong>remote</strong> hosts. Though this sounds like a nice feature
|
|
|
|
|
(<em>Backup my notebook to the server now.</em>), it is in my opinion a
|
|
|
|
|
bad idea to backup to a remote host, because you have to open
|
|
|
|
|
security at your backup host. Think of the following situation: You backup
|
|
|
|
|
your farm of webservers <strong>to</strong> a backup host somewhere else. One of
|
|
|
|
|
your webservers gets compromised, then your backup server will be compromised,
|
|
|
|
|
too. Think of it the other way round: The backup server (now behind a
|
|
|
|
|
firewall using NAT and strong firewall rules) connects to the
|
2006-02-05 23:46:50 +00:00
|
|
|
webservers and pulls the data <strong>from</strong> them. If someone gets access to one
|
|
|
|
|
of the webservers, the person will perhaps not even see your machine. If
|
2006-01-13 22:48:41 +00:00
|
|
|
he/she sees that there are connections from a host to the compromised
|
|
|
|
|
machine, he/she will not be able to login to the backup machine.
|
|
|
|
|
All other backups are still secure.</p>

<h2>4. Configuring</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="sectionbody">
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>4.1. Runtime options</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>ccollect</tt> looks for its configuration in <em>/etc/ccollect</em> or, if set, in
|
|
|
|
|
the directory specified by the variable <em>$CCOLLECT_CONF</em>
|
|
|
|
|
(use <em>CCOLLECT_CONF=/your/config/dir ccollect.sh</em> on the shell).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When you start <tt>ccollect</tt>, you have either to specify which intervall
|
|
|
|
|
to backup (daily, weekly, yearly; you can specify the names yourself, see below).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The intervall is used to specify how many backups to keep.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There are also some self explaining parameters you can pass to ccollect, simply use
|
|
|
|
|
"ccollect.sh —help" for info.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>4.2. General configuration</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The general configuration can be found below $CCOLLECT_CONF/defaults or
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/ccollect/defaults. All options specified here are generally valid for
|
|
|
|
|
all source definitions. Though the values can be overwritten in the source
|
|
|
|
|
configuration.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>All configuration entries are plain-text (use UTF-8 if you use
|
|
|
|
|
non ASCII characters) files.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>4.2.1. Intervall definition</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The intervall definition can be found below
|
|
|
|
|
<em>$CCOLLECT_CONF/defaults/intervalls/</em> or <em>/etc/ccollect/defaults/intervalls</em>.
|
|
|
|
|
Every file below this directory specifies an intervall. The name of the file is the
|
|
|
|
|
name of the intervall: <tt>intervalls/<em><intervall name></em></tt>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The content of this file should be a single line containing a number.
|
|
|
|
|
This number defines how many versions of this intervall to keep.</p>
|
|
|
|
|

<h4>4.3.8. Detailled description of "rsync_options"</h4>
|
2006-01-16 17:57:31 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>When you create the file <tt>rsync_options</tt> below your source configuration,
|
2006-01-13 22:48:41 +00:00
|
|
|
all the parameters found in this file will be passed to rsync. This
|
2006-01-16 17:57:31 +00:00
|
|
|
way you can pass additional options to rsync. For instance you can tell rsync
|
|
|
|
|
to show progress ("—progress") or which -password-file ("—password-file")
|
|
|
|
|
to use for automatic backup over the rsync-protocol.</p>

<h3>5.1. Using rsync protocol without ssh</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When you have a computer with little computing power, it may be useful to use
|
|
|
|
|
rsync without ssh, directly using the rsync protocol
|
|
|
|
|
(specify <em>user@host::share</em> in <tt>source</tt>). You may wish to use
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>rsync_options</tt> to specify a password file to use for automatic backup.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="listingblock">
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="content">
|
|
|
|
|
<pre><tt>backup:~# cat /etc/ccollect/sources/sample.backup.host.org/source
|
|
|
|
|
backup@webserver::backup-share
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
backup:~# cat /etc/ccollect/sources/sample.backup.host.org/rsync_options
|
|
|
|
|
--password-file=/etc/ccollect/sources/sample.backup.host.org/rsync_password
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
backup:~# cat /etc/ccollect/sources/sample.backup.host.org/rsync_password

<h3>5.2. Not-excluding top-level directories</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When you exclude "/proc" or "/mnt" from your backup, you may run into
|
|
|
|
|
trouble when you restore your backup. When you use "/proc/*" or "/mnt/*"
|
|
|
|
|
instead <tt>ccollect</tt> will backup empty directories.</p>

<h3>5.3. Re-using already created rsync-backups</h3>
|
2006-01-17 12:08:05 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>If you used <tt>rsync</tt> directly before you use <tt>ccollect</tt>, you can
|
|
|
|
|
use this old backup as initial backup for <tt>ccollect</tt>: You
|
|
|
|
|
simply move it into a subdirectory named "<em>intervall</em>.0".</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="listingblock">
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="content">
|
|
|
|
|
<pre><tt>backup:/home/backup/web1# ls
|
|
|
|
|
bin dev etc initrd lost+found mnt root srv usr vmlinuz
|
|
|
|
|
boot doc home lib media opt sbin tmp var vmlinuz.old
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
backup:/home/backup/web1# mkdir daily.0
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# ignore error about copying to itself
|
|
|
|
|
backup:/home/backup/web1# mv * daily.0 2>/dev/null
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
backup:/home/backup/web1# ls
|
|
|
|
|
daily.0</tt></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div></div>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Now you could use /home/backup/web1 as the <tt>destination</tt> for the backup.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="admonitionblock">
|
|
|
|
|
<table><tr>
|
|
|
|
|
<td class="icon">
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="title">Note</div>
|
|
|
|
|
</td>
|
|
|
|
|
<td class="content">
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Do <strong>not</strong> name the first backup something like "daily.initial", but use
|
|
|
|
|
the "<strong>0</strong>" (or some very low number, at least lower than the current year)
|
|
|
|
|
as extension. <tt>ccollect</tt> uses <tt>sort</tt> to find the latest backup. <tt>ccollect</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
itself uses <em>intervall.YEAR-MONTH-DAY-HOUR:MINUTE.PID</em>. This notation will
|
|
|
|
|
<strong>always</strong> be before "daily.initial", as numbers are earlier in the list
|
|
|
|
|
which is produced by <tt>sort</tt>. So, if you have a directory named "daily.initial",
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>ccollect</tt> will always diff against this backup and transfer and delete
|
|
|
|
|
files which where deleted in previous backups. This means you simply
|
|
|
|
|
waste resources, but your backup will be complete.</p>

<h3>5.4. Using pre_/post_exec</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Your pre_/post_exec script does not need to be a script, you can also
|
|
|
|
|
use a link to</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>

an existing program

</li>
|

<li>
|

<p>
|

an already written script

</p>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The only requirement is that it is executable.</p>

<h3>6.1. What happens, if one backup is broken or empty?</h3>
|
2006-02-24 08:41:44 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>Let us assume, that one backup failed (connection broke or the source
|
|
|
|
|
hard disk had some failures). So we've one backup in our history,
|
|
|
|
|
which is incomplete.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The next time you use <tt>ccollect</tt>, it will transfer the missing files.
|
|
|
|
|
This leads to</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
more transferred files
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
much greater disk space usage, as no hardlinks can be used
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>

<h3>6.2. When backing up from localhost the destination is also included. Is this a bug?</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>No. <tt>ccollect</tt> passes your source definition directly to <tt>rsync</tt>. It
|
|
|
|
|
does not try to analyze it. So it actually does not know if a source
|
|
|
|
|
comes from local harddisk or from a remote server. And it does not want
|
|
|
|
|
to. When you backup from the local harddisk (which is perhaps not
|
|
|
|
|
even a good idea when thinking of security) add the <tt>destination</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
to <em>source/exclude</em>. (Daniel Aubry reported this problem)</p>
|
2006-01-22 12:27:12 +00:00
|
|
|
<h3>6.3. Why does ccollect say "Permission denied" with my pre-/postexec script?</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The most common error is to not give your script the correct
|
2006-01-27 22:07:35 +00:00
|
|
|
permissions. Try <tt>chmod 0755 /etc/ccollect/sources/<em>yoursource</em>/*_exec</tt>`.</p>
