|
|
|
(pseudo) incremental backup
|
|
with different exclude lists
|
|
using hardlinks and `rsync`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
`ccollect` is a backup utility written in the sh-scripting language.
|
|
It does not depend on a specific shell, only `/bin/sh` needs to be
|
|
bourne shell compatible (like 'dash', 'ksh', 'zsh', 'bash', ...).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supported and tested operating systems and architectures
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
`ccollect` was successfully tested on the following platforms:
|
|
|
|
- GNU/Linux on amd64/hppa/i386/ppc
|
|
- FreeBSD on amd64/i386
|
|
- NetBSD on alpha/amd64/i386/sparc/sparc64
|
|
- OpenBSD on amd64
|
|
|
|
It *should* run on any Unix that supports `rsync` and has a POSIX-compatible
|
|
bourne shell. If your platform is not listed above and you have it successfully
|
|
running, please drop me a mail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why you COULD only backup from remote hosts, not to them
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
While considering the design of ccollect, I thought about enabling
|
|
backup to *remote* hosts. Though this sounds like a nice feature
|
|
('Backup my notebook to the server now.'), in my opinion it is a
|
|
bad idea to backup to a remote host.
|
|
|
|
But as more and more people requested this feature, it was implemented,
|
|
so you have the choice whether you want to use it or not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reason
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
If you want to backup *TO* a remote host, you have to loosen security on it.
|
|
|
|
Imagine the following situation: You backup your farm of webservers *TO*
|
|
a backup host somewhere else.
|
|
Now one of your webservers which has access to your backup host gets
|
|
compromised.
|
|
|
|
Your backup server will be compromised, too.
|
|
|
|
And the attacker will have access to all data on the other webservers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doing it securely
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
Think of it the other way round: The backup server (now behind a
|
|
firewall, not accessable from outside) connects to the
|
|
webservers and pulls the data *from* them. If someone gets access to one
|
|
of the webservers, this person will perhaps not even see your machine. If
|
|
the attacker sees connections from a host to the compromised
|
|
machine, she will not be able to log in on the backup machine.
|
|
All other backups are still secure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Incompatibilities
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
Versions 0.6 and 0.7
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
.The format of `destination` changed:
|
|
- Before 0.7 it was a (link to a) directory
|
|
- As of 0.7 it is a textfile containing the destination
|
|
|
|
You can update your configuration using `tools/config-pre-0.7-to-0.7.sh`.
|
|
|
|
.Added 'remote_host'
|
|
- As of 0.7 it is possible to backup *to* hosts (see section remote_host below).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Versions 0.5 and 0.6
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
.The format of `rsync_options` changed:
|
|
- Before 0.6 it was whitespace delimeted
|
|
- As of 0.6 it is newline seperated (so you can pass whitespaces to `rsync`)
|
|
|
|
You can update your configuration using `tools/config-pre-0.6-to-0.6.sh`.
|
|
|
|
.The name of the backup directories changed:
|
|
- Before 0.6: "date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M"
|
|
- As of 0.6: "date +%Y%m%d-%H%M" (better readable, date is closer together)
|
|
|
|
For the second change there is no updated needed, as XXXX- is always before
|
|
XXXXX (- comes before digit).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Versions 0.4 and 0.5
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
Not a real incompatibilty, but seems to fit in this section:
|
|
|
|
.0.5 does *NOT* require
|
|
- PaX
|
|
- bc
|
|
|
|
anymore!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Versions < 0.4 and 0.4
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Since `ccollect` 0.4 there are several incompatibilities with earlier
|
|
versions:
|
|
|
|
.List of incompatibilities
|
|
- `pax` (Posix) is now required, `cp -al` (GNU specific) is removed
|
|
- "interval" was written with two 'l' (ell), which is wrong in English
|
|
- Changed the name of backup directories, removed the colon in the interval
|
|
- ccollect will now exit when preexec returns non-zero
|
|
- ccollect now reports when postexec returns non-zero
|
|
|
|
You can convert your old configuration directory using
|
|
`config-pre-0.4-to-0.4.sh`, which can be found in the *tools/*
|
|
subdirectory:
|
|
|
|

Cutting and pasting the complete section above to your shell will result in
|
|
the download of ccollect, the creation of a sample configuration and the
|
|
execution of some backups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Installing ccollect
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
For the installation you need at least
|
|
|
|
- the latest ccollect package (http://unix.schottelius.org/ccollect/)
|
|
- either `cp` and `chmod` or `install`
|
|
- for more comfort: `make`
|
|
- for rebuilding the generated documentation: additionally `asciidoc`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using ccollect
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
.Running ccollect requires the following tools to be installed:
|
|
- `date`
|
|
- `rsync`
|
|
- `ssh` (if you want to use rsync over ssh, which is recommened for security)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing
|
|
----------
|
|
Either type 'make install' or simply copy it to a directory in your
|
|
$PATH and execute 'chmod *0755* /path/to/ccollect.sh'. If you would
|
|
like to use the new management scripts (available since 0.6), copy
|
|
the following scripts to a directory in $PATH:
|
|
|
|
- `tools/ccollect_add_source.sh`
|
|
- `tools/ccollect_analyse_logs.sh.sh`
|
|
- `tools/ccollect_delete_source.sh`
|
|
- `tools/ccollect_list_intervals.sh`
|
|
- `tools/ccollect_logwrapper.sh`
|
|
|
|
After having installed and used ccollect, report success using
|
|
'./tools/report_success.sh'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuring
|
|
-----------
|
|
For configuration aid have a look at the above mentioned tools, which can assist
|
|
you quite well. When you are successfully using `ccollect`, report success using
|
|
`tools/report_success.sh`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Runtime options
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
`ccollect` looks for its configuration in '/etc/ccollect' or, if set, in
|
|
the directory specified by the variable '$CCOLLECT_CONF':
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
# sh-compatible (dash, zsh, mksh, ksh, bash, ...)
|
|
$ CCOLLECT_CONF=/your/config/dir ccollect.sh ...
|
|
|
|
# csh
|
|
$ ( setenv CCOLLECT_CONF /your/config/dir ; ccollect.sh ... )
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When you start `ccollect`, you have to specify in which interval
|
|
to backup (daily, weekly, yearly; you can specify the names yourself, see below)
|
|
and which sources to backup (or -a to backup all sources).
|
|
|
|
The interval specifies how many backups are kept.
|
|
|
|
There are also some self-explanatory parameters you can pass to ccollect,
|
|
simply use `ccollect.sh --help` for info.
|
|
|
|
|
|
General configuration
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
The general configuration can be found in $CCOLLECT_CONF/defaults or
|
|
/etc/ccollect/defaults. All options specified there are generally valid for
|
|
all source definitions, although the values can be overwritten in the source
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
All configuration entries are plain-text files (use UTF-8 for non-ascii characters).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interval definition
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
The interval definition can be found in
|
|
'$CCOLLECT_CONF/defaults/intervals/' or '/etc/ccollect/defaults/intervals'.
|
|
Each file in this directory specifies an interval. The name of the file is
|
|
the same as the name of the interval: `intervals/'<interval name>'`.
|
|
|
|
The content of this file should be a single line containing a number.
|
|
This number defines how many versions of this interval are kept.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
[10:23] zaphodbeeblebrox:ccollect-0.2% ls -l conf/defaults/intervals/
|
|
insgesamt 12
|
|
-rw-r--r-- 1 nico users 3 2005-12-08 10:24 daily
|
|
-rw-r--r-- 1 nico users 3 2005-12-08 11:36 monthly
|
|
-rw-r--r-- 1 nico users 2 2005-12-08 11:36 weekly
|
|
[10:23] zaphodbeeblebrox:ccollect-0.2% cat conf/defaults/intervals/*
|
|
28
|
|
12
|
|
4
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
This means to keep 28 daily backups, 12 monthly backups and 4 weekly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
General pre- and post-execution
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
If you add '$CCOLLECT_CONF/defaults/`pre_exec`' or
|
|
'/etc/ccollect/defaults/`pre_exec`' (same with `post_exec`), `ccollect`
|
|
will start `pre_exec` before the whole backup process and
|
|
`post_exec` after backup of all sources is done.
|
|
|
|
The following example describes how to report free disk space in
|
|
human readable format before and after the whole backup process:
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
[13:00] hydrogenium:~# mkdir -p /etc/ccollect/defaults/
|
|
[13:00] hydrogenium:~# echo '#!/bin/sh' > /etc/ccollect/defaults/pre_exec
|
|
[13:01] hydrogenium:~# echo '' >> /etc/ccollect/defaults/pre_exec
|
|
[13:01] hydrogenium:~# echo 'df -h' >> /etc/ccollect/defaults/pre_exec
|
|
[13:01] hydrogenium:~# chmod 0755 /etc/ccollect/defaults/pre_exec
|
|
[13:01] hydrogenium:~# ln -s /etc/ccollect/defaults/pre_exec /etc/ccollect/defaults/post_exec
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
General delete_incomplete
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
If you add '$CCOLLECT_CONF/defaults/`delete_incomplete`', this
|
|
option applies for all sources. See below for a longer
|
|
explanation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Source configuration
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Each source configuration exists in '$CCOLLECT_CONF/sources/$name' or
|
|
'/etc/ccollect/sources/$name'.
|
|
|
|
The name you choose for the subdirectory describes the source.
|
|
|
|
Each source contains at least the following files:
|
|
|
|
- `source` (a text file containing the `rsync` compatible path to backup)
|
|
- `destination` (a text file containing the directory we should backup to)
|
|
|
|
Additionally a source may have the following files:
|
|
|
|
- `verbose` whether to be verbose (passes -v to `rsync`)
|
|
- `very_verbose` be very verbose (`mkdir -v`, `rm -v` and `rsync -vv`)
|
|
- `summary` create a transfer summary when `rsync` finished
|
|
|
|
- `exclude` exclude list for `rsync`. newline seperated list.
|
|
- `rsync_options` extra options for `rsync`. newline seperated list.
|
|
|
|
- `pre_exec` program to execute before backing up *this* source
|
|
- `post_exec` program to execute after backing up *this* source
|
|
|
|
- `delete_incomplete` delete incomplete backups
|
|
- `remote_host` host to backup to
|
|
|
|
|
|

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Detailed description of "source"
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
`source` describes a `rsync` compatible source (one line only).
|
|
|
|
For instance 'backup_user@foreign_host:/home/server/video'.
|
|
To use the `rsync` protocol without the `ssh`-tunnel, use
|
|
'rsync::USER@HOST/SRC'. For more information have a look at the manpage
|
|
of `rsync`(1).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Detailed description of "destination"
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
`destination` must be a text file containing the destination directory.
|
|
`destination` *USED* to be a link to the destination directory in
|
|
earlier versions, so do not be confused if you see such examples.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
[11:36] zaphodbeeblebrox:ccollect-0.2% cat conf/sources/testsource2/destination
|
|
/home/nico/backupdir
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Detailed description of "remote_host"
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
`remote_host` must be a text file containing the destination host.
|
|
If this file is existing, you are backing up your data *TO* this host
|
|
and *not* to you local host.
|
|
|
|
*Warning*: You need to have `ssh` access to the remote host. `rsync` and
|
|
`ccollect` will connect to that host via `ssh`. `ccollect` needs the shell
|
|
access, because it needs to find out how many backups exist on the remote
|
|
host and to be able to delete them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
[10:17] denkbrett:ccollect-0.7.0% cat conf/sources/remote1/remote_host
|
|
home.schottelius.org
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
It may contain all the ssh-specific values like 'myuser@yourhost.ch'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Detailed description of "verbose"
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
`verbose` tells `ccollect` that the log should contain verbose messages.
|
|
|
|
If this file exists in the source specification *-v* will be passed to `rsync`.
|
|
|
|
`
|
|
Example:
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
[11:35] zaphodbeeblebrox:ccollect-0.2% touch conf/sources/testsource1/verbose
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Detailed description of "very_verbose"
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
`very_verbose` tells `ccollect` that it should log very verbosely.
|
|
|
|
If this file exists in the source specification *-v* will be passed to
|
|
`rsync`, `rm` and `mkdir`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
[23:67] nohost:~% touch conf/sources/testsource1/very_verbose
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Detailed description of "summary"
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
If you create the file `summary` in the source definition,
|
|
`ccollect` will present you a nice summary at the end.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|

You could also combine it with `verbose` or `very_verbose`, but these
|
|
already print some statistics (though not all / the same as presented by
|
|
`summary`).

|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
`exclude` specifies a list of paths to exclude. The entries are seperated by a newline (\n).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
[11:35] zaphodbeeblebrox:ccollect-0.2% cat conf/sources/testsource2/exclude
|
|
openvpn-2.0.1.tar.gz
|
|
nicht_reinnehmen
|
|
etwas mit leerzeichenli
|
|
something with spaces is not a problem
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Detailed description of "intervals/"
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
When you create the subdirectory `intervals/` in your source configuration
|
|
directory, you can specify individiual intervals for this specific source.
|
|
Each file in this directory describes an interval.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
[11:37] zaphodbeeblebrox:ccollect-0.2% ls -l conf/sources/testsource2/intervals/
|
|
insgesamt 8
|
|
-rw-r--r-- 1 nico users 2 2005-12-07 17:38 daily
|
|
-rw-r--r-- 1 nico users 3 2005-12-14 11:33 yearly
|
|
[11:37] zaphodbeeblebrox:ccollect-0.2% cat conf/sources/testsource2/intervals/*

Detailled description of "rsync_options"
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
When you create the file `rsync_options` in your source configuration,
|
|
all the parameters in this file will be passed to rsync. This
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
[23:42] hydrogenium:ccollect-0.2% cat conf/sources/test_rsync/rsync_options
|
|
--password-file=/home/user/backup/protected_password_file
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Detailled description of "pre_exec" and "post_exec"
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
When you create `pre_exec` and / or `post_exec` in your source
|
|
configuration, `ccollect` will execute this command before and
|
|
respectively after doing the backup for *this specific* source.
|
|
If you want to have pre-/post-exec before and after *all*
|
|
backups, see above for general configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
[13:09] hydrogenium:ccollect-0.3% cat conf/sources/with_exec/pre_exec
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
# Show whats free before
|
|
df -h
|
|
[13:09] hydrogenium:ccollect-0.3% cat conf/sources/with_exec/post_exec
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
# Show whats free after
|
|
df -h
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Detailed description of "delete_incomplete"
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
If you create the file `delete_incomplete` in a source specification directory,
|
|
`ccollect` will look for incomplete backups (when the whole `ccollect` process
|
|
was interrupted) and remove them. Without this file `ccollect` will only warn
|
|
the user.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hints
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Smart logging
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Since ccollect-0.6.1 you can use the ccollect-logwrapper.sh(1) for logging.
|
|
You call it the same way you call ccollect.sh and it will create a
|
|
logfile containing the output of ccollect.sh. For more information look
|
|
at the manpage 'ccollect-logwrapper'. The following is an example running
|
|
ccollect-logwrapper.sh:
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
u0219 ~ # ~chdscni9/ccollect-logwrapper.sh daily u0160.nshq.ch.netstream.com
|
|
ccollect-logwrapper.sh (11722): Starting with arguments: daily u0160.nshq.ch.netstream.com
|
|
ccollect-logwrapper.sh (11722): Finished.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using a different ssh port
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Mostly easy is to use your ~/.ssh/config file:
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
host mx2.schottelius.org
|
|
Port 2342
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you only use that port for backup only and normally want to use another port,
|
|
you can add 'HostName' and "HostKeyAlias" (if you also have different
|
|
keys on the different ports):
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Host hhydrogenium
|
|
Hostname bruehe.schottelius.org
|
|
Port 666
|
|
HostKeyAlias hydrogenium
|
|
|
|
Host bruehe
|
|
Hostname bruehe.schottelius.org
|
|
Port 22
|
|
HostKeyAlias bruehe.schottelius.org
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using source names or interval in pre_/post_exec scripts
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
The pre-/post_exec scripts can access some internal variables from `ccollect`:
|
|
|
|
- INTERVAL: The interval specified on the command line
|
|
- no_sources: number of sources
|
|
- source_$NUM: the name of the source
|
|
- name: the name of the currently being backuped source (not available for
|
|
generic pre_exec script)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using rsync protocol without ssh
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
When you have a computer with little computing power, it may be useful to use
|
|
rsync without ssh, directly using the rsync protocol
|
|
(specify 'user@host::share' in `source`). You may wish to use
|
|
`rsync_options` to specify a password file to use for automatic backup.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
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
|
|
this_is_the_rsync_password
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
This hint was reported by Daniel Aubry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not excluding top-level directories
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
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, `ccollect` will backup empty directories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
===========================================
|
|
When those directories contain hidden files
|
|
(those beginning with a dot (*.*)),
|
|
they will still be transferred!
|
|
===========================================
|
|
This hint was reported by Marcus Wagner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Re-using already created rsync-backups
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
If you used `rsync` directly before you use `ccollect`, you can
|
|
use this old backup as initial backup for `ccollect`: You
|
|
simply move it into a directory below the destination directory
|
|
and name it "'interval'.0".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
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
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Now you can use /home/backup/web1 as the `destination` for the backup.
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
It does not matter anymore how you name your directory, as `ccollect` uses
|
|
the -c option from `ls` to find out which directory to clone from.
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
Older versions (pre 0.6, iirc) had a problem, if you named the first backup
|
|
something like "daily.initial". It was needed to use the "*0*" (or some
|
|
number that is lower than the current year) as extension. `ccollect`
|
|
used `sort` to find the latest backup. `ccollect` itself uses
|
|
'interval.YEARMONTHDAY-HOURMINUTE.PID'. This notation was *always* before
|
|
"daily.initial", as numbers are earlier in the list
|
|
which is produced by `sort`. So, if you had a directory named "daily.initial",
|
|
`ccollect` always diffed against this backup and transfered and deleted
|
|
files which where deleted in previous backups. This means you simply
|
|
wasted resources, but your backup had beer complete anyway.
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using pre_/post_exec
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Your pre_/post_exec script does not need to be a script, you can also
|
|
use a link to
|
|
|
|
- an existing program
|
|
- an already written script
|
|
|
|
The only requirement is that it is executable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using source specific interval definitions
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
When you are backing up multiple hosts via cron each night, it may be
|
|
a problem that host "big_server" may only have 4 daily backups, because
|
|
otherwise its backup device will be full. But for all other hosts
|
|
you want to keep 20 daily backups. In this case you would create
|
|
`/etc/ccollect/default/intervals/daily` containing "20" and
|
|
`/etc/ccollect/sources/big_server/intervals/daily` containing "4".
|
|
|
|
Source specific intervals always overwrite the default values.
|
|
If you have to specify it individually for every host, because
|
|
of different requirements, you can even omit creating
|
|
`/etc/ccollect/default/intervals/daily`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Comparing backups
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
If you want to see what changed between two backups, you can use
|
|
`rsync` directly:
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
[12:00] u0255:ddba034.netstream.ch# rsync -n -a --delete --stats --progress daily.20080324-0313.17841/ daily.20080325-0313.31148/
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
This results in a listing of changes. Because we pass -n to rsync no transfer
|
|
is made (i.e. report only mode)"
|
|
|
|
This hint was reported by Daniel Aubry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testing for host reachabilty
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
If you want to test whether the host you try to backup is reachable, you can use
|
|
the following script as source specific pre-exec:
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
# ping -c1 -q `cat "/etc/ccollect/sources/$name/source" | cut -d"@" -f2 | cut -d":" -f1`
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This prevents the deletion of old backups, if the host is not reachable.
|
|
|
|
This hint was reported by Daniel Aubry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Easy check for errors
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
If you want to see whether there have been any errors while doing the backup,
|
|
you can run `ccollect` together with `ccollect_analyse_logs.sh`:
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
$ ccollect | ccollect_analyse_logs.sh e
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
F.A.Q.
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
What happens if one backup is broken or empty?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Let us assume that one backup failed (connection broke or the source
|
|
hard disk had some failures). Therefore we've got one incomplete backup in our history.
|
|
|
|
`ccollect` will transfer the missing files the next time you use it.
|
|
This leads to
|
|
|
|
- more transferred files
|
|
- much greater disk space usage, as no hardlinks can be used
|
|
|
|
If the whole `ccollect` process was interrupted, `ccollect` (since 0.6) can
|
|
detect that and remove the incomplete backups, so you can clone from a complete
|
|
backup instead
|
|
|
|
|
|
When backing up from localhost the destination is also included. Is this a bug?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
No. `ccollect` passes your source definition directly to `rsync`. 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 `destination`
|
|
to 'source/exclude'. (Daniel Aubry reported this problem)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why does ccollect say "Permission denied" with my pre-/postexec script?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
The most common error is that you have not given your script the correct
|
|
permissions. Try `chmod 0755 /etc/ccollect/sources/'yoursource'/*_exec``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why does the backup job fail when part of the source is a link?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
When a part of your path you specified in the source is a
|
|
(symbolic, hard links are not possible for directories) link,
|
|
the backup *must* fail.
|
|
|
|
First of all, let us have a look at how it looks like:
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
==> ccollect 0.4: Beginning backup using interval taeglich <==
|
|
[testsource] Sa Apr 29 00:01:55 CEST 2006 Beginning to backup
|
|

|
|
[testsource] Beginning to backup, this may take some time...
|
|

|
|
[testsource] rsync: stat "/etc/ccollect/sources/testsource/destination/taeglich.2006-04-29-0001.3874/home/user/nico/projekte/ccollect" failed: No such file or directory (2)
|
|
[...]
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
So what is the problem? It is very obvious when you look deeper into it:
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
% cat /etc/ccollect/sources/testsource/source
|
|
/home/user/nico/projekte/ccollect/ccollect-0.4
|
|
% ls -l /home/user/nico/projekte
|
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 nico nico 29 2005-12-02 23:28 /home/user/nico/projekte -> oeffentlich/computer/projekte
|
|
% ls -l /etc/ccollect/sources/testsource/destination/taeglich.2006-04-29-0001.3874/home/user/nico
|
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 nico nico 29 2006-04-29 00:01 projekte -> oeffentlich/computer/projekte
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
`rsync` creates the directory structure before it creates the symbolic link.
|
|
This link now links to something not reachable (dead link). It is
|
|
impossible to create subdirectories under the broken link.
|
|
|
|
In conclusion you cannot use paths with a linked part.
|
|
|
|
However, you can backup directories containing symbolic links
|
|
(in this case you could backup /home/user/nico, which contains
|
|
/home/user/nico/projekte and oeffentlich/computer/projekte).
|
|
|
|
|
|
How can I prevent missing the right time to enter my password?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
As `ccollect` first deletes the old backups, it may take some time
|
|
until `rsync` requests the password for the `ssh` session from you.
|
|
|
|
The easiest way not to miss that point is running `ccollect` in `screen`,
|
|
which has the ability to monitor the output for activity. So as soon as
|
|
your screen beeps, after `ccollect` began to remove the last directory,
|
|
you can enter your password (have a look at screen(1), especially "C-a M"
|
|
and "C-a _", for more information).
|
|
|
|
|
