Configuration

MySQL Settings

Database, backup filename prefix and system dir settings in mysql_backup file:

# prefix of archive file
PREFIX="mysql"
# backup dir
BACKUPDIR="/usr/local/sbin/mysql_backup/backup"
# mysql access
MYSQLUSER="root"
MYSQLPASS=""
MYSQLHOST="localhost"
# databases
# comment this string for backup all databases
#DATABASES="test"

Backup scripts configure

This script is able to send backups to different services (FTP, mail, Amazon c3). For each service, there is an executive configuration file in the folder mysql_backup.d

For example, if you want to store backups only on FTP, it is enough to keep the file "ftp" in a folder "mysql_bachkup.d" and set in it settings of access to FTP

If you want to save the configuration on different ftp then you need to duplicate the file "ftp" with a different name in the "mysql_backup.d" folder and configure it to another ftp server

Crontab

Enter crontab -e and insert the following after editing the folders

1 2 * * * /usr/local/bin/mysql_backup/mysql_backup
