Installation
for the instant you have to download the rpm here and install it by the yum localinstall command
wget http yum localinstall
DB command option
Backup directory
it is the folder where you will save you database backup (default is /root/backup/db)
config setprop automysqlbackup Backupdir "path/to/other/folder"
you have to create your new backup directory
mkdir -p /path/to/other/folder
ENCRYPTION
If you wish to encrypt your backups using openssl (no is default)
config setprop automysqlbackup Encrypt "yes"
you need to set a password (default is 01234567899876543210)
config setprop automysqlbackup Dbencrypt_password "your-password"
Decryption
To decrypt run (replace gz with bz2 if using bzip2):
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -in encrypted_file_name(ex: *.enc.gz) -out outputfilename.gz -pass pass:your-password
example :
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -in daily_horde_2013-04-26_01h41m_Friday.sql.gz.enc -out daily_horde_2013-04-26_01h41m_Friday.sql.gz -pass pass:01234567899876543210
Mailcontent
you can choose your type of mail send to the admin (log by default)
config setprop automysqlbackup Mailcontent "option"
- log : send only log file (default)
- files : send log file and sql files as attachments
- stdout : will simply output the log to the screen if run manually.
- quiet : Only send logs if an error occurs to the MAILADDR.
Mailto
you can choose the mail account where you sent your mails (default is admin).
config setprop automysqlbackup Mailto "foo@foo.com"
Sizemail
you can determine the size of mails sent (default is 8000 bytes).
config setprop automysqlbackup Sizemail 8000
RESTORING
In a root terminal
cd /root/backup/db/ and choose your backup gunzip file-name.sql.gz
Next you will need to use the mysql client to restore the DB from the sql file.
mysql database < /path/file.sql
NOTE: Make sure you use < and not > in the above command because you are piping the file.sql to mysql and not the other way around
If you want to play with another user or a remote mysql server you can use this command line
mysql --user=username --pass=password --host=dbserver database < /path/file.sql
