Description

This is a suite of script intended to help backup and restore when migrating to another box with same SME version or more recent.

It will create an archive similar to the console usb backup, hence allowing console restore at startup directly after install.

It will backup all the already known by the script locations for every installed contribs.

It will also backup some user space known to have potential manually added files.

It will create a list of rpm currently installed and break them down to ease the install later.

A WIP will be to download the rpms from the repos to allow quick reinstall. A script will be used later to allow download from a more recent version.

There is also an exclusion list. By default /home/e-smith/files is in this exclusion list So you can have a server backup and restore faster, It assumes you backup those files separately and restore them manually latter (or have them on a separate mount point you can easily remount latter), as the server can boot without them on install.


Installation

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-migratehelper

Usage and behaviour

You must first create the mount point and mount your external disk already formatted and with sufficient place to receive the archive:

mkdir /mnt/backup
mount /dev/mydisk /mnt/backup

You can then edit (WIP creation of db properties to handle that). Add you directories or files to include in the dir.list section, your exclusion in exclude.list section. Then check all your contribs are listed, and the associated destination are correct.

vim /usr/bin/migratehelper.sh

Then run the script

/usr/bin/migratehelper.sh

It will then process all the files to backup and display the progress on screen. After creating the definitive list depending on installed rpms, it will then Create a list of rpm installed and breakdown them in two easy to restore lists :

files description
/root/newrpms output of /sbin/e-smith/auditiools/newrpms
/root/contribs previous output filtered for smeserver-* rpms
/root/rpmsextra all other non base distro rpms.
