These plugins provide specific application's backup for BareOS FileDaemon.
- XenServer Host, Pool and VM backup bareos-fd-xenserver.py
- PostgreSQL Database backup bareos-fd-pgsql.py
- MySQL Database backup bareos-fd-mysql.py
- Oracle Database backup bareos-fd-oracle.py
- Ubiquity Edge Switch backup bareos-fd-edgeswitch.py
Warning: These plugins comes with no warranty. They are in early stage of development. Verify your backup before use it in production.
Installation and configuration instructions are documented in each plugins.
I start to develop a generic base plugin class BareosFdTaskClass.py with the aim to create a fast and simple way to write new plugins.
The plugin handles a list of tasks. A task is responsible of a backup operation such as database dump, system state or a vm export and could store one or more files. A couple of base tasks are available and should be overridden to implement the backup operation wanted.
So, to write a new plugin you have to follow these steps:
- Override BareosFdTaskClass.py class.
- Define a list of tasks in the prepare_tasks function.
- Customize the task to execute the specific backup procedure and return data to plugin.
Source code should be quite easy to understand and provided plugins could be easily used as template.
The restore operation, at least at the moment, is not managed by this class. File are restored in the filesystem as regular file as it is implemented in BareosFdPluginBaseClass,py. Anyway, the plugin needs to be installed on the FileDaemon used as destination.
Contributions are welcome.
