backups

Script and scheme to keep KDLP ORBIT production data storage redundant

Current Status

Currently, we simply copy the user database into the repository with a unix timstamp suffix appended to the original filename. This is implmenented by the daily cronjob that invokes our do_local_backup.sh.

Development Task List

  • create secure method to pull backups to external system (implemented using cp -ar, tar pcf, tar xpf, and of course, scp)
  • automate external backups (these are done by dev.underground.software like this)
  • matrix data backup
  • investigate which other data needs to be backed up.
