Local backup #65

Closed jtakayama closed 11 years ago

jtakayama commented 11 years ago

Requesting review of the following:

This adds a new directory, localBackup, to the top level of the WattDepot project. localBackup contains three files intended for use on Linux systems to retain a monthly backup and all backups from the last 7 days (604800 seconds).

This also adds a .gitattributes file to the top-level directory to force all commits of text files to have Unix line endings. It is identical to the current Makahiki .gitattributes.

  • _wattdepot_backupscript.sh: Backs up the Wattdepot database and other files into a .tar.gz archive, which it places in /wattdepot-backups on the system.

    • This script enables wattdepot_backup_script.sh to be run automatically.
    • On the first day of the month, it copies the backup it makes to a /wattdepot-backups/monthly directory.
    • Daily backups are deleted after 7 days with the user's permission.
    • If the script is run with --delete-auto, it deletes daily backups more than 7 days old without asking.

    _wattdepot_backkuprunner.sh: Runs wattdepot_backup_script.sh with its --delete-auto option and a value set for the PGPASSWORD environment

    variable.

    _localBackup/wattdepot_postgresql_backupprocedure.txt: Instructions for the use of the files.

This also adds a .gitattributes file to the top-level directory to force all commits of text files to have Unix line endings. It is identical

to the current Makahiki .gitattributes.
