Description:
I intend to introduce an automatic midnight backup feature to enhance data security while acknowledging the potential drawback of data redundancy. This feature will utilize a cron job to execute the backup and restore processes, ensuring that our server's database is backed up every night and the backup is subsequently restored to a remote database.
Details: The task involves the following key aspects:
Scheduled Backup: Implement a cron job that runs every midnight to perform a database backup of the server's data. This scheduled task will provide a regular and consistent backup process.
Data Redundancy: Recognize the potential drawback of data redundancy, which is inherent in this process. Redundancy can be managed and documented as part of the project.
Remote Database Restore: After the backup process is completed, restore the backup data to a remote database. This ensures that data security is maintained on both the server and the remote database.
Error Handling and Logging: Implement error handling and logging mechanisms to report and document any issues that may occur during the backup and restore operations.
Configuration Options: Provide options for configuring the backup and restore directories, as well as scheduling the cron job.
