Document and implement backup #17

Closed mrjones-plip closed 2 years ago

mrjones-plip commented 8 years ago

before we can start using this in production, we need to clearly document how we backup:

And, as well, document the process to restore a backup. Then we need to implement it and, of course, test restore process ;)

mrjones-plip commented 8 years ago

I'm thinking this could be done in a single script which just accepts the path you want to backup to: backup.py /var/backups/Mar.3.2016/. It would then read in the config.py values so it can do the DB dump, know where the uploaded files are and of course know the config values themselves.

thoughts?

Makes sense to me. Lets create a script/ directory and start putting stuff like that in there?

I do have a script I was using to back up the database, but if we are going to have a bunch of bootstrap / maintenance utilities then maybe it makes sense to move it.

mrjones-plip commented 8 years ago

sure, script/ or scripts/ works!

the db_backup.sh is just doing a mysql dump and is hard coded though. what I was envisioning was something that would dynamically read in the values to connect to the DB from the config file.

Closing for now, will revisit in a new Issue
