!Backup policy<br />
Backups are controlled by the host backup.XXX.com.<br />
<br />
!!Backup directorys<br />
The backups are rdiff-backups locate in /home/backup/HOSTNAME and /home/archive/HOSTNAME (for machines we no longer care about but who need to be archived just incase)<br />
<br />
- Currently in /home/backup/HOSTNAME/ we keep a number of days of rdiff-backup:<br />
* /home  (excluding /home/tmp /home/backup home/logs)<br />
* /etc<br />
* /root<br />
Also copied over (just in their current state) are:<br />
* /home/logs<br />
<br />
To see the last backup date for /home on all hosts:<br />
<code><br />
ls -la /home/backup/*/*/.lastbackup<br />
</code><br />
<br />
Use man rdiff-backup if you need to restore or look for a version at a specific date<br />
<br />
!!The backup code<br />
<br />
Cron runs the script /home/sysadmin/backup/do_backup.sh every night<br />
That script lists all the hosts to backup.<br />
- Each host has:<br />
* it's mysql dumped into /home/mysql<br />
* /home, /etc, /root are all then rdiff-backup'ed over to backup<br />
* /home/logs is copied over too
