This Bash script is able to backup directories from Uberspace users (and also other SSH resources). For Uberspace hosts it can also backup MySQL databases by copying the backups Uberspace cleverly created for you.
It is designed to work automatically on another server with enough harddisk space.
ssh-checker.sh
one can automatically test whether the hosts provided in the hosts file can be accessed. If not, the little helper is trying to put your public SSH key to the remote hosts’ authorized_keys files by letting you type in the password manually once.Configuration happens in two files: config.cfg and hosts.csv.
Everything should be self-explanatory with the comments. Make sure to use the correct GPG fingerprint, and make sure to have its public key imported by the user executing the script. No private key has to be installed on the backupping system (but on the decrypting one of course).
This file contains the hosts and its directories that shall be saved. It consists of two rows separated by ;
. The first one contains a username@hostname
combination that will be used to sync files via SSH, and also as the backup destination directory name.
The latter one contains all source directories that shall be transferred. This can be absolute file paths, or – if it’s a Uberspace host – some special shortcuts:
%virtual
backups the virtual folder of your uberspace host (/var/www/virtual/username/
) where for example the html
folder is located in.%mysql
downloads the latest backup of your MySQL databases that have been created by Uberspace themselves (their backup system is quite sophisticated).%mails
downloads the directory users
in the home directory which contains all email files of virtual mail users.%home
simply downloads the whole user’s home directory.You can give multiple locations that shall be backed up. Just separate them by |
characters. See the example file for more.
In order to let the script run regularily, simply put the script’s absolute path in a cron file. For example, run crontab -e
and insert at the bottom:
10 3 * * * /home/archiver/uberspace-backup/uberspace-backup.sh
This will run the backups every night at 3:10.
~
or $HOME
haven’t been tested yet. Use absolute paths instead.%virtual
. Make sure to regularily check your backups to make sure all important files are saved.
