SYSTEM BACKUPING

  • System of backuping has been completely reprogrammed. In the past system did full backups of all data only but it caused high usage of HDD space and creating of backups could took several hours for this process.
  • Now it is possible to create of Incremental (differential) backups to save more time and HDD space while creating backups. These incremental backups saves only daily difference in backups and if there is no change so the system do not backup anything.
  • Following functions are available:
    - creating of incremental backups of the system ISPadmin (/data/support/*, graphs, scripts, backups of routers ...)
    - creating of incremental binary backups of MySQL, Dump of all databases
    - creating of directories predefined by users
    - allow restoration of all backups to the predefined directory (e.g. /restore/backup/ ) or to the default location via terminal as super-user root
    - allow restoration of backups via web interface to the special directories (e.g. for other user usage like preview, copy to PC, etc. ). Choosing the type the user can restore backups from each day only or last full backup to the current day or restore on these files which contains requested regular strings (using the search field)
  • Settings is available in the menu Settings / Syst. settings / Backups. After the update this option of saving of Incremental backups is disabled as default and the system will do full backups as in the past. In the pop-up menu is possible to set up period for creating of backups (daily / weekly / monthly). If Incremental backups are needed so it is necessary to mark checkbox Do Incremental backups daily. In this case is possible to set up doing of FULL backups e.g. Weekly to save space of HDD. For complete restoration is necessary to keep the last FULL backup and following Inremental backups from the last FULL backup !
  • Backuping is executed daily in 3 AM
  • System creates log about backup created which is sent to the email admin-email (possible to set in the menu Settings / Syst. settings / General)
  • All saved backups is possible to display in the menu Others / Backups / System. There are displayed directories which are backuped and each one of them contains Full and Incremental backups
  • If the encyrpting of backups is enabled so in this case all backups are encrypted via ZIP (encryption of backup is strongly recommended). Encryption is possible to set directly from command line using the command "/usr/local/script/ispadmin/ispadmin_backup_crypt.pl"
  • Backup can be also easily done by clicking on the button Create backup in the web interface
  • The basic structure of directories is following:
        db - binary backups of SQL database ( directory /var/lib/mysql/ )
        db_dump - dump ( mysqldump ) for individual databases
        etc - backup of directory /etc
        graph - history of graphs of transfered data to the client ( in time data like these takes more and more HDD space because graphs are saved as images ). Location of these data is in following path /data/support/ispadmin/client_images
        ispadmin - backup of directory /data/support/ispadmin ( system data )
        scripts - backup of directory /usr/local/script/ispadmin ( binary scripts and data )
  • When the Full backup is done, other backups are Incremental and arranged to the new rows beloww the Full backup
  • Each backup contains information about Number of files, if it is Full or Incremental backup, Date of backup creation and the size of backup
  • Each backup contains following icons:
      -- "diskette" - option to download backup to the local drive
      -- "magnifying glass" - display the list of files saved in the backup including details like Filename, date of creation, size, etc.
      -- "restoration" - option to restore file in accordance to defined parameters
      -- "delete" - option to delete backup

  • help - display help
  • debug - display detailed output of backuping
  • source-path - if the BACKUP is provided by the system (parameter MODE has value backup) so it means directory where the backup will be saved. In the case of Incremental backups it is always directory /data/backup/incremental. If the different directory is needed so it is possible to change the path and create subdirectories there like etc, db, ispadmin, etc.
    - in the case of system RESTORATION (parameter MODE has value restore) so it means directory where the backup will be restored from.In the case of automatic backup it is always directory /data/backup/incremental. It is possible to change the path if the backup is in different directory, of course.
  • path - if the parameter MODE is set to the value restore (restoration from backup) so in this case the path is a directory where the backup will be restored into. If the directory for restoration is defined e.g. /restore so the system will create subdirectories like /etc, /db, /ispadmin, etc.
  • MODE - value "backup" - provide backuping, value "restore" - provide restoration
  • SCOPE - option to restore full backup or individual directory only. If the full backup restoration is needed so use the parameter all. If the restoration of directory is needed only so in this case use the name of directory as parameter e.g. etc or script, etc.
