=Server Backups=
AllStarLink, Inc uses a per server backup method based on borg.
= Installing Borg on Ubuntu 16 =
the default package that ships with ubuntu 16.04 LTS is borg 1.0 based and we use the latest 1.1 version as it has several security fixes.
== Install nessary packages==
apt-get install libacl1-dev python3-dev libssl-dev gcc g++
== install pip ==
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python3 get-pip.py
== Install Borg ==
pip3 install borgbackup
== Test for proper version ==
root@db-ord:~# borg -V
borg 1.1.7
which borg
/usr/local/bin/borg
== Install the scripts ==
This will install a new ssh key for root that matches the Rsync.net account and place the borg.inc program in the /root/ directory.
cd /
tar -xvf /root/borg-root-config.tar
= Edit the borg script=
On the Db servers we add a command to dump the database to /var/mysql-backup-current.sql.bz2
= Initalize the repo=
Copy the export lines to your shell and run then do
echo $BORG_REPO
ASLUSER@host.rsync.net:borg/ASL/db-ord
The borg/ASL/db-ord needs to be created on the server
ssh -t ASLUSER@host.rsync.net mkdir -p borg/ASL/db-ord
now we need to init the repo at that location
borg init -e keyfile-blake2 -p -v
== export the key ==
borg key export --paper
email this output GPG encrypted to the admin team members.
If we lose this key, there is no way to restore the backup. This means if the server dies, we need the paper key record and the passphrase.
= Do the first backup =
/root/borg.inc
Check that it's succeed
= move borg.inc to cron =
mv /root/borg.inc /etc/cron.daily/
