Hi All,
I've changed a little bit the script and here it is now:
----------- cut --------------------
#!/bin/bash
set -e
set -b
# Location of the backup logfile.
logfile="/var/log/pg_sql_backup/bkp.log"
# Location to place backups.
backup_dir="/mnt/backup/Databases/pgsql/"
timeslot=`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S`
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
echo "pg_backup help for more detailed help"
exit 0
fi
if [ "$1" == "help" ]; then
echo ""
echo "Usage: pg_backup <hostname> show - shows all databases on
pg_sql server"
echo "Usage: pg_backup <hostname> <database_name> - backups
specified database"
echo "Usage: pg_backup <hostname> - backups all databases on pg_sql
server"
echo "Usage: pg_backup <hostname> db_size - show sizes of all
databases on pg_sql server"
exit 0
fi
if [ "$2" == "show" ]; then
databases=$(psql -h "$1" -U backup -q -c '\l' template1 | sed -n
'4,/\eof/p' | grep -v '(.*rows)' | awk {'print $1'} | grep -v "|" | grep -v
template0 |grep -v ":")
echo "Server $1 contains folloing databases:"
echo "======================================"
for i in $databases; do
echo $i
done
echo "======================================"
exit 0
fi
if [ "$2" == "db_size" ]; then
databases=$(psql -h "$1" -U backup -q -c '\l' template1 | sed -n
'4,/\eof/p' | grep -v '(.*rows)' | awk {'print $1'} | grep -v "|" |grep -v
template0 |grep -v ":")
echo "Server $1 contains folloing databases:"
echo "======================================"
for i in $databases; do
psql -h "$1" -U backup -q -c "SELECT
pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size('$i')) as \"$i\";" template1
done
echo "======================================"
exit 0
fi
if [ -n "$2" ]; then
databases="$2"
else
databases=$(psql -h "$1" -U backup -q -c '\l' template1 | sed -n
'4,/\eof/p' | grep -v '(.*rows)' | awk {'print $1'} | grep -v "|" |grep -v
template0 |grep -v ":")
fi
for i in $databases; do
timeinfo=$(date '+%T %x')
echo "[$1] [$timeinfo] Seshon Started" | tee -a "$logfile"
echo "[$1] [$timeinfo] Vacuum started on database: $i" | tee -a
"$logfile"
vacuumdb -z -h "$1" -U backup "$i" >> "$logfile"
timeinfo=$(date '+%T %x')
echo "[$1] [$timeinfo] Vacuum complete on database: $i" | tee -a
"$logfile"
timeinfo=$(date '+%T %x')
echo "[$1] [$timeinfo] Backup started on database: $i" | tee -a
"$logfile"
pg_dump "$i" -h "$1" -U backup | gzip >
"$backup_dir/pgsql-$1-$i-$timeslot-database.gz"
timeinfo=$(date '+%T %x')
echo "[$1] [$timeinfo] Backup complete on database: $i" | tee -a
"$logfile"
echo "[$1] [$timeinfo] Seshon Ended" | tee -a "$logfile"
done
echo "All is OK"
----------- cut --------------------
in cron you can put the following script:
--------- cut ----------
#!/bin/bash
echo -e "============== DataBase Backups ==============="
echo -e "===============================================\n"
for i in host1 host2 host3 hostXXX; do
echo -e "=== Connecting to $i ==="
echo -e "=== Starting backup of $i ==="
/etc/everbread/crons/pg_backup.sh $i show
/etc/everbread/crons/pg_backup.sh $i db_size
/etc/everbread/crons/pg_backup.sh $i
echo -e "=== Backup of $i finished ==="
echo -e "=== Disconnected from $i ====\n"
done
echo -e "==============================================="
echo -e "============= Data Base Backups Done ==========\n"
----------cut ----------
