here is the script:
basically it uses mysqldump or mysqladmin to backup mysql (full or incremental)
and two scripts to backup svn (will post them too if interested)
The script runs every day (if system is running) and performs a full backup
after "maxIncDays" days
#!/bin/bash
#
# backup script used by anacron
maxIncDays=7
lastFullDateFile="/var/backup.extra/lastFullDateFile"
today=`date +%Y%m%d`
fullBackup=true
function dayDiff (){
dateOfPast=$1
timeStampToday=`date +%s -d $today`
timeStampOfPast=`date +%s -d $dateOfPast`
secondsInDay=86400
dayDiff=`echo \($timeStampToday - $timeStampOfPast\) / $secondsInDay |
bc`
echo $dayDiff
}
#redirect stdout and stderr
logFile=/var/backup.extra/log/backup.`date +%Y-%m-%d`.log
errFile=/var/backup.extra/log/backup.`date +%Y-%m-%d`.err

done)

Question #112940 on NSsbackup changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+question/112940 paolocollector posted a new comment: Not sure how to contribute to the blueprint. I can tell you why I need this. I can't backup directly mysql and subversion databases, so i run a script to backup them to a specific folder, that becomes then part of nssbackup. It would make sense to have a common policy where a full nssbackup is performed when i do a full mysql and svn backup, so i need to control it via script -- You received this question notification because you are a member of NSsbackup team, which is an answer contact for NSsbackup. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team Post to : nssbackup-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Question #112940 on NSsbackup changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+question/112940 Status: Open => Answered Jean-Peer Lorenz proposed the following answer: Hi Paolo, you're right - at the moment a proper commandline interface providing some features/configuration tricks is not implemented. I've already thought about this and something in this direction is included in the current development branch (trunk - not for production!). I've registered a blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+spec /commandline-interface to track the progress on this feature. You are invited to contribute with ideas and specifications to this blueprint (What is it exactly what you need? What happens in the case of not being able to do an incr. backup? And so on.)

New question #112940 on NSsbackup: https://answers.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+question/112940 I need to specify in a script to do a full backup or an incremental backup This does not seem to be possible at the moment: is this a planned feature?
