New page

= Backup of OpenSim MySQL database =

== Linux ==

Add something like this to crontab for a weekly/daily/hourly run. (“crontab -e” to edit, “man crontab” to understand how to edit)
<pre>mysqldump -uuser -ppass dbname | gzip > /tmp/mydb_`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S`.sql.gz</pre>
Crontab should e-mail you and errors in backup if it fails. (If your *nix is set up correctly)

To verify the backup gunzip it and look inside the .sql-file, it should contain a DB-dump. For example by executing:
<pre>zcat /tmp/mydb_YYYYMMDD_HHmmSS.sql.gz | more</pre>
To restore a given db:
<pre>cat /tmp/mydb_YYYYMMDD_HHmmSS.sql.gz | gunzip | mysql -uuser -ppass dbname </pre>
== Windows ==

The same as above can be done in Windows, but rotating the date can't be done in batch scripting afaik. I do however have a script for Windows I wrote for my OpenSim.

This is a script for taking a full MySQL backup on Windows (all databases). It required ActiveState Perl and 7zip command line to work. ''It works equally well for Linux, but a few adjustments to paths in header needs to be made.''

ActiveState Perl: [http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/ http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/]<br>7-Zip Command line: [http://www.7-zip.org/download.html http://www.7-zip.org/download.html]

# MySQL Backup Script by Tedd Hansen, tedd@konge.net, feb 2010
#
# THIS SCRIPT REQUIRES PERL INSTALLED. FOR WINDOWS USE ACTIVESTATE PERL.
#
# (1)
# This script requires a backup-user to be created on the database.
# Execute this: GRANT ALL on *.* to 'backup-user'@'localhost' identified by 'ZeBackup0perat00r';

# (change user and password at start of script))
#
# (2)
# To schedule script in Windows you must create a user with log on locally rights like Administrator has.
# DO NOT USE ADMINISTRATOR USER. If you do then backup will stop working next time we change password.
# Set startup path to the location of script, and schedule script to execute every 5 hours for example.
#

# Where to put backup
my $DIR_ROOT = "E:\\Backup";
my $DIR_BACKUP = "$DIR_ROOT\\MySQL_Backup";

# What to name backup
# Note: !DB! will be replaced with database name, !DATE! with current date yyyyMMdd and !TIME! with current time HHmmss
my $FILETEMPLATE = "MySQL !DB! !DATE! !TIME!.sqldump.7z";

# How long before we delete it?
my $KEEP_HISTORY_FOR_DAYS = 30;

# We are piping MySQLDump output directly into 7z for compression. 7z writes to filesystem.
#
# Note: !DB! and !OUTFILE! will be replaced with database name and filename for output file
# -t7z = 7zip format
# -mx5 = Medium compression: 0 = none , 9 = ultra .. Note: Increasing compression will use more CPU, and we want to reserve CPU for customers... :)
# -ms = Create solid archive
# -mmt = Multithreading
# -mo=PPMd = PPMd algorithm (good for text, and we have only text)
