=head1 NAME |
537 |
|
538 |
psinib - Perl Snapshot Is Not Incremental Backup |
539 |
|
540 |
=head1 SYNOPSIS |
541 |
|
542 |
./psinib.pl |
543 |
|
544 |
=head1 DESCRIPTION |
545 |
|
546 |
This script in current version support just backup of Samba (or Micro$oft |
547 |
Winblowz) shares to central disk space. Central disk space is organized in |
548 |
multiple directories named after: |
549 |
|
550 |
=over 4 |
551 |
|
552 |
=item * |
553 |
server which is sharing files to be backed up |
554 |
|
555 |
=item * |
556 |
name of share on server |
557 |
|
558 |
=item * |
559 |
dated directory named like standard ISO date format (YYYYMMDD). |
560 |
|
561 |
=back |
562 |
|
563 |
In each dated directory you will find I<snapshot> of all files on |
564 |
exported share on that particular date. |
565 |
|
566 |
You can also use symlink I<latest> which will lead you to |
567 |
last completed backup. After that you can use some other backup |
568 |
software to transfer I<snapshot> to tape, CD-ROM or some other media. |
569 |
|
570 |
=head2 Design considerations |
571 |
|
572 |
Since taking of share snapshot every day requires a lot of disk space and |
573 |
network bandwidth, B<psinib> uses several techniques to keep disk usage and |
574 |
network traffic at acceptable level: |
575 |
|
576 |
=over 3 |
577 |
|
578 |
=item - usage of hard-links to provide same files in each snapshot (as opposed |
579 |
to have multiple copies of same file) |
580 |
|
581 |
=item - usage of file size, atime and mtime to find changes of files without |
582 |
transferring whole file over network (just share browsing is transfered |
583 |
over network) |
584 |
|
585 |
=item - usage of C<.md5sum> files (compatible with command-line utility |
586 |
C<md5sum>) to keep file between snapshots hard-linked |
587 |
|
588 |
=back |
589 |
|

=head1 CONFIGURATION |
591 |
|
592 |
This section is not yet written. |
593 |
|
594 |
=head1 HACKS, TRICKS, BUGS and LIMITATIONS |
595 |
|
596 |
This chapter will have all content that doesn't fit anywhere else. |
597 |
|
598 |
=head2 Can snapshots be more frequent than daily? |
599 |
|
600 |
There is not real reason why you can't take snapshot more often than |
601 |
once a day. Actually, if you are using B<psinib> to backup Windows |
602 |
workstations you already know that they tend to come-and-go during the day |
603 |
(reboots probably ;-), so running B<psinib> several times a day increases |
604 |
your chance of having up-to-date backup (B<psinib> will not make multiple |
605 |
snapshots for same day, nor will it update snapshot for current day if |
606 |
it already exists). |
607 |
|
608 |
However, changing B<psinib> to produce snapshots which are, for example, hourly |
609 |
is a simple change of C<$DIR_TIME_FMT> which is currently set to |
610 |
C<'%Y%m%d'> (see I<strftime> documentation for explanation of that |
611 |
format). If you change that to C<'%Y%m%d-%H> you can have hourly snapshots |
612 |
(if your network is fast enough, that is...). Also, some of messages in |
613 |
program will sound strange, but other than that it should work. |
614 |
I<You have been warned>. |
615 |
|
616 |
=head2 Do I really need to share every directory which I want to snapshot? |
617 |
|
618 |
Actually, no. Due to usage of C<Filesys::SmbClient> module, you can also |
619 |
specify sub-directory inside your share that you want to backup. This feature |
620 |
is most useful if you want to use administrative shares (but, have in mind |
621 |
that you have to enter your Win administrator password in unencrypted file on |
622 |
disk to do that) like this: |
623 |
|
624 |
smbmount //server/c$/WinNT/fonts /mnt -o username=administrator%win |
625 |
|
626 |
After that you will get directories with snapshots like: |
627 |
|
628 |
server/c_WinNT_fonts/yyyymmdd/.... |
629 |
|
630 |
=head2 Won't I run out of disk space? |
631 |
|
632 |
Of course you will... Snapshots and logfiles will eventually fill-up your disk. |
633 |
However, you can do two things to stop that: |
634 |
|
635 |
=head3 Clean snapshort older than x days |
636 |
|
637 |
You can add following command to your C<root> crontab: |
638 |
|
639 |
find /backup/isis_backup -type d -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 3 -mtime +11 -exec rm -Rf {} \; |
640 |
|
641 |
I assume that C</backup/isis_backup> is directory in which are your snapshots |
642 |
and that you don't want to keep snapshots older than 11 days (that's |
643 |
C<-mtime +11> part of command). |
644 |
|
645 |
=head3 Rotate your logs |
646 |
|
647 |
I will leave that to you. I relay on GNU/Debian's C<logrotate> to do it for me. |
648 |
|
649 |
=head2 What are I<YYYYMMDD.partial> directories? |
650 |
|
651 |
If there isn't I<latest> symlink in snapshot directory, it's preatty safe to |
652 |
assume that previous backup from that day failed. So, that directory will |
653 |
be renamed to I<YYYYMMDD.partial> and snapshot will be performed again, |
654 |
linking same files (other alternative would be to erase that dir and find |
655 |
second-oldest directory, but this seemed like more correct approach). |
