Configure

Create your configuration file, see example:

  safe do
    local :path => "/backup/:kind/:id"

    s3 do
      key "...................."
      secret "........................................"
      bucket "backup.astrails.com"
      path "servers/alpha/:kind/:id"
    end

    cloudfiles do
      username "..........."
      api_key "................................."
      container "safe_backup"
      path ":kind/" # this is default
      service_net false
    end

    sftp do
      host "sftp.astrails.com"
      user "astrails"
      # port 8023
      password "ssh password for sftp"
    end

    gpg do
      command "/usr/local/bin/gpg"
      options  "--no-use-agent"
      # symmetric encryption key
      # password "qwe"

      # public GPG key (must be known to GPG, i.e. be on the keyring)
      key "backup@astrails.com"
    end

    keep do
      local 20
      s3 100
      cloudfiles 100
      sftp 100
    end

    mysqldump do
      options "-ceKq --single-transaction --create-options"

      user "root"
      password "............"
      socket "/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock"

      database :blog
      database :servershape
      database :astrails_com
      database :secret_project_com do
        skip_tables "foo"
        skip_tables ["bar", "baz"]
      end

    end

    svndump do
      repo :my_repo do
        repo_path "/home/svn/my_repo"
      end
    end

    pgdump do
      options "-i -x -O"   # -i => ignore version, -x => do not dump privileges (grant/revoke), -O => skip restoration of object ownership in plain text format

      user "username"
      password "............"  # shouldn't be used, instead setup ident.  Current functionality exports a password env to the shell which pg_dump uses - untested!

      database :blog
      database :stateofflux_com
    end

    tar do
      options "-h" # dereference symlinks
      archive "git-repositories", :files => "/home/git/repositories"
      archive "dot-configs",      :files => "/home/*/.[^.]*"
      archive "etc",              :files => "/etc", :exclude => "/etc/puppet/other"

      archive "blog-astrails-com" do
        files "/var/www/blog.astrails.com/"
        exclude "/var/www/blog.astrails.com/log"
        exclude "/var/www/blog.astrails.com/tmp"
      end

      archive "astrails-com" do
        files "/var/www/astrails.com/"
        exclude ["/var/www/astrails.com/log", "/var/www/astrails.com/tmp"]
      end
    end
  end

Test

astrails-safe --dry-run /path/to/configuration_file.rb

Run

astrails-safe /path/to/configuration_file.rb

and probably create a cron job.
