Artifactory Backup Folders User Plugin

Provides you the ability to backup specific path within the repository.

Installation

To install this plugin:

1. Place file backupFolders.groovy under the master Artifactory server ${ARTIFACTORY_HOME}/etc/plugins.
2. Verify in the ${ARTIFACTORY_HOME}/logs/artifactory.log that the plugin loaded correctly.
3. If you want to use the scheduled job execution, place file backupFolders.properties under the master Artifactory server ${ARTIFACTORY_HOME}/etc/plugins and set the properties values properly.

Log information

Please add the following to the $ARTIFACTORY_HOME/etc/logback.xml file:

For more verbosity logs:

<logger name="backUpFolder">
    <level value="debug"/>
</logger>

For log level info:

<logger name="backUpFolder">
    <level value="info"/>
</logger>

This would not require restart of the Artifactory Server.

Execution

This plugin has the ability to be executed in two ways:

1. By REST Call.
2. By schedule job execution (uses cron expression).

REST Call

To execute this plugin:

curl -X GET -u{admin_user}:{password} "http://{ARTIFACTORY_URL}:{PORT}/artifactory/api/plugins/execute/backup" -T properties.json

When the properties.json file need to include two parameters:

1. Destination folder. For example: For windows use two backslashes: "destinationFolder":"c:\\Work\\Test".
2. Path to back up. For example: "pathToFolder":"{repository_name}/{path}/{to}/{backup}".

Scheduled Job

This plugin by default is set to be fired up each day at 1:00 AM (0 0 1 1/1 * ? *). You can modify this within the plugin. The job execution point uses the backupFolders.properties file to retrieve the destination folder and the path:

1. Destination folder. For example: For windows use two back slashes: "destinationFolder":"c:\\Work\\Test"
2. Path to back up. For example: "pathToFolder":"{repository_name}/{path}/{to}/{backup}"
