中文README

This tool helps you backup your server with google drive

Feature

Install

Download

Go to https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive#downloads and find a link for your OS version (for example linux.x86-64)

The link is:

https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B3X9GlR6EmbnQ0FtZmJJUXEyRTA&export=download

Then go to your vps and execute following commands:

wget -O gdrive https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B3X9GlR6EmbnQ0FtZmJJUXEyRTA&export=download
chmod a+x gdrive
sudo mv gdrive /usr/bin/

Authorize Google Drive

Run:

gdrive list

You will get a link, then open the link in your browser and get a verification code. Copy the code and paste it back to the vps's commandline.

Then, wait for gdrive to finish its work.

Then you will see a list like:

Id                                                  Name                              Type   Size       Created
0BwCJ3d1WooqKbU9HakpYbmRxN00                        wwwroot.tgz                       bin    35.9 MB    2017-08-15 17:38:48
0BwCJ3d1WooqKQmRLVHdwUVhaWFU                        backup                            dir               2017-08-15 13:13:44

The backup folder is my folder for backup-worker to sync, you could create your own folder.

Now we assume that you use backup as the default backup folder.

Copy the Id of the folder you choose: 0BwCJ3d1WooqKQmRLVHdwUVhaWFU.

Setup Backup

Set backup options

Edit backup.py with your favorite text editor.

Following options should be changed to your own value.

# Mysql dump options, all database will be dumped to single file.
MYSQL_USERNAME = "root"
MYSQL_PASSWORD = "abc123"

DUMP_TO = "/home/backup"    # backup's root folder
CHILD_DUMP_DIR_NAME = "dumps"    
# Your current backup will be  "/home/backup/dumps"
# Last recent backup will be "/home/backup/dumps.bak"

# This option will backup given folder to specified tgz file
# For example, this settings will backup '/home/kaka' to '/home/backup/dumps/wwwroot.tgz'
DIRS_TO_DUMP = [
    ("/home/kaka", "wwwroot.tgz")
]

# This is your gdrive folder id
# '/home/backup/dumps' will be synced with this folder each time
GDRIVE_DIR_ID = "dir_id"

Link backup.py as cron-task

I use:

ln -s `readlink -f backup.py /etc/cron.daily/backup-site`

The run run-parts command to see if the cron will run correctly.

Note: Your gdrvie authorization should be set with the same user as you run the cron task.

# Should be run as root or the user you run the cron task. 
run-parts --report -v /etc/cron.daily/

Now if the command output something like gdrive synced, your backup works well.

Enjoy it.
