dlid-backup

CLI tool to make a simple backup from a source to a target

dlid-backup 
 ACTION = run | help
 -s:COLLECTOR_TYPE 
 [-s.COLLECTOR_PROPERTY=value]...
 -t:TARGET_TYPE 
 [-s.TARGET_PROPERTY=value]...

All files are collected into a ZIP archive. This ZIP file is then sent to the target.

Installation

npm install dlid-backup

Example - MySQL backup

The MySQL backup will use mysqldump and will only work for the local server.

dlid-backup
 run
 -s:mysql                                                # We want to make a MySQL backup
 -s.host=localhost                                       # from a local server
 -s.include=wp_*                                         # of all databases starting with wp_*
 -t:filesystem                                           # Save the backup in the local filesystem
 -t.folder=/usr/david/bak                                # in this folder
 -t.filename={date:yyyy'-'MM'-'dd}-{date}-{date}-wp.zip  # with this filename {these} values are macros  (2020-07-15-wp.zip)
 -t.keep=3                                               # Keep maximum 3 files in the target location that...
 -t.keep-match=*_wp-zip                                  # ..match this pattern - ending with_wp.zip

• MySQL - Zip SQL database dumps

Target

A Target is where the Collected zip file should be stored. These are the current targets:

• Filesystem
• Firebase

MySQL preparations

You should make sure root can run mysqldump and mysql commands without passwords in the command line.

mysql_config_editor set --login-path=client --host=localhost --user=root --password

NOTE! Put " around the password if it contains special characters

Enter password then connect without parameters (or using parameter --login-path=hej if you named it hej)

Cron

Cron jobs should be setup to execute mysqldump, compress and upload files
