Automatic backup: Every day or week

[Ritmeester]

Automatic backup.

I installed a new Pi 3+ as Master. I forgot to make the last manual DB backup but this is not a big problem because I didn’t change anything after the last DB backup.

The only thing what I miss is my 1-Wire (6 sensors) data.

So is there an option or script what can send every day or week the DB and scripts folder to: *

* I have a in my network an Synology NAS and I have Dropbox.

What will be the best way to backup this and how?

(WhatsApp has for example an everyday backup to Google Drive. )

I just followed the steps outlined here. And it works great.

[Ritmeester]

Tanks EdwinK,

I missed this I will take look to it.

Thanks.

I have a NSF share (Synology) mounted on the Raspberry Pi. I created a backup script that runs via a crontab job every night.
If the backup is older than 14 days it will be deleted.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
### PLACE THIS SCRIPT IN:/home/pi/domoticz/scripts as domoticz_backup.sh
DOMO_IP="192.168.2.1"  # Domoticz IP 
DOMO_PORT="8080"        # Domoticz port 
### END OF USER CONFIGURABLE PARAMETERS
TIMESTAMP=`/bin/date +%Y%m%d%H%M`

BACKUPDBFILE="domoticz_$TIMESTAMP.db"
BACKUPFILES="domoticz_$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz"

echo -e "\n\e[1;33mBacking up Domoticz. Please standby...\e[0m\n"
 
#Create backup and make tar archives
/usr/bin/curl -s http://$DOMO_IP:$DOMO_PORT/backupdatabase.php > /mnt/backupz/$BACKUPDBFILE
sudo tar --exclude='domoticz.db-shm' --exclude='domoticz.db-wal' --exclude='/home/pi/domoticz/www/dashticz/.git' -zcvf /mnt/backupz/$BACKUPFILES -T /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/domoticz_backup.lst
 
#Delete backups older than 14 days
/usr/bin/find /mnt/backupz/ -name '*.db' -mtime +14 -delete
/usr/bin/find /mnt/backupz/ -name 'domoticz_*.tar.gz' -mtime +14 -delete

echo -e "\n\e[1;33mBacking up Domoticz finished!\e[0m\n"

domoticz_backup.lst

Spoiler: show

hi

just installed the backup like in the wiki.
when i test the script it makes a backup..
but it doesnt make the backup automaticly..

followed the wiki exactly..

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo crontab -l
# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
#
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
#
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').#
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
#
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
#
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h dom mon dow command
# * * * * * commando dat uitgevoerd moet worden
# - - - - -
# | | | | |
# | | | | +--------------------- dag van de week (0 - 6) (zondag=0)
# | | | +-------------------- maand (1 - 12)

#------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 1 * * * sudo home/pi/domoticz/scripts/domoticz_backup.sh
0 3 22 * * /mnt/backup/system_backup.sh

but when i

Code: Select all

sudo home/pi/domoticz/scripts/domoticz_backup.sh

it makes a a backup perfectly
also tried

Code: Select all

sudo ~/domoticz/scripts/domoticz_backup.sh

and tried without sudo, and tried with pi instead of sudo.. but nothing

[waaren]

0 1 * * * sudo home/pi/domoticz/scripts/domoticz_backup.sh

Try to use a full qualified path
0 1 * * * sudo /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/domoticz_backup.sh

[astrapowerrr]

0 1 * * * sudo home/pi/domoticz/scripts/domoticz_backup.sh

Try to use a full qualified path
0 1 * * * sudo /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/domoticz_backup.sh

Will try that tomorrow. I als tried it like sudo ~/Domoticz just like in the wiki. That should also work I thought.

18 20 * * * sudo ~/domoticz/scripts/domoticz_backup.sh


pi@raspberrypi:~ $

how is this possible…?
the time is for me to try over and over.. as this is for 20:18 everyday if i understand correctly.

[Minglarn]

Is it possible to make the bash script archive into same tar?

I've these folders backed up every night 01:00.

Code: Select all

    ### Send to Network disk through FTP
    curl -s --disable-epsv -v -T"/tmp/$BACKUPFILEGZ" -u"$USERNAME:$PASSWORD" "ftp://$SERVER/$DESTDIRNAS"
    curl -s --disable-epsv -v -T"/tmp/domoticz_scripts_$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz" -u"$USERNAME:$PASSWORD" "ftp://$SERVER/$DESTDIRNAS"
    curl -s --disable-epsv -v -T"/tmp/telegram_scripts_$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz" -u"$USERNAME:$PASSWORD" "ftp://$SERVER/$DESTDIRNAS"
    curl -s --disable-epsv -v -T"/tmp/plugins_scripts_$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz" -u"$USERNAME:$PASSWORD" "ftp://$SERVER/$DESTDIRNAS

Is it possible to make only 1 archive instead of 4?

[waaren]

nope.. not working
how is this possible…?

If you type sudo crontab -l you will see the crontab for root.
in that crontab the command sudo ~/domoticz/scripts/domoticz_backup.sh
will try to execute the script /root/domoticz/scripts/domoticz_backup.sh (because executed as root)
That's why I suggested to use the full qualified name being /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/domoticz_backup.sh
