Backup tool that enhances the trac-admin hotcopy utility
Description
This plugin is a script that provides some additional functionality around TracAdmin's hotcopy function. The script supports archiving the backup in gzip, bzip2 or zip format and can be configured to retain a specified number of past backups. Ideal for use as a cron job.
The script is derived from the 'hot-backup.py' script included in the Subversion distribution, which provides similar functionality around Subversion's hotcopy utility.
USAGE: trac-hot-backup.py [OPTIONS] PROJECT_PATH BACKUP_PATH
Create a backup of the project at PROJECT_PATH in a subdirectory of
the BACKUP_PATH location, named with the backup date and time.
Options:
--archive-type=FMT Create an archive of the backup. FMT can be one of:
bz2 : Creates a bzip2 compressed tar file.
gz : Creates a gzip compressed tar file.
zip : Creates a compressed zip file.
--num-backups=N Number of prior backups to keep around (0 to keep all).
--help -h Print this help message and exit.
Examples:
- Back up the project at
/var/trac/myprojto/nfs/backup/trac/myproj-YYYY-mm-dd-HHMM:
trac-hot-backup.py /var/trac/myproj /nfs/backup/trac
- Back up the project at
/var/trac/myprojto/nfs/backup/trac/myproj-YYYY-mm-dd-HHMM.tar.gzand delete all but the 7 most recent backups, including the one just created:
trac-hot-backup.py --archive-type=gz --num-backups=7 /var/trac/myproj /nfs/backup/trac
