It's good practice to periodically backup up your database. This functionality is coming to Amahi soon, but until then there is a simple way to automatate it. Follow the steps below to help keep your data safe.

Installation

  • Create a share called Database with the path of /var/hda/files/db.
  • Download the script AutoMySQLBcckup file to /tmp directory.
cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/automysqlbackup/AutoMySQLBackup/AutoMySQLBackup%20VER%202.5/automysqlbackup-2.5.1-01.sh
  • Some changes will need to be made for this to work on your HDA as follows:

USERNAME=debian on line 39 to:

USERNAME=root

PASSWORD= on line 42 to:

PASSWORD=hda

BACKUPDIR="/srv/backup/db" on line 51 to:

BACKUPDIR="/var/hda/files/db"

MAILADDR="maintenance@example.com" on line 65 to:

MAILADDR="root"

DBEXCLUDE="" on line 76 to:

DBEXCLUDE="information_schema"

CREATE_DATABASE=no on line 79 to:

CREATE_DATABASE=yes

LATEST=no on line 94 to:

LATEST=yes
  • Move the file from your home directory to /usr/local/bin and set the permissions:
mv /
