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 /
