Full Backup Script for Linux GMS
Problem
I want to do a full backup of the Linux GMS, including application parameters, users and groups. How can I do this?
Solution
Here's a backup script you can use:
#!/bin/bash #Stoping services /etc/init.d/mobilesuite stop /etc/init.d/asadb stop /etc/init.d/securegateway stop #Backup IMS directory tar -czf /backup/backupmobile.tgz /opt/ims/ #Starting services /etc/init.d/securegateway start /etc/init.d/asadb start /etc/init.d/mobilesuite start #Vérify status of services /etc/init.d/mobilesuite status /etc/init.d/asadb status /etc/init.d/securegateway status
Note that you have to deactivate the cron job during the backup, which restarts services if they are crashed in /etc/crontab
For example:
SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/lib/news/bin MAILTO=root # # check scripts in cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly, and cron.monthly # -*/15 * * * * root test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons >/dev/null 2>&1 */1 *1-0* * * * root /etc/init.d/mobilesuite restart-if-crashed > /dev/null 2>&1 */1 *1-0* * * * root /etc/init.d/asadb restart-if-crashed > /dev/null 2>&1 */1 *1-0* * * * root /etc/init.d/securegateway restart-if-crashed > /dev/null 2>&1
I do the backup between midnight and 1:00 a.m. - I've tested it, and it works well.
