A Django database/media backup tool with Amazon Glacier and local folder support
Project description
Back up your databases and media directory to a local file/directory or Amazon Glacier. Works with PostgreSQL, MySQL and sqlite.
A fork of (a fork of) django-backup which adds:
Multiple database support
Optionally save your backups to Amazon Glacier
Less assumptions about presence of a Bourne-like shell and GNU tools
Less tarballception (no more redundant tarballs inside tarballs)
Postgres-specific improvements:
Uses the custom archive type for pg_dump, for maximum flexibility at restore time, so there’s no need to worry about having to hand-edit or craft cryptic regexes for a many-thousand-line SQL file when restoring just because the wrong command line flags were used when making the backup.
Doesn’t pass PostgreSQL database password via command line argument, as doing so can reveal your database password to other users on the same machine.
Warning to MySQL Users: This script may expose your MySQL database password to other users on the same machine, as it is passed in via a command line argument. Pull requests to fix this problem are welcome.
Installation
Run pip install django-icybackup, then add icybackup to your INSTALLED_APPS.
Usage
Backing up
manage.py backup -o backup.tgz - back up to backup.tgz
manage.py backup -d backups - back up to backups/[CURRENT_DATETIME].tgz
manage.py backup -g arn:was:glacier:us-east-1:2584098540980:vaults/my-website-backups - backup to the my-website-backups Amazon Glacier vault, given by it’s ARN
manage.py backup --stdout - back up to stdout
Supports the following optional flags:
-e extra_file - Add an extra file or directory to the backup (can be specified multiple times)
Restoring
manage.py restore -i backup.tgz - restore from backup.tgz
manage.py restore --stdin - restore from stdin
Tip: If you want to move servers, or copy your production database/media exactly to development or staging, it is possible to do something like this:
ssh other-server 'cd path/to/app && manage.py backup --stdout' | manage.py restore --stdin
settings.py settings
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - required for Amazon Glacier upload to work.
To do
Backup directory cleanup command
Tests
remove password from mysqldump process name
Restore command
Commands to reconcile and prune Glacier backups
