System Prep

  • Note: In production this machine should be in a different building than houselian
  • apt-get install rsnapshot
  • Set up partitioning and fstab with the following considerations:
    • mount your backup volume under /home/backups
    • carve a 5 GB partition and mount it under /home/porchlian
    • carve a 20 GB partition and mount it under /home/houselian

Configure Rsnapshot

Configure Exim

  • dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
  • send by smart host, no local mail=>set System Name as computerisms.com=>Set IP as 127.0.0.1=>No destinations accepted=>set Visible Name as computerisms.com=>Set hostname as mail.computerisms.com=>no=>no

Distribute SSH Keys

  • ssh-keygen -b 4096 -t rsa (empty passphrase)
  • i=$(cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub); ssh root@192.168.26.10 "echo $i >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys"
  • i=$(cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub); ssh root@192.168.26.1 "echo $i >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys"
  • ssh root@192.168.26.10 <= Make sure you can log in without a password
  • exit
  • ssh root@192.168.26.1 <= Make sure you can log in without a password
  • exit

Set Up Database Dumps and Samba Backups

  • ssh root@192.168.26.10
  • mkdir /root/SQLDumps
  • mkdir /usr/local/SambaBackups
  • chmod 750 /root/S* /root/scripts/
  • vi /root/scripts/SQLdump.sh
  • sed 's!WHERE=/usr/local/backups!WHERE=/usr/local/SambaBackups!' /usr/src/samba-4.0.7/source4/scripting/bin/samba_backup > /usr/local/samba/bin/samba_backup
  • crontab -e
    • 10 21 * * * bash /root/scripts/SQLdump.sh
    • 10 42 * * * bash /usr/local/samba/bin/samba_backup
  • exit

Set Up All the Automation

  • crontab -e
    • 00 21 * * * bash /root/scripts/rsnap.daily.sh
    • 01 21 * * 6 /usr/bin/rsnapshot weekly
    • 02 21 * * * nice -10 rsync -Hrax --delete --exclude *.gvfs --exclude /proc --exclude /sys --exclude /dev --exclude /media --exclude /mnt --exclude /home --exclude /service root@192.168.26.10:/* /home/houselian
    • 03 21 * * * nice -10 rsync -Hrax --delete --exclude *.gvfs --exclude /proc --exclude /sys --exclude /dev --exclude /media --exclude /mnt root@192.168.26.1:/* /home/porchlian

Restoring Porchlian/Houselian

  • reverse the rsync to a partition on a new drive, use a boot disk to install grub2 on that drive, and it will boot
