Sample Model File

Add the following conf in Backup/models/project_2_backup.rb:

Example for mongodb

 database MongoDB do |db|
     db.name               = "db_name"
     db.username           = "db_username"
     db.password           = "db_pswd"
     db.host               = "localhost"
     db.port               = 27017 
     db.ipv6               = false
     #db.only_collections   = ["only", "these", "collections"]
     db.additional_options = ['--authenticationDatabase=admin']
     db.lock               = false
     db.oplog              = false
   end
   ## 
   # Amazon Simple Storage Service [Storage]
   #
   store_with S3 do |s3|
     # AWS Credentials
     s3.access_key_id     = "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"
     s3.secret_access_key = "YOUR_SECRET_KEY"
     # Or, to use a IAM Profile:
     # s3.use_iam_profile = true
     s3.region            = "ap-southeast-2" 
     s3.bucket            = "bucket_name"
     s3.path              = "bucket_name_path"
     s3.keep              = 12
     # s3.keep              = Time.now - 2592000 # Remove all backups older than 1 month.
   end 

 # Notification mail infos
 notify_by Mail do |mail|
     mail.on_success           = true
     mail.on_warning           = true
     mail.on_failure           = true
     mail.from                 = "_____@gmail.com"
     mail.to                   = "____@___.com"
     mail.cc                   = "______@_____.com, _____@______.com"
     #mail.bcc                  = "bcc@email.com"
     #mail.reply_to             = "reply_to@email.com" 
     mail.address              = "smtp.gmail.com"
     mail.port                 = 587
     mail.domain               = "domain_name"
     mail.user_name            = "email_username"
     mail.password             = "email_password"
     mail.authentication       = "plain"
     mail.encryption           = :starttls
 end 

Once you’ve setup your configuration, check your work with:

$ backup check

If there are no errors, the check should report:

[2019/03/28 10:02:26][info] Configuration Check Succeeded.

Perform Backup:

$ backup perform --trigger project_2_backup

The Keep Option

keep a specified number of backups in storage. After each backup is performed, it will remove older backup package files based on the keep setting.

keep as a Number

If a number has been specified and once the keep limit has been reached, the oldest backup will be removed.

Note that if keep is set to 5, then the 6th backup will be transferred and stored, before the oldest is removed. So be sure you have space available for keep + 1 backups

keep as Time

When a Time object is set to keep it will keep backups until that time. Everything older than the set time will be removed.
