Scripts per databse type

Here are database plugins that can dump and restore types of databases. They will be sourced by [APPDIR]/localdump.sh and cannot started directly.

• couchdb2.sh - couchdb 2+3 - using cloudant
• couchdb.sh - couchdb1 - using a bash script
• ldap.sh (*) - openLdap - experimantal
• mysql.sh (*) - Mysql/ Mariadb
• pgsql.sh (*) - PostgreSql - using pg_dump
• sqlite.sh - Sqlite sqlite3

Settings

See settings in [APPDIR]/jobs/backup.job:

dir-localdumps = /var/iml-backup
keep-days = 7

dir-localdumps configures the target base directory for dumps. Below are subdirectories for the database type. In those are the dumps containing name of database scheme and a timestamp. All dumps are gzip compressed.

keep-days contains an integer for the days to keep database dumps locally. Older dumps will be removed.

Profiles

There are a few ini files in plugins/localdump/profiles/ that autodetect local databases using standard ports, You can create your own ini files to detect a remote database or container. See https://os-docs.iml.unibe.ch/iml-backup/Configuration/Database.html
