App::MBUtiny

What is App::MBUtiny?

App::MBUtiny is a tool written in Perl language that allows you to backup your data. As a storage for your backups, you can use a local folder, a folder located on other media, an SFTP or FTP remote folder, an HTTP server and any other file storage facility

Archive files can be maked by simply copying objects (files, directories, etc.), and then compressing them using standard compression utilities, such as tar, gzip, zip, bzip2, xz, rar, etc. In addition to regular copying, copying is also supported "in exclusion mode"; this is when the folder and files are copied, excluding some of them.

App::MBUtiny also supports the execution of third-party tools for the making of objects for further backup, for example: mysqldump, pg_dump, svnadmin dump

How it works

Example of config file

<Host foo>
	Enable          yes

	<SendMail>
		To          to@example.com
		Cc          cc@example.com
		From        from@example.com
		SMTP        192.168.0.1
	</SendMail>

	SendReport      no
	SendErrorReport yes

	BUday           3
	BUweek          3
	BUmonth         3

	Trigger test -d ./test || mkdir ./test
	Trigger ls -la > ./test/my.lst
	Trigger test -d ./test/foo || mkdir ./test/foo
	Trigger echo test > ./test/foo/test1.txt
	Trigger echo test > ./test/foo/test2.txt
	Trigger ls -la > ./test/foo/dir.lst
	Trigger test -d ./test/bar || mkdir ./test/bar
	Trigger echo test > ./test/bar/test1.txt
	Trigger echo test > ./test/bar/test2.txt
	Trigger echo test > ./test/bar/test3.txt
	Trigger ls -la > ./test/bar/dir.lst
	Trigger test -d ./test/bar/exc || mkdir ./test/bar/exc
	Trigger ls -la > ./test/bar/exc/dir.lst

	Trigger mysqldump -f -h mysql.host.com -u user --port=3306 --password=password \
			--add-drop-table --default-character-set=utf8 \
			--databases databasename > ./test/databasename.sql

	Object ./test/dir.lst
	Object ./test/foo
	Object ./test/databasename.sql

	<Collector>
		URL        https://user:password@collector.example.com/collector.cgi
		Comment    Collector said blah-blah-blah # Optional for collector
		TimeOut    15
	</Collector>

	<Local>
		FixUP       off
		Localdir    ./test/mbutimy-local1
		Localdir    ./test/mbutimy-local2
		#Comment     Local storage said blah-blah-blah # Optional for collector
	</Local>

	<SFTP>
		FixUP       on
		URL         sftp://user@example.com:22/path/to/backup/dir1
		URL         sftp://user@example.com:22/path/to/backup/dir2
		Set         key_path /path/to/private/file.key
		Comment     SFTP storage said blah-blah-blah # Optional for collector
	</SFTP>
</Host>

Example of collector CGI script

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use utf8;

use CGI;
use App::MBUtiny::Collector::Server "/mbutiny";

my $q = new CGI;
my $server = new App::MBUtiny::Collector::Server(
	project => "MBUtiny",
	ident   => "mbutiny",
	log     => "on",
	logfd   => fileno(STDERR),
);
$server->status or die($server->error);
print $server->call($q->request_method, $q->request_uri, $q) or die($server->error);
