radogost

Radogost is an old god of hospitality in the Slavic mythology.

This project is a set of scripts to:

• fetch backup from remote machines using scp

Download

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/goodylabs/radogost.git

Install in crontab

The following will install a crontab entry with fetching:

• files that match regexp: backup_*.sql.gz
• from a remote directory /home/some_remote_user/backup
• from a remote machine somehost.com:22

and put it in $HOME/project_x into local user. It will autorotate old backups and only latest 3 will remain in that directory.

{ crontab -l ; echo '38 5 * * * $HOME/radogost/scripts/fetch_latest_backups.sh somehost.com 22 /home/some_remote_user/backup "backup_*.sql.gz" $HOME/project_x 3'; } | crontab -
