dirvish

Module for creating and managing a backup solution using Dirvish. The module will deploy Dirvish to the backup server (the host with dirvish applied) and then create a vault for each entry in $vaults. The module will attempt to initialize the vault, so it is recommended to deploy the dirvish::client classes first.

Dependencies

• puppetlabs-stdlib
• GregSutcliffe-ssh_statickeys

Parameters

init.pp

[backup_location] The core path that the backups should live in. Defaults to /srv/backups. The parent of this path should exist, or Puppet will be unable to create the dir.

[vaults] A hash of data describing the backups to be performed.

client.pp

[pre_template] The location of a template that should be used to populate /etc/dirvish/pre_client on the clients.

[pre_script] A string to be deployed to be deployed to /etc/dirvish/pre_client. Overrides pre_template if specified.

If neither of these are specified, the pre_client script will simply execute true

[declare_rsync] Set this to false if you have rsync declared elsewhere in your manifest.

Examples

class { dirvish:
  backup_location => '/backups'
}

This will create a non-functional sample backup configuration in /backups. For a more complete example backing up /etc with some sample excludes on localhost, try:

class { 'dirvish::client':
  pre_template => "mystuff/dirvish_pre.erb"
} ->
class { 'dirvish':
  vaults => {
               testbackup => {
                 client   => $::hostname,
                 tree     => '/etc',
                 excludes => [
                   '*hosts*',
                   '/etc/puppet'
                 ]
               }
             },
  backup_location => '/backups'
}
