Easy backup script for Meteor App

1. Create a backup directory where you want to store your backup. EG. /backup
2. Change the variable of the script to your liking.

• dbName is the name of the MongoDB base.
• cfsLoc is the location of your CFS directory if needed.
• curdate is the date command format you want to use.
• backupLoc is the directory you've created to store your backup.

3. Set a cron to run the script when you want. EG.

0 2 * * 0 sh /backup/backup.sh >> /backup/logs 2>&1 for every monday at 2:00 AM.

4. You should REALLY add a SCP or any other way to extract your backup from the server

If your backup are store in /backup, as root, run the following command:

sh /backup/backup.sh >> /backup/logs 2>&1

If your backup are store in /backup, as root, run the following commands where 11-11-11 is the backup date:

• tar -xf mongo-11-11-11.tar.gz -C mongo-11-11-11
• mongorestore --dir mongo-11-11-11
• tar -xf cfs-11-11-11.tar.gz -C cfs-11-11-11
• cp -r cfs-11-11-11 /opt/mywebsite/cfs
• rm -r mongo-11-11-11 cfs-11-11-11
