This utility is used to backup data to OpenStack Swift. It provides a command interface and backup rotation. It depends on a simple client library called swiftsc.
- Python 2.6 later or Python 3.2 later
- swiftsc 0.5 later
$ git clone https://github.com/mkouhei/backup2swift $ cd backup2swift $ sudo python setup.py install
or via PyPI:
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages venv $ pip install backup2swift
Firstly setup configuration file. You may save the file name of your choice as setting. Example is as folloing:
[swift] auth_url: https://example.org/auth/v1.0 username: username password: password [backup] rotate_limit: 10
The "auth_url" is swift authentication url, "username" and "password" are swift's. If you need to ignore verification of SSL certification, append option as "ignore_verify_ssl_certification: True" to [swift] section. "rotate_limit" is limitation count of rotation for backup. If this value is 3, backup is as folloing;
backup target file name: example.txt
Firstly backup object is created as same name of backup target file (that is "example.txt"):
$ bu2sw -c bu2sw.conf -p example.txt $ bu2sw -c bu2sw.conf -l example.txt
Secondly backup object is created as same name of backup target file, and first backup object is renamed added timestamp as "example.txt_YYYYMMDD-hhmmss".:
$ bu2sw -c bu2sw.conf -p example.txt $ bu2sw -c bu2sw.conf -l example.txt example.txt_20130510-113930
Backup objects named with timestamp are created until "rotate_limit" value. Old backup object is remove when execute backup over limitation.:
$ bu2sw -c bu2sw.conf -p example.txt $ bu2sw -c bu2sw.conf -l example.txt example.txt_20130510-113930 example.txt_20130510-113941 example.txt_20130510-113953 $ bu2sw -c bu2sw.conf -p example.txt $ bu2sw -c bu2sw.conf -l example.txt example.txt_20130510-113941 example.txt_20130510-113953 example.txt_20130510-114110
See also man manual of bu2sw(1).
Firstly copy pre-commit hook script.:
$ cp -f utils/pre-commit.txt .git/hooks/pre-commit
Next install python2.6 later, and python-swiftsc, py.test. Below in Debian GNU/Linux Sid system,:
$ sudo apt-get install python python-swiftsc python-pytest pep8
Then checkout 'devel' branch for development, commit your changes. Before pull request, execute git rebase.
