Setup rsnapshot

Requirements

To install rsnapshot you will need the following:
  • a installed and supported operating system (e.g. CentOS 9.x)
  • root-access
  • a fast internet connection
  • EPEL

Preliminary note

I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take.

install rsnapshot

dnf install rsnapshot

config /etc/rnsapshot.conf

vim /etc/rsnapshot.conf
  • set snapshot_root /var/cache/rsnapshot/
  • if apropriate uncomment #no_create_root 1, useful when snapshot_root points to removeable destination (usb or network)
  • only other section to touch is: Backup Points / Scripts

logfile    /var/log/rsnapshot

# If enabled, rsnapshot will write a lockfile to prevent two instances
# from running simultaneously (and messing up the snapshot_root).

# writable. Otherwise anyone can prevent the program from running.

# If your version of "du" doesn't support the -h flag, try -k flag instead.

# If this is enabled, rsync won't span filesystem partitions within a

# The default is 0 (off).

# When sync_first is enabled, it changes the default behaviour of rsnapshot.

##############################################################################
# backup_pgsql.sh
#
# by Nathan Rosenquist <nathan@rsnapshot.org>
# http://www.rsnapshot.org/
#
# This is a simple shell script to backup a PostgreSQL database with rsnapshot.
#
# The assumption is that this will be invoked from rsnapshot. Also, since it
# will run unattended, the user that runs rsnapshot (probably root) should have
# a .pgpass file in their home directory that contains the password for the
# postgres user. For example:
#
# /root/.pgpass (chmod 0600)
# *:*:*:postgres:thepassword
#
# This script simply needs to dump a file into the current working directory.
# rsnapshot handles everything else.

set shell-script being executeable

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/backup_pgsql.sh

Check rsnapshot

goto /var/cache/rsnapshot/... and check if the desired content is properly backed up.

Report rsnapshot

If you're into noise, then rsnapshot has a nifty little reporting script that's easily setup. This will send you a small e-mail with a few details as to what occurred during the backup. It's a very simple report. First, copy the script over to somewhere such as /usr/local/bin and make it executable.

cp /usr/share/doc/rsnapshot-1.3.1/utils/rsnapreport.pl /usr/local/bin
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rsnapreport.pl

Next, add --stats to the rsync's long arguments section in your host rsnapshot file. Remember the spaces are not spaces but tabs.

vim /etc/rsnapshot.conf


rsync_long_args --stats --delete        --numeric-ids   --delete-excluded

Last, edit the crontab entries that were setup earlier to pass the results of the rsnapshot run through the rsnapreport.pl script.

crontab -e

Don't forget the redirection of 2>&1 (standard errors), or they will be lost to stderr. This means redirect standard errors to the same place as standard output. That's it for reporting. You should now get a report to your e-mail address the next rsnapshot run. It will look like this output:

Logwatch integration

this is basically taken from [[http://benjaminjchapman.wordpress.com/2011/03/02/customizing-logwatch-to-get-error-messages-from-rsnapshot/]]

By default, RSnapshot generates a single logfile at “/var/log/rsnapshot”. We want to parse this file and make sure that logwatch notifies us if there are any lines in the file that contain the word “ERROR:”, as we know from looking at the log file that RSnapshot flags all errors this way:

ERROR: Errors were found in /etc/rsnapshot.conf,
  ERROR: rsnapshot can not continue. If you think an entry looks right, make
  ERROR: sure you don’t have spaces where only tabs should be.

To tackle this problem, you will create three new files:

  • /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/rsnapshot.conf
  • /etc/logwatch/conf/services/rsnapshot.conf
  • /etc/logwatch/scripts/services/rsnapshot

Create a new rsnaphot.conf under/etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/

The contents should look something like this. Basically, you’re telling Logwatch to watch /var/log/rsnapshot and you’re telling it to use some built-in date routines.

vim /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/rsnapshot.conf

# First cut at monitoring rsnapshot errors
# rsnapshot log file is /var/log/rsnapshot
# There is no archive file
#
LogFile = rsnapshot
*ApplyHttpDate

Create a new rsnapshot.conf in /etc/logwatch/conf/services/

Again, a two-line file. This tells logwatch to look at the log group that you defined in /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles and it tells it to use “RSNAPSHOT” as the title when it sends you reports.

vim /etc/logwatch/conf/services/rsnapshot.conf

LogFile = rsnapshot
Title = "RSNAPSHOT"

Create the actual program that will search through the logfile looking for information to send you

This file is /etc/logwatch/scripts/services/rsnapshot and it’s an actual script that takes the logfiles identified in the configuration files above and searches through the file looking for matching patterns. The script can be written in any language. I copied another script, which happened to be written in Perl. Here’s my very basic script:

vim /etc/logwatch/scripts/services/rsnapshot
