REQUIREMENTS
For description and changelog see README file.
Alfresco BART needs Duplicity (Python backup tool). Install it or Alfresco BART won’t work. Most Linux distributions have readymade Duplicity packages available. If you encounter errors using the distro’s duplicity please double check if the version is outdated on http://duplicity.nongnu.org.
Please try using the latest stable Duplicity version (0.6.21) from the Duplicity website before filing bug reports. If you install Duplicity from the website’s tarball check next “Requirements” before:
- Python v2.4 or later
- librsync v0.9.6 or later
- GnuPG for encryption
- NcFTP version 3.1.9 or later
- Boto 1.6a or later
Other Alfresco BART dependences are:
- mysqldump for MySQL backup
- pg_dump for PostgreSQL backup
- imp for Oracle backup
INSTALLATION
- Create a GPG key for encryption support “gpg –gen-key” (double dash before gen), encryption is recommended.
- Copy the files “alfresco-bart.*” to the “scripts” directory inside your Alfresco installation directory or simply use it from anywhere in your file system (anyways I recommend to install it in your Alfresco installation).
- Check the executable permissions on “alfresco-bart.sh”, it must be executable (“chmod +x alfresco-bart.sh”).
- Protect permissions for alfresco-bart.properties, it must be set as read only for the user who runs the backup, i.e. to assign read permission only for the owner type “chmod 400 alfresco-bart.properties”.
- Edit ALFBRT_PATH variable in “alfresco-bart.sh”, read, understand and configure all required options in “alfresco-bart.properties”.
- Run “./alfresco-bart.sh” to get usage help
- Add “0 5 * * * /path/to/alfresco-bart.sh backup” to the appropriate crontab if you want to run your backup daily at 5AM (after Alfresco’s nightly backups and maintenance jobs). First time you run “alfresco-bart.sh backup” it will do a full backup then incremental backups as you configure in alfresco-bart.properties.
Toni,
Mirando las retenciones por defecto tenemos lo siguiente:
FULLDAYS=30D
BACKUP_POLICIES_ENABLED=true
CLEAN_TIME=12M
MAXFULL=6
No sé si va relacionado, pero ¿Existe alguna posibidad de realizar full-backups diarios? ¿Se puede forzar de alguna forma?
FULLDAYS=1D
BACKUP_POLICIES_ENABLED=true
CLEAN_TIME=3M
MAXFULL=0

Hi Natale, I don´t speak italian, would you like to open this issue in our project page in Github here? We will be able to track it down better https://github.com/toniblyx/alfresco-backup-and-recovery-tool/issues
Toni muchas gracias por esta herramienta, tengo una duda respecto a la restauración en otra maquina, respecto a este punto que aparece en gidhub “HOW TO RESTORE YOUR BACKUP IN A DIFFERENT SEVER
1- Install Alfresco BART as usual. 2- Copy the directory ~/.gnupg from de original server to the new one (if gpg encryption is used). 3- Run the recovery wizard as usual. 4- Enjoy restoring your disaster recovery environment.”
A que se refiere con “Copy the directory ~/.gnupg”, estoy un poco perdido (Si estoy usando gpp encryption), lo otro la opción de restauración, no realiza una restauración de la base de datos entiendo?, este punto tendría que realizarse de forma manual?
Quedo atento a tus comentarios y muchas gracias por tu colaboración!
