Requirements

It needs from bash and some standard unix programs. Full list:

• bash

It has some default values you can change easily at the beginning of the file:

RUNDECK_SERVICE=rundeckd
TMPDIR=/tmp
DEFAULT_BACKUP_FILE=rundeck-backup-date +%Y%m%d.tar.gz


How to use it

And it pretty easy to use. For a backup, you just need to do:

[[email protected] ~]# ./rundeck-backup.sh backup rundeck.tar.gz
OK - backup finished successfully using /root/rundeck-backup.tar.gz

If there’s no filename, the backup will be saved with today’s name:

[[email protected] ~]# ./rundeck-backup.sh backup
OK - backup finished successfully using /root/rundeck-backup-20130327.tar.gz

And for the recovery, as easy as:

[[email protected] ~]# ./rundeck-backup.sh restore
Rundeck service is not running, so jobs can't be restored. Do you want to start rundeck? (y/N) y
