2015-04-17fix autoload, first attemptJerome Charaoui
2011-03-30Useful to control when a cron job runs to avoid all servers backing upJamie McClelland
at the same time. Also, specifying the backupninja command allows for wrapping it in other commands (e.g. to execute it from within a ssh-agent session so that authentication can happen via the monkeysphere).
2009-03-09fix the $when default parameter to use the correct syntaxMicah Anderson
If when is set to just '01:00' (as it was previously), then backups will never run due to the time format being specified incorrectly. Backupninja considers '01:00' to be the day of the week and every time it wakes up to see if it is time to do a backup it determines that it is currently not the day "01:00" and so it shouldn't do a backup now. In otherwords, it will never do a backup at this rate. I've filed a bug for this issue, because it probably should at least let you know that you've failed. https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/show/640

2008-05-21I dont like how any of this is done, but it needs to be working again,Micah Anderson
and then made better later. The ninjareport is a pretty bad way of collecting all the backupninja reports into one email called the 'ninjareport' which contains all the hosts with backupninja problems, and a notice about any hosts that haven't reported in for a while. The way it works is each participating host has a limited command ssh key installed in /root/.ssh/id_rsa which enables it to rsync its /var/log/backupninja.log to ninja@admin:/var/lib/backupninja/reports/$hostname.log. After the backup runs on the host, it does this rsync. On v.admin, there is a /var/lib/backupninja/.ssh/authorized_keys which has the ssh public key part of each host's ssh key, command-limited to only allow an rsync of their backupninja.log file. There is a cronjob there that runs once a day and collects new logs and does some basic figuring and then collects those all into one email. There are *many* ways that this needs to be improved. From the puppet side, the approach is all wrong, and there is a lot of dupliacted configuration that is being done, it needs to be turned into a define and export and collection needs to be done. The whole thing needs to be redesigned from the ground up, but I don't have the mental space to do it right now, and it needs to work :(
