Backupninja Module ------------------- Configure Backupninja handlers via Puppet. Simply include backupninja (to make sure you've got the package installed) then configure backupninja: backupninja::config { conf: loglvl => 3, usecolors => false } And setup your handlers: backupninja::mysql { all_databases: user => root, backupdir => '/var/backups', compress => true, sqldump => true } backupninja::rdiff { backup_all: directory => '/media/backupdisk', include => ['/var/backups', '/home', '/var/lib/dpkg/status'], exclude => '/home/*/.gnupg' } A remote rdiff backup handler: backupninja::rdiff { "main": host => "backup.example.com", type => "remote", directory => "/backup/$fqdn", user => "backup-$hostname", } If you configure a backupninja::server, it will collect those users and create them. We have yet to create proper authorized_keys management to make that process completely automatic. At the moment, not all the backupninja handlers are available, they are relatively easy to add however.
