Backup & Restore (dump & restore)

Posted by: admin at 1 Monday 29th, 2009

FreeBSD 7.1 and reliable backup procedures published in the test.
The most important is the following.
  • To make a backup of the backup must be able to quickly and reliably is necessary to single-user mode, you need to blank short time.
  • Cumbersome backup process will not be able to continue.
  • To restore OKONAE along the steps, others (including his own after a few months) if you can understand this state must be able to ensure.
I have built a server FreeBSD4.8 period of time the backup was done to a tape device, the recent view that the HDD is a good way to OKONATTA.
Backup to tape, it takes time, and reliability of thin media experience greater capacity than what the HDD is a daily backup tapes must be enormous considering the life of the tape media, real There are無KUNARI.
Once in the past, RAID5 HDD configuration when two cars crashed at the same time, the backup of a few months ago ... I was getting myself in a situation that IMASHI think the best way to get a daily backup However, now we have settled down in this way.

Backup (dump)

Original server and the backup is as follows. 
 ns# df
Filesystem  1K-blocks    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a   1012974  153114  778824    16%    /

Mount the device to store the backup data

 ns# dmesg|more

[q] to quit the show. (See man more)

Initialize and mount a backup destination

It is necessary only if the first device connected.
Second time is unnecessary. 
 ns# sysinstall
use sysinstall is a very long time, relying on past memories 
 ns# /stand/sysinstall
I, the following error DEMASHITA. 
 /stand/sysinstall: Command not found.
 

 ns# which sysinstall
/usr/sbin/sysinstall
With the recent FreeBSD it is.
Typically, / usr / sbin so should I go to the path, sysinstall is a good reason only.

0 DANPUREBERU 0 (full)
u after a successful dump, / etc / dumpdates database updates.

L FreeBSD5.0 use the snapshot feature on board.
With this feature, the need to reduce single-user mode.
C 8-32 cache size (unit: MB) by a number between, improving performance dramatically.
However, L is an option if you do not, C is a good option is removed.
(More info)
f you specify a file for backup power.
Likewise, do any of the other three. (High capacity /usr etc. It takes a little time) 
 ns# dump -0uaLC 32 -f /backup/var.dump /var 
 
 ns# dump -0uaLC 32 -f /backup/usr.dump /usr 
 
 ns# dump -0uaLC 32 -f /backup/home.dump /home
This is the complete backup.

If you want more safety, the dump file that was created as a temporary file handling, should I copy to another media.

Crunch! For at that moment in the versions of the ftp site to download the livefs.iso LiveFS CD you create.
And "FreeBSD XX emergency boot disk" is written near the server (where glaring) on you.

Restore (restore)

We verify the following configurations.
  • New server (the server boot disk OS What matters is not installed)
  • Above the primary-slave server with the backup data to connect the IDE-HDD

Start Fixt

[Fixit] select the [Enter] button.

Run fixit.


Device partition you just created (ad0s1a ~ ad0s1f) Make sure you are registered.
Fixit# ls /dev


Partition you just created the / mnt /mnt located below. 
 Fixit# ls /mnt
.snap/  dev/   home/   usr/   var/

Mount the HDD with the backup data

With backup data in order to mount the HDD / mntbk /mntbk a directory. 
 Fixit# mkdir /mntbk
Fixit# _
The IDE-HDD is the Master-Slave connection for the "ad1s1" is the device name.
ad1s1 c of c for, please see here. 
 Fixit# mount /dev/ad1s1c /mntbk
Fixit# _

start restore

ルート（ / ）をrestore 
 Fixit# cd /mnt
Fixit# restore -rf /mntbk/root.dump

/varをrestore 
 Fixit# cd /mnt/var
Fixit# restore -rf /mntbk/var.dump

/usrをrestore 
 Fixit# cd /mnt/usr
Fixit# restore -rf /mntbk/usr.dump

/homeをrestore 
 Fixit# cd /mnt/home
Fixit# restore -rf /mntbk/home.dump

In many cases, usr and restore a large error in the following. 
 Fixit# cd /mnt/usr
Fixit# restore -rf /mntbk/usr.dump

/: write failed, filesystem is full

Try making space in /tmp/, or set environment variable TMPDIR
to an alternate location with more disk space.
Fixit# _
This is, restore occurs because the amount of work required for temporary files.
If so, the following method to change the TMP again please restore directory. 
 Fixit# mkdir /mntbk/tmp
Fixit# TMPDIR=/mntbk/tmp
Fixit# export TMPDIR
/ mntbk the HDD is a matter of data backup.
TMP here to create a directory means that you use.
After this, the need is some SEMARA / mntbk / tmp if you delete the directory, run the command will prevent almost all.
In this case, as follows: Replace the TMP directory. 
 Fixit# TMPDIR=/tmp
Fixit# export TMPDIR

Rewriting fstab

It is not necessary to rewrite work, let's check.
The difference between the order of the partition created, led to a situation that does not start, I caught two days ...

Make sure to mount the current situation. 
 Fixit# df
Filesystem      1K-blocks    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/md0             4175    2449    1726    59%    /

Then open your fstab.
Fixit# vi /mnt/etc/fstab

/dev/acd0         /cdrom             cd9660   ro,noauto       0        0

I notice the differences underlined.
Device name "ad0s1e" and "ad0s1d" have not been mounted in the reverse name.
If you like this, "/ mnt / etc / fstab" opens in the editor, please save corrected.

That's it!
LiveFS CD without a rise to restart.

Aftertreatment

When you perform a restore, the current directory of each partition will create a file called restoresymtable.
This is what will be required to restore an incremental backup, restore and remove you when you are finished. 
 ns# ls /
.cshrc        boot          entropy          mnt             sys
.profile      cdrom         etc              proc            tmp
.snap         compat        home             rescue          usr
