Configuration file

A common YAML config file for backupper looks like this:

mailer:
  from: support@email.com # Gmail account used to send report email
  to: pioz@email.com      # Send report email to this address
  password: Pa$$w0rD      # Gmail account password

db1:
  disabled: false                              # true to disable this backup
  dump: '/home/backup/db1'                     # path where to save the dump of the database
  extra_copy: '/mnt/backup-disk/backups/db1'   # path where to save a extra copy of the dump
  username: user                               # server ssh username
  host: '1.2.3.4'                              # server ssh ip
  port: 22                                     # server ssh port
  password: Pa$$w0rD                           # server ssh password
  adapter: mysql                               # database to backup (supported are mysql or postgresql)
  database: db_name                            # database name
  db_username: db_user                         # database username
  db_password: db_Pa$$w0rD                     # database password
  dump_options: '--single-transaction --quick' # dump command extra options

db2:
  disabled: false
  dump: '/home/backup/db2'
  extra_copy: '/mnt/backup-disk/backups/db2'
  username: user
  host: '1.2.3.4'
  port: 22
  password: Pa$$w0rD
  adapter: postgresql
  database: db_name
  db_username: db_user
  db_password: db_Pa$$w0rD

After done all backups a report email is sent to you using gmail smtp service (remember to permit less secure app here).

⚠️ WARNING: the backupper configuration file contains many important passwords, so be careful to lock it and protect it with care!

To backup only specific databases you can pass the option -o db1,db3. In this way only databases under the key db1 and db3 will be backupped, ignoring the others configuration keys.
