OpenShift Backup Service

OpenShift Backup Service(OSBS) is a simple cartridge that helps you manage backups for your applications

• Schedule Backups
• Download/Restore Backups
• Automatically backup when a gear is stopped so you always have the latest data

Version:

0.1

Installation:

rhc app create osbs http://tinyurl.com/OpenShiftBackupService http://cartreflect-claytondev.rhcloud.com/reflect?github=smarterclayton/openshift-redis-cart cron

Make note of the password that is printed out.

That's it for the server cartridge. Now you need to add the client to your applications you want to back up:

rhc cartridge add -a <application to backup> -c http://tinyurl.com/OpenShiftBackupClient

Usage:

Go to osbs-<namespace>.rhcloud.com and login with admin and the password that was printed when you created the application.

To Schedule a backup:

• Click Schedule Backup on the left hand menu
• From the first dropdown list select the gear you want to back up
• In the 2nd dropdown list select how offten you want to backup the gear
  • If you schedule a gear for Once it will schedule a backup to run in the next minute(this only run once)

To download/restore a backup:

• Click Gear List on the left hand menu
• Then Click Manage next to the application

Notes:

• The OSBS gear has to stay running
  • Since we use cron for the scheduling of backups, if the gear goes idle or stopped the cron jobs will no longer be ran
  • If you are a silver user or running this in an enterprise environment this should not affect you.
