Automatic remote backup of Koha MySQL database on Google drive
by Indranil Das Gupta 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Dear all, I'm sharing this blogpost here, hoping hat more people may benefit (and not just Koha users) from it: "Easy peasy way of automating remote backup on Google Drive for your Koha database" This post discusses how to automate your Koha ILS’s MySQL database backup on to Google drive and send out an email when it is complete. It shows how you can take advantage of Google Drive’s 15GB space for free (Dropbox only gives you 2GB on the free access) and do it all from the command line and save the much needed RAM for your Koha server rather than waste it on the GUI, which is also a security risk. Further this attempts to introduce the new FOSS users into details of the commands they are supposed to follow, with further reading resources, should they be interested to learn more about these. http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2016/07/27/easy-peasy-way-of-automating-re… warm regards -indranil -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.
