    Cacti Backup Guide


    This guide describes a short how-to for backing up all essential cacti files.

    [the_ad_placement id=”default-manual”]

    Generic Information
    This section provides an overview on what should be backed up as well as the script and cron
    jobs being used

    What to Backup:
    The goal of the backup is to have a full working Cacti installation restored as fast as possible.
    Therefore the following configuration files and directories should be included:

    Apache configuration
    PHP configuration
    Cacti Cronjob
    Full Cacti directory
    Backup script
    If installed: Spine
    In addition to these files, the following database needs to be saved:

    cacti

    Backup Script:
    The passwords have been changed to “xxx”.

    #!/bin/bash
    # Urban-Software.de
    # Database Backup Script

    # Set the backup filename and directory


    DATE=`date +%Y%m%d` # e.g 20130721
    FILENAME="cacti_database_$DATE.sql";
    TGZFILENAME="cacti_files_$DATE.tgz";
    BACKUPDIR="/backup/";

    # Database Credentials
    DBUSER="cactiuser";
    DBPWD="xxx";
    DBNAME="cacti";

    # FTP Backup Server credentials


    FTPHOST="127.0.0.1";
    FTPUSER="cacti";
    FTPPWD="xxx";

    echo "Creating Cacti backup for [$DATE]"

    # Where is our gzip tool for compression ?


    # The -f parameter will make sure that gzip will
    # overwrite existing files
    GZIP="/bin/gzip -f";

    # What files do we want to include ?


    # Change the directories accordingly !
    TARINCLUDE="./var/www/html
    ./etc/cron.d/cacti
    ./etc/php.ini
    ./etc/php.d
    ./etc/httpd/conf
    ./etc/httpd/conf.d
    ./usr/local/spine/etc/spine.conf
    ./usr/local/spine"

    # Which files/directories do we want to EXCLUDE ?


    TAREXCLUDE="./var/www/html/log"

    # Delete old database backups older than 3 days


    find /backup/cacti_database*.sql.gz* -mtime +3 -exec rm {} \;
    find /backup/cacti_files*.tgz* -mtime +3 -exec rm {} \;

    # Change to the root directory


    cd /

    # execute the database dump


    mysqldump --user=$DBUSER --password=$DBPWD --add-drop-table --databases $DBNAME >

    # compress the database backup


    $GZIP $BACKUPDIR$FILENAME

    # Create the Cacti files backup


    tar -czpf $BACKUPDIR$TGZFILENAME $TARINCLUDE

    # Generate MD5 crc


    md5sum $BACKUPDIR$TGZFILENAME > $BACKUPDIR$TGZFILENAME.md5
    md5sum $BACKUPDIR$FILENAME.gz > $BACKUPDIR$FILENAME.gz.md5

    # Uncomment the following to enable FTP upload


    exit

    # Upload to FTP server (on a SCP server, the transfer could be verified
    # By a md5sum execution on the remote system with a comparison of the 2 files afte
    ftp -inv $FTPHOST << EOF
    user $FTPUSER $FTPPWD
    bin
    put $BACKUPDIR$TGZFILENAME.md5 $TGZFILENAME.md5
    put $BACKUPDIR$FILENAME.gz.md5 $FILENAME.gz.md5
    put $BACKUPDIR$TGZFILENAME $TGZFILENAME
    put $BACKUPDIR$FILENAME.gz $FILENAME.gz
    bye
    EOF

    Backup Cronjob:
    The following lines have been added to /etc/cron.d/cacti:

    # Cacti Backup Schedule


    0 2 * * * root /bin/bash /backup/cacti_backup.sh &>/backup/backup.log

    Restore Procedures
    Follow these steps in order to restore your Cacti system:

    1. Create a new System with all pre-requirements satisfied ( php, mysql, apache installed,
    basic Cacti )
    2. Fetch your latest backup files ( files + database ) and put it into the tmp directory
    3. Drop and Re-Create a the cacti database and add the cacti user with your DB
    credentials ( change xxx to match your current database user/password):
    mysql –p
    > CREATE DATABASE cacti;
    > GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON cacti.* TO cacti@localhost IDENTIFIED BY “xxx”;
    > FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

    4. Execute the following commands:


    cd /
    tar –xzvf /tmp/cacti_files_yyyymmdd.tgz
    cd /tmp/
    gunzip /tmp/cacti_database_yyyymmdd.sql.gz
    mysql –u cacti –p cacti < /tmp/cacti_database_yyyymmdd.sql
