Manually run daily/weekly/monthly backup scripts?

Post by jbennett »

I know that there's an overall script that can be run to back up your Nagios install, but I'm wondering about the daily/weekly/and monthly scripts that are run automatically.

There are times when I come in and the server has been down overnight and the backups haven't run as they should. Since I have checks on those files, I have alerts being generated.

Being able to manually run those scripts would not only take care of those alerts, it would give me the backups that I need as well.

You can run:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts
./backup_xi.sh
or

Code: Select all

cd /root/scripts
./automysqlbackup
./autopostgresqlbackup
depending on what you are monitoring.

Hope this helps.
