backups

[Sbergonzi]

I'm doing research on backing up the system and have read through http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ios-XI.pdf.

I noticed in /store/backups there are daily/weekly/monthly backups as well. Are these backups done by default automatically and I should rsync this information to another server or should I use the script (backup_xi.sh) and just backup the single file produced?

thank you!

All you need is the *.tar.gz file in "/store/backups/nagiosxi/" directory. It's a full backup that you can actually transfer to a different server, and restore XI from it.

However, if you didn't run the backup script, you wouldn't have the *tar.gz file to restore from...

The daily/weekly/monthly backups are run automatically on a cron.

You can view the cron entries by running:

Code: Select all

grep auto /etc/cron.d/nagiosxi
