Definition backupninja::distantlvm

The definition backupninja::distantlvm provides a way to configure our own distantlvm backup action. It creates LVM logical volume snapshot, and retrieves them via ssh. It is of your responsibility to set-up sudo and authorize ssh connections from the backup server to the remote server.

This definition accepts the following parameters:

  • $ensure: default to 'present', can be 'absent'
  • $vg: lvm volume group name on the remote server
  • $lv: space separated list of logical volumes to be backed up
  • $backupdir: backup target directory (local)
  • $ssh_host: remote server hostname
  • $ssh_user: remote ssh server user
  • $ssh_port: remote ssh server port
  • $when: execution time, using backupninja format
  • $keep: if specified, keep the last $keep backups

Example:

backupninja::distantlvm { "backup_dom0_${name}":
    ensure     => 'present',
    backupdir  => '/data/backup_dom0',
    ssh_host   => 'dom0-server.uni.lu',
    ssh_user   => 'localuser',
    ssh_port   => '22',
    vg         => vg_domU,
    lv         => 'domu1-disk domu2-disk domu3-disk',
    keep       => 5,
    when       => 'mondays at 03:00'
}
