puppet-rsnapshot

Introduction

puppet-rsnapshot is a rsnapshot puppet module. It is based on the following assumptions:

  • All machines have rsync over ssh
  • All backups consist of the entire file system of the machine
  • It takes less than two hours to backup all machines

If this does not match the intended usage pattern, it may be better to consider an alternative.

A ssh key is created on the puppet master ( by the rsnapshot::puppetmaster class ) and installed in the root authorized_keys file of each machines to be backuped ( by the rsnapshot::client class ). The machine running rsnapshot has one configuration file per client ( generated by the rsnapshot::server class ). It runs each backup in sequence, starting in the middle of the night. The health of the backups can be monitored by nagios using a nagios plugin ( installed by the rsnapshot::nagios class ).

Usage

puppet-rsnapshot is a puppet module that should be installed in the puppet master as follows

git clone http://redmine.the.re/git/puppet-rsnapshot.git /etc/puppet/modules/rsnapshot

or

puppet module install puppet-rsnapshot

Here is an example usage of the module extracted from a manifest:

node 'bm0001.the.re' { class { 'rsnapshot::puppetmaster': } class { 'rsnapshot::client': excludes => [ '/var/lib/glance', '/var/lib/nova', '/media/turnkey', ] } }

node 'rsnapshot.novalocal' { class { 'rsnapshot::server': ip => "5.9.88.172,${::ipaddress}", } }

node 'jenkins.novalocal', 'redmine.novalocal', 'there.novalocal' { class { 'rsnapshot::client': ip => $::ipaddress, } }

node 'debian.novalocal' { class { 'rsnapshot::client': ip => $::ipaddress, excludes => [ '/media/debian' ], } } node 'nagios.novalocal' { class { 'rsnapshot::nagios: } }
