Simple bash script to take nightly MongoDB backups:

#!/bin/sh
 DIR=`date +%m%d%y`
 DEST=/db_backups/$DIR
 mkdir $DEST
 mongodump -h <your_database_host> -d <your_database_name> -u <username> -p <password> -o $DEST

NOTE: db_backups folder shoud already be created by mkdir /db_backups.


Put it in a crontab for nightly backups. First open crotab:

sudo crontab -e

Create a new line (entry) in crontab and paste the below cron task:

45 1 * * * ../../scripts/db_backup.sh

NOTE: here our script is called db_backup.sh, should you use your own script name here. and make it executable by chmod +x /your/ full_path/scripts/db_backup.sh


#mongodb #backup #cron #cronjob #coderwall #mongodump #bash

With mysqldump you can export databases. with --port parameter you can specify which port it should connects. If you provide localhost for --host parameter, mySQL will use sockets and port will be ignored.

So be careful with it!

#mysql #mysqldump #port #port_ignorance #3306 #backup #database_backup #sockets #ip_address #localhost

Have you seen some backup disks that has just an ethernet port like WD (western digital) with 8TB of capacity? if you don't know some commands to mount them or access its dashbaord, things could get a little bit harder.

LED color in front of the disk:
- blue LED is blinking: getting ready to serve data (if disk is almost full it may take 2 to 3 hours)

- blue LED is on with no blinking: LAN is connected and device is ready.

- red LED is blinking: there is something wrong with the device, maybe bad cluster or something else!

- red LED is not blinking: Device is ready, but LAN cable is not connected.

This LED color and its behaviour is almost always the same on other devices too. So memorize them :)

To get the IP address of WD (My Cloud) ping the domain as below:
ping wdmycloud.local

To see the GUI dashbaord open a browser and head over to:
- http://wdmycloud.local

To mount the device first check that the blue LED is on without blinking on the disk then create the destination directory if not exist:
mkdir -p /mnt/my_backup_folder

Now mount the disk with the command below (you can see folders like MyFolder from dashboard->Shares menu):
sudo mount -t nfs MyCloudIPAddress:/nfs/MyFolder /mnt/my_backup_folder


NOTE: dashboard default username is admin and it has no password by default.

NOTE: if you want to reset the password: https://support.wdc.com/knowledgebase/answer.aspx?ID=13986

Backup mysql database and gzip 9 it:

mysqldump -u $user -h $host --port=$port --password=$password $db_name | gzip -9 > "$backup_file_name"

#mysql #backup #gzip9
