Website Maintenance

Backups

The website and wiki are backed up weekly to the ShopServer.

Backups are stored in /pub/bworks/backups/website/

Backups are done via a cron job that runs the backupthewebsite.sh script in the same directory. Type 'crontab -l' for details:

00 11 * * 1 /mnt/pub/bworks/backups/website/backupthewebsite.sh 
00 11 * * 2-7 rsync -avz --delete -e ssh bworks@ssl.kdhx.org:public_html /mnt/pub/bworks/backups/website/.

30 * * * * /pub/bworks/backups/website/backupthewebsite.sh 

Here are the contents of that script:

#!/bin/bash

cd /pub/bworks/backups/website/ || exit 1
rsync -avz --delete -e ssh bworks@ssl.kdhx.org:public_html .
tar -czf website_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).tar.gz public_html

It's possible to “force” a backup by running /pub/bworks/backups/website/backupthewebsite.sh

Notes

April 13, 2008

In order to use Google Analytics for the bworks.org domain, I created a new gmail account for bworks — stlbworks@gmail.com.

I had been using Google Analytics to collect data from my own gmail account, but this needed to be moved to a neutral account and we needed a gmail account to use Google Analytics.

I exported the data for the entire year+ that we had been using Google Analytics. This files have been added to the Staff Yahoo Groups page. — Sean Burns 2008/04/13 01:47
