Set up backup routine for staging.www.osgeo.org

[robe]

The new beta website server

staging.www.osgeo.org

is not yet in our backup routine and needs to be especially when people start doing some serious editing.

I assume we need to setup Bacula but not sure the details of that.

Reference wiki page about Bacula: ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC:Bacula It would be good to also refresh/renew that page if needed

I've set up a first shot at backing up the staging machine,

I just added a cronjob to backup the database and website nightly to folder /var/www/backups.

I presume that folder will be picked up by Bacula based on the above link strk provided.

I feel this is necessary in case someone makes a mistake midday to a table or entry and needs to pull a record from old database. Much easier too from SQL backup than the actual mysql db files.

I have the database rotate daily (keep 7 days) but only one website backup since it's about 1.5GB.

I think we are done enough with this. Closing it out.
