Install Mozzie Backup for Linux

1. Create a backup set using the web console. Enter you backup "logon name" and password (note: this is the same logon name emailed to you when you first registered with Mozzie - they are case sensitive,).

Be sure to at least fill out:

--Name
--Type
--Backup Source
--Backup Schedule
--"Run scheduled backup on computers named" ________ (use #hostname on the linux machine if you don't know the name)
--Retention Customisation Policy
--After clicking update, click back on backup set to ensure everything is as you expect.

The following actions are performed as user with root-level access on your Linux system.

1. Create the file structure and download the Mozzie backup installer (obm-nix.tar.gz)

2. Unpack the install file to /usr/local/obm

# gunzip obm-nix.tar.gz
# tar -xf obm-nix.tar

3. Install Mozzie backup

# ./bin/install.sh >install.log

Installation information can be found in the file "install.log"

Look for any install issues #cat install.log
Ensure obm is now running. Should be output from: # ps -ef | grep obm

The backup scheduler and auto-upgrade services are automatically installed

4. Start the Configurator to link your Linux machine with your Mozzie backup account (refer to the email from Mozzie for your backup account name)

#sh /usr/local/obm/bin/Configurator.sh

Note: If you receive any java heap errors, the application is trying to use more physical memory than you have available.

Workaround: #cd /usr/local/obm/bin Use vi to replace Xmx512m or Xmx256m in both Configurator.sh and RunBackupSet.sh (only one entry in each). We've used Xmx32m in both files and it works fine.

Optional Running Backup Set

You don't have to run this now; however, it'll get your data protected now, and it'll prove all above worked.

# sh /usr/local/obm/bin/RunBackupSet.sh [BACKUP_SET]
where [BACKUP_SET] is the name of backup set to be run. e,g, if you created BackupSet-0

#sh /usr/local/obm/bin/RunBackupSet.sh BackupSet-0

Stopping and Starting Processes

If you need to manually stop / start process, create an executable file name.

Stop

#cat stop.sh
sh "/etc/init.d/obmscheduler" stop
sh "/etc/init.d/obmaua" stop

Start
#cat start.sh
sh "/etc/init.d/obmscheduler" start &
sh "/etc/init.d/obmaua" start &

------------------------------------------

If you don't want to use resources with leaving the scheduler running, use native cron in linux:

#crontab -e
0 0 * * * /usr/local/obm/bin/RunBackupSet.sh BackupSet-0

where first five entries are
minute
hour
day
month
week of year

and BackupSet-0 is the name of your backup set.
