  • 1.  get logs for manual backup procedure

    Posted Aug 30, 2017 07:39 PM

    Hi community:

     

     

    I ran amp_backup command at night to get a manual backup of my server and I don´t know if the archive is complete.So, I have this two questions:

     

    Is there any command on CLI to check if the file is complete?

    Is there any log to check all the procedure of getting the backup?

     

     

    Regards,

    I'm assuming you're on a pre-8.2.4 version.  It'll be slightly different in 8.2.4, so I'll outline both:

     

    pre-8.2.4:

    -manual backups result in backup file in /alternative as 'databackup.tar.gz'

    -check backup size, compare against backup size in /var/airwave-backup

    -see backup log: /var/log/nightly_backup to verify backup completion, last line of a backup should be '(finished tar)'

     

    post-8.2.4:

    -all backups are visible from CLI in listing format when you view 'download file' option, daily backups are named 'nightly_data###.tar.gz', manual backups are named 'ampbackup_date.tar.gz'

    -again, compare backup sizes

    -if you download the backup package from system, you can open and view the nightly_backup file to check to see if complete
