Script to backup export

[HristoGrigorov]

Hi,

I re-wrote a little the script I am using to backup export management server database and configuration and upload it to a remote FTP server.

I know few people here are using it so attached is probably better version of what it was.

You need to configure some variables in CONFIG section in the beginning. 

Also, you need to make sure no GUI clients are connected currently to management server or cpstop, backup and then cpstart. 

02-Mar-19: Attached new version that will now check and fail (can be configured to continue) if GUI client is connected.

Hi,

Just to my understanding, why don't use the embedded Gaia backup capabilities ?

Migrate export require to stop some service, and it take more time.

Any benefits to use this method ?

Thanks

A while ago built in backup was broken and that was recommended as alternative solution. If there is no GUI currently connected there is no need to stop services?

Indeed, if no GUI currently connected no need to stop services, my bad.
Anyway, great script for alternative backup solution
