I did a first pass at creating a backup process for gerrit.ovirt.org:
This is now: http://ovirt.org/wiki/Gerrit_server_backup It includes the addition of a PostgreSQL database backup script. All the backups for this are found on the remote host (ovirt.org) /home/gerrit-backup. In testing I've run initial backups and copies to the remote host of the git repo and gerrit database; they'll also run tonight in a few hours (10 and 10:20 pm East coast time.) - - Karsten
Right now it uses rsync on /usr/local/src/git to a remote directory at ovirt.org:/home/gerrit-backup/gerrit.ovirt.org-src-backup/src/ .
So that's my hacky process and bash script to start. Very open to other ideas.
One I'm not clear on is what we really need backed up from gerrit.ovirt.org? I'd like us to get /etc in a private git repo, maybe we just do that as a single repo that we distribute across all hosts' /root directories? Should we also be using git for backing up the git repo - so have gerrit-backup on the remote host pull changes instead of pushing a directory structure via rsync?
Itamar mentions that we need to backup the Gerrit DB, which I'll work on next. I reckon that's a combination of a dump of the database and rsyncing the results to the remote host?
