[Gluster-users] How to automate GlusterFS Backup with snapshots?
I want to automate backups on a glusterfs 3.7.3 share with snapshots. Creating snapshots manualy works, but how are they secured to a different server? I was able manage that process manually by doing the following: sudo umount /run/gluster/snaps/7cb4b2c8f8a64ceaba62bc4ca6cd76b2/brick1 sudo dd if=/dev/mapper/gluster-506cb09085b2428e9daca8ac0857c2c9_0 | gzip > snap01.gz That seems to work, but how could I possibly know the snapshot name? I took this info here from df -h The snapshots are located here: /var/lib/glusterd/snaps/ But those are not only a few KB and I would like to be able to do a full recover of the snapshot., I also tried to run the command mentioned in the docs:> to mount snapshot volume: > mount -t glusterfs <hostname>:/snaps/<snap-name>/<origin-volname>/<mount_point> This did not work. There seems not to be any folder called /snaps/ as when I press tab I get suggestion for vol1 but nothing else. Thank you in advance for any help -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
