Sadler.</blockquote><p>Below is a quick and dirty way in which I backup all my repositories that are hosted at git.davidtsadler.com.</p><pre><code class="shell">#!/bin/sh + +DATE_PREFIX=$(date +%Y%m%d) + +BACKUP_DIRECTORY=/tmp + +BACKUP_FILE=&quot;${BACKUP_DIRECTORY}/${DATE_PREFIX}-repositories.tar.gz&quot; + +BACKUP_FILES=&quot;${BACKUP_DIRECTORY}/*-repositories.tar.gz&quot; + +REPOSITORIES=/home/git/*.git + +tar -czf $BACKUP_FILE $REPOSITORIES + +find $BACKUP_FILES -mtime +3 -delete + +exit 0</code></pre><p>All it does it tar and gzip any .git directories found under /home/git. It also removes any backups that are more than three days old.</p><p>This script has been saved as /usr/bin/backup_repositories and is ran daily via cron.</p><pre><code class="cron">0 3 * * * /usr/bin/backup_repositories &gt; /dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1</code></pre><p>It is important to know that this backup strategy is far from ideal for repositories that are heavily used as you run the high risk of trying to backup a repository as users are pushing to it. As git updates a repository in two phases this will lead to a backup that may not contain all the data and so won't be suitable for restoring. However its fine for my purposes since I'm the only user and it's unlikely that I will be making changes during the time the backup is running.</p><h3>Links</h3><a href="/posts/git/2021-05-29/setting-up-a-self-host-git-server/">2021-05-29 - Setting up a Self Hosted Git Server</a><a href="/posts/git/">Git - Read More Posts.</a><p>I don't have comments as I don't want to manage them.
