Perforce backup with rsync

692 Replies

First thing to know, I don’t really want to backup the entire perforce database since it’s huge and requires a lot of extra steps. I’m only backing up the latest version in case a doom fire happens to my apartment.
The scheduled backup is run on my p4 server A, in order to run a scheduled backup plan to push my newest project version to server B.

Create client(aka workspace) for the server A itself.

p4 -d `pwd` client -t Vuth_Auri -o Auri_Backup | p4 client -i
p4 client Auri_Backup

Then run a script in crontab.

51 * * * * bash /home/vuth/__backup/runBackup.sh

$cat runBackup.sh

p4 sync
rsync -rtz -e "ssh -p 1111 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -i /home/vuth/.ssh/id_rsa_somekey" /home/vuth/__backup/p4 vuth@123.123.123.123:/home/vuth/p4

First line get the latest version of your project to the workspace.
Second line runs rsync over a ssh connection to your remote server B.

And that’s it. Notice that this is incremental. You can add –delete to the rsync command to remove garbage from remote server B. I left it for extra safety.

    I don’t know whether it’s just me or if everyone else encountering problems with your blog.
    It appears as though some of the text on your posts are running off the screen.
    Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well?
    This might be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
    Thanks

    Today, I went to the beach front with my kids.

    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
    said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
    put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it
    pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know
    this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    First of all I would like to say wonderful
    blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear
    your mind prior to writing. I have had a hard time clearing my
    mind in getting my ideas out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing however
    it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas
    or hints? Thanks!

    I have been surfing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any
    interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me.

    In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did,
    the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.

    Snippets are of three varieties – regular snippets, rich snippets, and featured snippets.

    A primary snippet accommodates just the URL, meta title, and meta description, while rich snippets
    show further data like scores along with the elements in a fundamental snippet.
    Featured snippets are often displayed for “Wh”-questions.

    Is optimizing and establishing a snippet crucial for a web site?
    In the event you don’t set up a meta title or description on your website, nothing dangerous is going to happen. Google will pull part
    of your website’s content material and display that because the
    meta title and outline. But it is recommended to set up and
    optimize snippets manually as it may add SEO value – it is a chance to strategically place the keywords you need your webpage to rank for in important locations.
    Meta description acts as a small sneak peek into the web site content material.

    Google customers view your site. Your click on-by means of rate may be tremendously elevated and
    your web page can stand out in search results with a clear meta title, an enticing description, and a clean URL.

    I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
    The issue is something which too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy that I found this during my hunt for something relating to
    this.

    Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so
    I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.

    new to the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for rookie blog writers?
    I’d really appreciate it.
