ISPConfig 3 - back-res a Backup and Restore script

[jmp51483]

I'm receiving the following error when trying to use your script... any ideas??

./back-res: line 238: [: -gt: unary operator expected
mysql.general_log
note : The storage engine for the table doesn't support optimize
mysql.slow_log
note : The storage engine for the table doesn't support optimize

This is because that particular database is not supporting the optimize option of mysql. This is an error which does NOT really interfere with the backup option, the database is still backed up, you can check this by looking at the database archive from that day.

This appears because I've included an optimize function of all databases before back up.

Hey thanks for the response!

I was more a bit worried about this part

./back-res: line 238: [: -gt: unary operator expected

Line 238 has to do with:

if [ "$pfs" -gt "$maxp" ] ;then

Is this rendering the space check inoperable??

Thanks for this script though, it's amazing!

Would this work if I built another server completely identical, and then copied the files from one to the other... and restored.. almost creating a mirror situation?

I am getting the "./back-res: line 238: [: -gt: unary operator expected" error as well.

I am running CentOS 5.4 if that helps.

Things seem to be backing up...

It's possible to render the space check inoperable. I'm not sure why you get this message. This error happens only if one of the $pfs or $maxp is inexistent, is not a number, or is a decimal number (ex: 10.5)

I've tested this script on Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 and more versions of Slackware (10.2 up to 13.0) and it's working as expected, no errors.
If you can read this: http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linuxcommand.org/wss0100.php and use "set" to see where the error is, post it here and I'll try to make the script better if I can.

Thank you for using this script and for providing feedback.

Edit: Can you please tell me what linux are you using? This will help me I hope to make the script better and more portable.

If you don't forget some usefull dir the response is yes. Be carefull to NOT include the /proc or other stuff which is automagically created at kernel start.

Thank you for feedback.

I hope I'll have some time in this weekend to improve the script. I'm downloading CentOS and I will test the script to see what I'm missing. I think it must be something related to the bash settings used.

Thank you for your time.

I am currently running Ubuntu 9.10. I will follow up with more shortly.
