fresh-backups
Name
fresh-backups - Plugin to monitor the freshness of backup files
Applicable Systems
Any system with some automated backup creating or updating archive files.
This works well with backup-manager.
Configuration
The following example checks all tar.bz2 files in /path/to/your/backups/, and counts all those that are less than 2 days old, and there should be 4 separate daily archives.
[fresh-backups]
user root
env.backup_dir /path/to/your/backups/
env.lifetime 2
env.archive_pattern *.tar.bz2
env.backup_number 4
This will also set the warning and critical values for this plugin to 2*4 and 4, respectively, meaning that if the number of fresh files goes below those limits, the relevant notifications will be triggered.
An example configuration snippet for backup-manager [0] follows.
export BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT="/path/to/your/backups"
export BM_TARBALL_FILETYPE="tar.bz2"
export BM_TARBALL_DIRECTORIES="/etc /home /srv /data"
