MySQL Backup

============

[![Actions Status](https://github.com/ome/ansible-role-mysql-backup/workflows/Molecule/badge.svg)](https://github.com/ome/ansible-role-mysql-backup/actions)

[![Ansible Role](https://img.shields.io/ansible/role/41994.svg)](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ome/mysql_backup/)

Setup a cron job for regular full Mysql/Mariadb database dumps.

Assumes `root` has password-less access to all databases.

Dependencies

------------

This requires a cron daemon to already be running.

This should be the default on most systems.

Role Variables

--------------

Required:

- `mysql_backup_dir`: Save backups in this directory

Optional:

- `mysql_backup_filename_format`: A filename containing unix `date` format sequences, default `{{ ansible_hostname }}-%Y%m%d-%H%M%S.mysqldump`.

  This can be used to automatically overwrite backups on a rolling basis.

- `mysql_backup_frequency`: This must match one of the standard `/etc/cron.*` directories, typically either `daily` (default), `hourly`, `weekly` or `monthly`.

- `mysql_backup_minimum_expected_size`: The minimum size in bytes of the backup file.

  The cron job will return an error if the file is smaller than this.

Example playbook

----------------

    # This will name the backup file /nfs/backups/HOSTNAME-Mon.mysqldump

    # where Mon will be replaced by the abbreviated day of the week, resulting

    # in daily backups on a rolling weekly cycle

    - hosts: mysql-servers

      roles:

      - role: ome.mysql_backup

        mysql_backup_dir: /nfs/backups

        mysql_backup_filename_format: "{{ ansible_hostname }}-%a.mysqldump"

        mysql_backup_minimum_expected_size: 100000
