Bard::Backup

Bard::Backup does 3 things in a bard project

1. Takes a database dump and uploads it to our s3 bucket
2. Deletes old backups using a backoff heuristic: 72 hours, 60 days, 52 weeks, 48 months, then yearly
3. Raises an error if we don't have a backup from the previous hour

Installation

Usage

Run with Bard::Backup.call s3_path, access_key: "...", secret_key: "...", region: "..."

Or just run via the bard-rake gem: rake db:backup, which wires up the above for you.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
