Dreamback

Dreamback is the easiest way to automate your backups on dreamhost. Dreamhost does not guarantee their backups of your users (though they've saved me with backups before), so it's best to run backups yourself.

This is alpha quality software. Please report issues if you have them.

Using Dreamback is easy:

  1. Create a user on dreamhost to schedule your backups
  2. Log in with your new user
  3. gem install dreamback
  4. dreamback
  5. Answer the questions to setup your automated backup

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dreamback'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install dreamback

Usage

Run dreamback to configure automated backups. Run dreamback backup to immediately run a backup.
