New Eloy blog

Posted about 1 year ago by max

Recently I discovered that the SimpleBlogPlugin is not working with Trac 0.11, which I'm using since last week. Therefore I had to install the much cooler FullBlogPlugin, which I'm writing this blog post with.

Unfortunately, the old blog ... [More] posts could not be migrated, so I had to copy over each post into the new blog. So if anyone is wondering why all the blog entries are within the same hour: this is the reason.

I hope you like the blog as much as I already do, and I'm sure you already discovered the "New Comment" button ;-)

Eloy 0.3.3 released

Posted about 1 year ago by max

Now there is a new way of adding "plugins" to the backup process.
Plugins are scripts that are executed when running eloy backup.
The scripts can use all functions and variables from eloy.sh.

Check out the demo plugin or the postgresql plugin.

Eloy 0.3.1 released

Posted about 1 year ago by max

Fixed a bug when restoring: the file permissions, user and group ID should be restored properly now.
Added AppleScripts for eloy backup and eloy restore

I also added release.sh, which makes perfroming an Eloy release very easy. So future bug fixes will find their way into a new release more quickly.

Eloy 0.3 released

Posted about 1 year ago by max

This release features the first bugfix (Ticket 6) commited by a contributor! I would like to welcome Gerrit to the Eloy development team.

Another great feature is logging support. Run eloy backup or eloy compress with the -l option, and Eloy ... [More] writes all output to a logfile (LOG_FILENAME).
You can also run eloy compress with the -m <email address> option to email the logfile to the specified email address and archive the logfile.

A good example cron setup is

35 * * * * /root/scripts/eloy.sh backup -l
50 23 * * * /root/scripts/eloy.sh compress -l -m <email>

Enjoy!

Eloy 0.2 released

Posted about 1 year ago by max

A new version of this fantastic Unix backup solution was brought to light!

The new release features backup compressions, so you can make backups every hour and Eloy removes all but one backup after 24 hours.
Check out the new ... [More] Commands.

Eloy's compress sub command is also able to remove old backups if there are more than a given number. So you can keep hourly backups for the last 24 hours and daily backups for the last few month.

Download Eloy 0.2 today! Setup takes 5 minutes!
