Backups from newt.southspace.net
The Open Organizations and SocialTools Wiki is hosted on
newt.southspace.net, and is backed up weekly to
/home/soctools/backups on
rabelais.
On both machines, there is a user called
soctools. On
rabelais, this user has an SSH private key with no passphrase.
On
rabelais, the script
/etc/cron.weekly/backup-from-newt changes its user to
soctools and runs the script
/home/soctools/backup-from-newt.sh. This connects to
newt over SSH, makes a tarball, and copies it to
/home/soctools/backups on
rabelais via
scp. To do this, it runs some scripts in
/home/soctools on
newt.
