   Example script to backup a mysql database securely to an ibackup
 account:
 
Following example assumes root or admin privileges to run stunnel, and that the script should be readable only by root or owner since it contains the account password information.

mysqldump sample_database > /usr/local/mysql_sample_database

stunnel -c -d localhost:2000 -r rsync.ibackup.com:5000

export RSYNC_PASSWORD=ibackp_account_password

rsync -r -v -z -t/usr/local/mysql_sample_database
ibackup_account_username@localhost::ibackup --port=2000

killall stunnel

 
   Can IBackup Professional Services create custom scripts based on user
 needs ?
 
Yes, IBackup Professional Services has expertise in various Unix platforms including Linux and Solaris, and can create customized scripts based on user needs. IBackup Professional Services has developed many custom scripts for its enterprise customers including datacenter users to execute online backup of oracle databases including clustered environments, mysql and many other setups.
 
   Is there any way to specify the base directory to use on IBackup ?
 
If you wish to specify a base directory on your IBackup side, for example,
my_ibackup_root/server1/home/backup/

You can accomplish this by creating a folder
/server1/home/backup in your IBackup account by using the browser interface.

You may then backup your data using rsync as follows
rsync -r -v -z -t/home/backup <ibackup username>@rsync.ibackup.com::ibackup/server1/home/backup
