Daily Weekly and Monthly DB backup with logrotate?
- by benjisail
Hi,
I am currently keeping daily backup of my database by doing a daily mysqldump and by using logrotate to keep the 7 last days of mysqldump.
I would like to improve this backup process to keep 7 daily backup, 3 weekly backups and 12 monthly backup.
I found this article which explain how to di this with logrotate : http://www.hotcoding.com/os/sysadmin/35751.html
However I am using the dateext logrotate option to name my backup files so I cannot use this solution.
How can I do daily, weekly and monthly backup with logrotate and with the dateext option?
