You may give the target directory or the full path to the backup file as option to opsi-backup create. If the
given option is a filename, the backup will be created in this file - existing files will be overwritten. If the given
option is a directory, the backup file will be crated in this directory with a generated filename using the pattern:
___
opsi-backup create /mnt/backup/opsi_backup.tar.bz2
opsi-backup create /mnt/backup/
Other create options are:
• --backends {file,mysql,dhcp,all,auto}
is used to select the backends which shall be included to the backup. You may give this option multiple times.
The option --backends=all includes all supported backends.
The default is --backends=auto, which means that opsi-backup reads the configuration file
/etc/opsi/backendManager/dispatch.conf and backups all supported backends used in this configuration. The
supported backends are: mysql, file, dhcp
opsi-backup create --backends=file --backends=mysql
opsi-backup create --backends=all
Tip
If you are using a not supported backend (like ldap), you may use opsi-convert to convert your data to a backend,
which is supported by backup.
• --no-configuration
Excludes the opsi configuration files from the backup.
opsi-backup create --no-configuration
