State File Backups
|
|
|
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 0.10.2 a new feature was added for backing up files that are replaced by
|
2012-08-28 03:26:41 +00:00
|
|
|
the file.managed and file.recurse states. The new feature is called the backup
|
2012-07-27 06:05:01 +00:00
|
|
|
mode. Setting the backup mode is easy, but is can be set in a number of
|
|
|
|
|
places.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The backup_mode can be set in the minion config file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
backup_mode: minion
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or it can be set for each file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:
|
|
|
|
|
file.managed:
|
|
|
|
|
- source: salt://ssh/sshd_config
|
|
|
|
|
- backup: minion
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Backed up Files
|
|
|
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The files will be saved in the minion cachedir under the directory named
|
|
|
|
|
``file_backup``. The files will be in the location relative to where they
|
|
|
|
|
were under the root filesystem and be appended with a timestamp. This should
|
|
|
|
|
make them easy to browse.
