This patch adds a trivial switch so koha-run-backups can pass the
--exclude-indexes option switch to koha-dump. This way if the sysadmin
doesn't want to backup the Zebra indexes, it can be controlled by
tweaking the cron definition.
To test:
1. Apply this patch
2. Run:
$ debian/scripts/koha-run-backups --days 2 --output /var/spool/koha
3. Notice the size of the backups:
$ ls -lh /var/spool/koha/kohadev
4. Try the new option switch:
$ debian/scripts/koha-run-backups \
--exclude-indexes \
--days 2 --output /var/spool/koha
5. Repeat 3
=> SUCCESS: Backups are smaller!
6. Sign off :-D

|
|
<para><command>koha-run-backups</command> allows automation of backing up the koha data and configuration to the filesystem. It will keep the past so many backups, discarding older ones. This script uses <command>koha-dump</command> to do the actual backup.</para>
|
|
<para>If there is an instance called 'demo', it will be skipped by this script.</para>
|
|
<para>Note: backups produced using this tool can be restored using <command>koha-restore</command>.</para>
