I am donating a server with Koha 3.12 on Debian 7 via packages for a school in Vanuatu and would like suggestions for a simple backup strategy. The 'server' will not actually be network connected, so it will be used as a standalone workstation (at least to begin with). There will be no technical support available. My first thought was to use koha-run-backups and change the location to the desktop of the user that will access Koha. With the thought they could drag and drop the backup folder to a usb drive when needed. But it appears the --location: argument does not work with koha-run-backups.
Year and half back i faced field conditions very similar in terms of almost no post-deployment support. I cooked up a couple of scripts around koha-run-backups. Have a look at this video, if you thing something like this will be useful, I'll share the scripts and instructions on the Koha wiki http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwuBs0KqlSw (apologies for the poor vidcap quality) cheers -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.
