to take backup of Zabbix installtion

[zz_yogesh]

One of my friend installed zabbix 1.8.9 and its running properly.Now i want to take the backup of installation as well as DB/config files to my PC. This will help to protect the config even from the machine failure.

Can anyone help me out abt the procedure and locations where required file stored.

Following are the setup details

Zabbix: 1.8.9
Platform:Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)
Database:MySQL
SNMP Version:
NET-SNMP version: 5.3.2.2


Thanks

Just take a mySQL dump. Then take a copy of the following files:

(assuming you have default 1.8.x locations)
/etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

MySQL dump, fill in your user name and password, plus your database name (mine is zabbix), then your output location:

mysqldump --user="usernamehere" --password="passwordhere" zabbix | gzip > /etc/zabbix/backup/zabbix.sql.gz


To restore, run through the default zabbix install as you did originally (with the same version preferably), stop the zabbix service, overwrite the config. Then import the backup db with:

extract the gzip'd backup

mysql -h localhost -u usernamehere -p passwordhere < /etc/zabbix/backup/zabbix.sql

Then you can start the zabbix server service and you should be back to normal.

Is this applicable to version 2.0.3?
I want to backup my zabbix with the conf and history data.
and then when I make the restore, all be normal.


Sorry my bad English.

Yes this will be fine with 2.0.3

It shouldn't really make a difference as this is a mysql procedure.
