Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I have seen that i can a backup with Nagios, but we want to do a backup with Backup tool.

Can you tell me all necessary filesystems or directories to restore in case of errors, I can to do a restore?

Regards,

I see that important files are in /usr/local/nagios and /usr/local/nagiosxi

I need to backup anymore?

Reagards,

Best bet would be to use the documentation posted to our Library on Backing_Up_And_Restoring_xi

This way you get database backups as well, and can restore.

Thank you for the information.

I will do this backup, but I need to do backup with backup tool of my company. About this I need to know, filesystems and directories that I need to copy

Regards

This will depend on your company policy on what is all backed up and what your setup is like.

The bulk of the Nagios/Nagios xi system are in the following directories, but this certainly isn't a full snapshot...
/usr/local/nagios
/usr/local/nagiosxi
/usr/local/nrdp
/store/backups
/etc/httpd/conf.d
/etc/xinetd.d/
/root/scripts

Hello,

i can to have any document where appear all directories and files. I can't find this documentation.

Regards,

Every install is different and your install may have other components that need to be backed up, however our backup script, backs up the following directories
/var/www/html/nagiosql
/etc/nagiosql
/usr/local/nagios
/usr/local/nagiosxi

and files
/etc/logrotate.d/nagiosxi
/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf
/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagiosxi.conf
/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagiosql.conf

And the 3 databases.
