Git

To create a new application for Git Repository instances backup, go to the tab: Applications -> Instances, then select the Create button. The 'Creating an Application Definition' section will be displayed, which needs to be completed. This is a description of how your script is going to be invoked - you need to specify:

• Name - unique name of the application in the vPlus system

• Choose Node Config - select which node should perform the task

• Backup policy - specify which backup policy should be used for this application

• Command execution configuration - select a prepared template for Git Repository backup or create a new one yourself

After saving the changes to the application, you need to configure the environment variables in the settings section of your application as needed. When using the built-in script for database backup, define:

• VP_GITREPO_ADDRESS - The git clone address (ssh/https) of the repository.

• VP_GITREPO_USERNAME - Git name of the user with access to the specified repository.

• VP_GITREPO_PASSWORD - Git password of the user with access to the specified repository.

• VP_GITREPO_STOREPATH - Path on the server with connection to the Git repository, where vPlus can place the temporary backup file. No other files should be stored in the given path, since everything is removed after the backup is finished.

• VP_GITREPO_SCRIPTPATH - Path on the vPlus node, where the backup script is located.

Note: After the new application is fully configured, save the changes and go to the Backup SLAs configuration.
