Automate WordPress backup with Python / Fabric
Python’s Fabric module makes automation easy. This post shows how to use a Fabric script to backup a WordPress installation, but could be used for most LAMP backup situations!
Goals of this Post:
- backup SQL to /tmp
- backup WEB ROOT to /tmp
- tar SQL + site & zip
- download
- delete /tmp
The Fabric script is written for to be executed as a ‘sudo’ user. If you want to perform the actions in the script as root or another user, replace ‘sudo()’ with ‘run()’.
For help installing Fabric look at my previous post: https://www.savelono.com/linux/how-to-install-python-3-and-pip-3-for-centos-6.html

Example:
[savelono.com] Executing task ‘backup_all’
[savelono.com] sudo: mysqldump -u savelonoadmin -p45482lonoF#m! –database savelono > savelono-$(date +%m-%d-%Y).sql
[savelono.com] out: sudo password:
[savelono.com] out:
[savelono.com] sudo: cp -rfp /var/www/html savelono-site-$(date +%m-%d-%Y)
[savelono.com] out: sudo password:
[savelono.com] out:
[savelono.com] sudo: tar -czvf savelono-site-$(date +%m-%d-%Y).tar.gz savelono-*
[savelono.com] out: sudo password:
[savelono.com] out: savelono-09-11-2017.sql
[savelono.com] out: savelono-site-09-11-2017/
[savelono.com] out: savelono-site-09-11-2017/readme.9d9380967341b4551da5eb9ee499

[savelono.com] sudo: rm -rf /tmp/savelono*
[savelono.com] out: sudo password:

Done.
Disconnecting from savelono.com:7022… done.
And that’s it! Easy Python syntax for issuing remote and local shell commands through SSH. Thank you for reading! I hope you find this useful.
