#### Tool for backing up charms, local juju configs, and juju controllers.

**Introduction**

Juju-backup-all allows operators to perform backups across all juju controllers
and models. It provides auto-discovery, backing up all applications of supported
charms. The tool also includes options to exclude charms, select which juju
controllers to backup, and backup local juju configs.

Supported charms:

* etcd
* postgresql
* mysql-innodb-cluster

Supported juju backups:

* Juju configs
* Juju controllers

**Installation**

Install juju-backup-all from Snap Store with:

```
snap install juju-backup-all
```

Then, make sure the appropriate interfaces are plugged:

```
snap connect juju-backup-all:juju-client-observe
snap connect juju-backup-all:ssh-keys
```

**Usage**

This tool primarily auto-discovers controllers/charms that need backing up. To backup the current
controller, simply run:

```
juju-backup-all
```

This will backup all apps of all models (in the current controller) of supported charms and output
them into `juju-backups/` directory. It will also backup the local juju client config.

For a more complex command, here's an example that specifies an output directory, excludes certain
charms, excludes the juju client config backup, and runs backups on all controllers.

```
juju-backup-all -o my/backups/ -e postgresql -e etcd  --all-controllers
```

The following command will give all the possible arguments that can be passed to the tool:

```
juju-backup-all -h
```

**Security**

The exporter server is an HTTP server built with the prometheus\_client library,
and designed to work with charm-juju-backup-all. It collects the backup results
from the charms and exposes them over the HTTP protocol. The exporter service
currently only supports HTTP, so the communication is not encrypted.

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install juju-backup-all

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
