An online backup system for MySQL and PostgreSQL, using GnuPG for encryption and AWS S3 for storage.

YOB is pluggable, so it’s easy to make different database, encryption and storage engines.

You’ll need a few libraries installed.

aptitude install libgpgme11-dev libsqlite3-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libopenssl-ruby1.8

Install yob from rubygems:

gem install yob

Then:

useradd --home-dir /var/lib/yob --create-home yob

If you’re using MySQL, create ~yob/.my.cnf with mysql username and password and

GRANT select,reload,super,replication client ON *.* TO yob@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword'
