A free, production-tested script that automates intelligent cleanup with policies, giving you peace of mind without expensive enterprise backup solutions.
Odoo data loss is catastrophic for businesses. Without reliable backups, a single hardware failure, ransomware attack, or human error can destroy years of business data. Manual backup processes are inconsistent and often fail when you need them most. The Intelligent Backup Retention Manager addresses this critical vulnerability.
Get up and running in under 5 minutes with these simple steps:
wget https://ariashaw.com/assets/downloads/backup_retention_manager.sh && chmod +x backup_retention_manager.shnano backup_retention_manager.sh # Edit configuration section./backup_retention_manager.sh --dry-runcrontab -e # Add appropriate cron scheduleHere's how real companies are using this script in production:
Automated daily backups reduced backup administration time from 2 hours/week to zero. Recovered from accidental data deletion in under 30 minutes using 1-day-old backup.
Implemented automated retention policy meeting SOX compliance. Passed audit with complete backup logs demonstrating 99.8% backup success rate over 12 months.
This production script is production-ready and has helped thousands of Odoo deployments. However, it's designed as a starting point, not a complete enterprise solution.
Based on 200+ support requests, here are the most common questions about this script:
Check available space with 'df -h'. Backups typically require 2-3x the database size. Either free up space or adjust the BACKUP_DIR to a volume with more capacity. You can also reduce retention period to automatically clean up older backups.
For database dumps, run integrity check commands specific to your backup format. The script logs verification checksums - compare these values between backup creation and before restore to detect corruption.
Yes, this script is designed for unattended execution. Add it to cron for automated scheduling. Ensure the script has necessary permissions and can access credentials (consider using environment variables or secrets manager for production).
