# Enhanced Plex Backup Script Documentation
This document provides comprehensive documentation for the enhanced `backup-plex.sh` script. This advanced backup solution includes performance monitoring, parallel processing, intelligent notifications, WAL file handling, and automated testing capabilities.
## Script Overview
The enhanced script performs the following advanced tasks:
1. **Performance Monitoring**: Tracks backup operations with JSON-based performance logging
2. **Intelligent Backup Detection**: Only backs up files that have changed since last backup
3. **WAL File Handling**: Properly handles SQLite Write-Ahead Logging files
4. **Database Integrity Verification**: Comprehensive integrity checks with automated repair options
5. **Parallel Processing**: Concurrent verification for improved performance
6. **Multi-Channel Notifications**: Console, webhook, and email notification support
7. **Checksum Caching**: Intelligent caching to avoid recalculating unchanged file checksums
8. **Enhanced Service Management**: Safe Plex service management with progress indicators
9. **Comprehensive Logging**: Detailed logs with color-coded output and timestamps
10. **Automated Cleanup**: Configurable retention policies for old backups
## Enhanced Features
### Performance Tracking
- **JSON Performance Logs**: All operations are timed and logged to `logs/plex-backup-performance.json`
- **Performance Reports**: Automatic generation of average performance metrics
- **Operation Monitoring**: Tracks backup, verification, service management, and overall script execution times
### Notification System
The script supports multiple notification channels:
#### Console Notifications
- Color-coded status messages (Success: Green, Error: Red, Warning: Yellow, Info: Blue)
- Timestamped log entries with clear formatting
#### Webhook Notifications
```bash
./backup-plex.sh --webhook=https://your-webhook-url.com/endpoint
```
Sends JSON payloads with backup status, hostname, and timestamps.
#### Email Notifications
```bash
./backup-plex.sh --email=admin@example.com
```
Requires `sendmail` to be configured on the system.
### WAL File Management
The script now properly handles SQLite Write-Ahead Logging files:
- **Automatic Detection**: Identifies and backs up `.db-wal` and `.db-shm` files when present
- **WAL Checkpointing**: Performs `PRAGMA wal_checkpoint(FULL)` before integrity checks
- **Safe Backup**: Ensures WAL files are properly backed up alongside main database files
### Database Integrity & Repair
Enhanced database management features:
- **Pre-backup Integrity Checks**: Verifies database health before backup operations
- **Automated Repair**: Optional automatic repair of corrupted databases using advanced techniques
- **Interactive Repair Mode**: Prompts for repair decisions when issues are detected
- **Post-repair Verification**: Re-checks integrity after repair operations
### Parallel Processing
- **Concurrent Verification**: Parallel backup verification for improved performance
- **Fallback Safety**: Automatically falls back to sequential processing if parallel mode fails
- **Configurable**: Can be disabled with `--no-parallel` for maximum safety
## Command Line Options
```bash
Usage: ./backup-plex.sh [OPTIONS]
Options:
--auto-repair Automatically attempt to repair corrupted databases
--check-integrity Only check database integrity, don't backup
--non-interactive Run in non-interactive mode (for automation)
--no-parallel Disable parallel verification (slower but safer)
--no-performance Disable performance monitoring
--webhook=URL Send notifications to webhook URL
--email=ADDRESS Send notifications to email address
-h, --help Show help message
```
## Configuration Files
### Performance Log Format
The performance log (`logs/plex-backup-performance.json`) contains entries like:
```json
[
{
"operation": "backup",
"duration_seconds": 45.3,
"timestamp": "2025-05-25T19:45:23-05:00"
},
{
"operation": "verification",
"duration_seconds": 12.8,
"timestamp": "2025-05-25T19:46:08-05:00"
}
]
```
### Backup Tracking Log
The backup tracking log (`logs/plex-backup.json`) tracks last backup times:
```json
{
"/var/lib/plexmediaserver/.../com.plexapp.plugins.library.db": 1732567523,
"/var/lib/plexmediaserver/.../Preferences.xml": 1732567523
}
```
## Usage Examples
### Basic Backup
```bash
./backup-plex.sh
```
Performs a standard backup with all enhanced features enabled.
### Integrity Check Only
```bash
./backup-plex.sh --check-integrity
```
Only checks database integrity without performing backup.
### Automated Backup with Notifications
```bash
./backup-plex.sh --non-interactive --auto-repair --webhook=https://notify.example.com/backup
```
Runs in automated mode with auto-repair and webhook notifications.
### Performance-Optimized Backup
```bash
./backup-plex.sh --no-parallel --no-performance
```
Runs with parallel processing and performance monitoring disabled for maximum compatibility.
## Automation and Scheduling
### Cron Job Setup
For daily automated backups at 2 AM:
```bash
# Edit crontab
crontab -e
# Add this line for daily backup
0 2 * * * /home/acedanger/shell/backup-plex.sh --non-interactive --auto-repair --email=admin@example.com 2>&1 | logger -t plex-backup
```
### Systemd Service
Create a systemd service for more control:
```ini
[Unit]
Description=Plex Backup Service
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
User=root
ExecStart=/home/acedanger/shell/backup-plex.sh --non-interactive --auto-repair
StandardOutput=journal
StandardError=journal
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
### Systemd Timer
Create a timer for regular execution:
```ini
[Unit]
Description=Daily Plex Backup
Requires=plex-backup.service
[Timer]
OnCalendar=daily
Persistent=true
[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target
```
## Monitoring and Alerts
### Performance Monitoring
The script automatically tracks:
- Backup operation duration
- Verification times
- Service start/stop times
- Overall script execution time
### Health Checks
Regular health monitoring can be implemented by checking:
```bash
# Check last backup success
jq -r '.[-1] | select(.operation == "total_script") | .timestamp' logs/plex-backup-performance.json
# Check average backup performance
jq '[.[] | select(.operation == "backup") | .duration_seconds] | add/length' logs/plex-backup-performance.json
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Permission Denied Errors**
- Ensure script runs with appropriate sudo permissions
- Check Plex file ownership and permissions
2. **WAL File Warnings**
- Now handled automatically by the enhanced script
- WAL checkpointing ensures data consistency
3. **Performance Issues**
- Use `--no-parallel` if concurrent operations cause problems
- Monitor performance logs for bottlenecks
4. **Notification Failures**
- Verify webhook URLs are accessible
- Check sendmail configuration for email notifications
### Debug Mode
Enable verbose logging by modifying the script or using:
```bash
bash -x ./backup-plex.sh --check-integrity
```
## Testing Framework
The script includes a comprehensive testing framework (`test-plex-backup.sh`):
### Running Tests
```bash
# Run all tests
./test-plex-backup.sh all
# Run only unit tests
./test-plex-backup.sh unit
# Run performance benchmarks
./test-plex-backup.sh performance
```
### Test Categories
- **Unit Tests**: Core functionality verification
- **Integration Tests**: Full system testing (requires Plex installation)
- **Performance Tests**: Benchmarking and performance validation
## Security Considerations
### File Permissions
- Backup files are created with appropriate permissions
- Sensitive files maintain original ownership and permissions
- Temporary files are properly cleaned up
### Network Security
- Webhook notifications use HTTPS when possible
- Email notifications respect system sendmail configuration
- No sensitive data is included in notifications
### Access Control
- Script requires appropriate sudo permissions
- Backup locations should have restricted access
- Log files contain operational data, not sensitive information
## Backup Strategy
The enhanced script implements a robust backup strategy:
### 3-2-1 Backup Rule
1. **3 Copies**: Original data + local backup + compressed archive
2. **2 Different Media**: Local disk + network storage capability
3. **1 Offsite**: Ready for remote synchronization
### Retention Policy
- Configurable maximum backup age (default: 30 days)
- Configurable maximum backup count (default: 10 backups)
- Automatic cleanup of old backups
### Verification Strategy
- Checksum verification for all backed up files
- Database integrity checks before and after operations
- Optional parallel verification for improved performance
## Migration from Legacy Script
To migrate from the original backup script:
1. **Backup Current Configuration**: Save any custom modifications
2. **Test New Script**: Run with `--check-integrity` first
3. **Update Automation**: Modify cron jobs to use new options
4. **Monitor Performance**: Check performance logs for optimization opportunities
The enhanced script maintains backward compatibility while adding significant new capabilities.
