Automate your Borg Backup remote and local jobs.
Install Borg Backup: apt install borgbackup -y
This script was developed and tested on Debian 9. It should work on other Debian-based Linux distribution.
Follow the steps below to setup and configure your Borg backup jobs. You should do it with sudo.
- Init your borg repo with
borg initcommand. Check https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html for more information. - Clone the repository in the /etc/backups directory:
sudo clone https://github.com/jeremyfritzen/storj_earnings_notify.git /etc/backups/automated-borg-backup - Add Disk IDs in the backup.disks file. The backup will be launched only if one of these disks is plugged-in.
To find the UUID of the file system that backups, run the following command:
lsblk -o+uuid,label. - Copy general.conf.template file and rename it "general.conf". This will will allow to configure the backup script (pushbullet access, etc.)
- Edit the general.conf file you just created with your own parameters to configure the backup script.
- Copy the job.conf.template file and rename it as you want. Only the ".conf" extension in the end is important. This file will define your backup job.
- Edit the conf file you just created with your own parameter to define your backup job.
- Run setup script:
./install.sh
Just plug your backup disk on your USB port. Script should start and send you a Pushbullet notification to tell you the backup is ongoing. A notification will be sent if no backup has been made for more than a week.
