# Backup-System
|
|
### These scripts are in a very early state, so caution is advised.
|
|
### **Proper documentation will be provided at a later date.**
|
|
|
|
A collection of Bash scripts for generating backup archives; these scripts are primarily intended for personal servers.
|
|
|
|
Currently, the scripts and their documentation are a work-in-progress.
|
|
|
|
Eventually, the documentation will be located in `/DOCUMENTATION`.
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
### Current method of documentation.
|
|
|
|
To archive the files, the scripts use 7-zip, then they copy the files to another directory (preferably another drive) using Rsync; the archive-name contains the time of the backup.
|
|
|
|
### Required Software
|
|
|
|
- 7-zip
|
|
- Rsync
|
|
- ionice
|
|
- nice
|
|
- systemd
|
|
|
|
Install:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ apt install 7z
|
|
$ apt install rsync
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- At the moment, each dependency must be installed manually; however, a script will be provided later to automate this process.
|
|
- To run the backup automatically, create a cronjob:
|
|
`$ crontab -e`
|
|
|
|
Add the following:
|
|
`0 5 * * * sudo bash /path/to/scope.sh`
|
|
|
|
- For the time being, each script will require manual configuration:
|
|
- Replace each `/path/to/...` with your desired directory.
|
|
- Edit `SCOPE.SH` to allocate a greater amount of the RAM and CPU, as the default values are too low.
