====== Server & desktop backup solutions ======
The first backups will take a while. The following ones are much faster, but it depends on how much you change. Only the changes are saved.
===== rsync =====
Follow our [[en:server:services:rsync|rsync]] tutorial first.
The snapshots are stored locally and remotely via rsync daemon.
<alert type="danger" icon="fa fa-warning">This backup solution is only recommended for an internal network. Use an encrypted backup method with [[en:backup:server#borg|borg]] instead.</alert>
==== Dependencies ====
The script needs ''inetutils'' for ''hostname'' command.
<code>
pacman -S inetutils
</code>
==== Credentials ====
<code>
echo "$password" > /etc/rsyncd.password
chmod 400 /etc/rsyncd.password
</code>
==== Script ====
Add your details for ''DAEMONUSER=""'' and ''DAEMONHOST=""''.
<code>
nano /root/rsnapbackup.sh
</code>
<code>

</code>
<code>
chmod +x /root/rsnapbackup.sh
</code>
=== Exclude folder and files ===
This is an example. Add anything you don't need to backup. And change home ''$USER''.
<code>
nano /root/backup-filter.rule
</code>
<code>
/dev/*
/proc/*
/sys/*
/tmp/*
/run/*
/mnt/*
/media/*
/lost+found
# root user
/root/backup/*
/root/.cache/*
# Home user
/home/$USER/.cache/*
</code>
===== borg =====
<alert type="info" icon="fa fa-wrench">Work in progress</alert>
Follow our [[en:server:services:borg|borg]] tutorial first.
The snapshots are stored remotely via ssh.
===== Crontab - rsync and borg =====
Follow our [[en:server:services:crontab|crontab]] tutorial first and add the following for your root user:
<code>
@daily /root/rsnapbackup.sh
</code>
<code>
@daily /root/bsnapbackup.sh
</code>
* ''@yearly''
* ''@annually''
* ''@monthly''
* ''@weekly''
* ''@daily''
* ''@hourly''
* ''@reboot''
===== Syncthing =====
Follow our [[en:server:services:syncthing|Syncthing]] tutorial for both devices (backup server and your data device).
==== Add device ====
Add the backup server to your client under ''Remote Devices''.
==== Add folder ====
* Add a folder under ''Folder'' and select the folder you want to backup under ''General''.
* Select your backup server under ''Sharing''.
* Under ''File Versioning'' you could add ''Staggered File Versioning'' which gives you more certainty, but have a look at https://docs.syncthing.net/users/versioning.html and choose what suits you best.
* Also check ''Advanced'' and ''Folder type'' and again choose what suits you best. For example, Keepass can be used with ''Send & Receive'' if you want sync your database on both devices.
