Simple Backup Solutions

A bundle of scripts, that contain few simple solutions for backup, which I'm using within my Ubuntu installations.

Incremental backup using Rsync

  • This solution perfectly fits to 'desktop' systems, when you want easy access to your backup files and their history.

  • It is based on this nice answer, provided by PerlDuck on Ask Ubuntu SE, where are provided detailed explanations.

  • There are two files:

    • incremental_backup - this is the main (bash) script. I would place it in /usr/local/bin to be accessible as shell command system wide.

    • incremental_backup_cron - this a (sh) script desingned to be placed in /etc/cron.{daily,hourly,weekly}/.

  • Installation on fly (without using git):

    sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/incremental_backup https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metalevel-tech/simple-backup-solutions/master/incremental_backup
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/incremental_backup

sudo wget -O /etc/cron.daily/incremental_backup_cron https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metalevel-tech/simple-backup-solutions/master/incremental_backup_cron
sudo chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/incremental_backup_cron

Portable backup using Tar and 7zip

  • This solution perfectly fits to 'server' systems, when you want small and portable backups.

  • It is based on this answer of mine on Ask Ubuntu SE, where are provided detailed explanations.

  • There are two files:

    • portable_backup - this is the main (bash) script. I would place it in /usr/local/bin to be accessible as shell command system wide.

    • portable_backup_cron - this a (sh) script desingned to be placed in /etc/cron.{daily,hourly,weekly}/.

  • Installation on fly (without using git):

    sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/portable_backup https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metalevel-tech/simple-backup-solutions/master/portable_backup
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/portable_backup

sudo wget -O /etc/cron.daily/portable_backup_cron https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metalevel-tech/simple-backup-solutions/master/portable_backup_cron
sudo chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/portable_backup_cron
