# backup script
**"THIS IS STILL IN DEVLOPMENT"**

these scripts are made to backup data to optical disks for cold data storage once or twice a year.
the script will create a compressed and encrypted tar file that is split so it will fit on a Blueray disk or DVD

## Dependancys
make sure `openssl` is installed
`tmux` is optional

## backup
- run `bash backup.sh` inside a `tmux` session so it can run in the background.
- enter dircetories to backup flies like this: `folder-1/ folder2/ other-folders/`.
- enter capacity for each optical disk. 
- if you are using a 25 GB Blueray enter `24G` for wiggle room.
- burn each tar file to it's own optical disk with both `backup.sh` and `restore.sh` scripts.

## restore
- copy each tar flie off each disk to a folder like `backup`.
- run `bash restore.sh` to restore the data.
- enter the dircetory where the tar files are located like `/home/user/backup` or `backup`.
- move the restored data where you please.
