# 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. |
