SIMple Back Up and Recovery
You need to have accounts with administrator privileges on both the client and the server (you must be able to sudo on both the client and the server).
NOTE: This version is not suitable for use on a network where you can't trust everyone.
The server must be a Synology DSM 5.2 or similar device.
Log in to the server as root, can create a directory for the backup:
mkdir -p /volume1/NetBackup/backupdata/client-machine-name
Where client-machine-name is the name of the host that you want to back up.
Download the client installer from: https://github.com/lcreid/simbur/releases/download/v2.2.2/simbur-client.deb
Install the client:
sudo dpkg -i simbur-client.deb
Set up the client configuration file the way you need it. This step is obligatory. You need to configure the backup server at the very least:
sudo vi /etc/simbur/simbur-client.conf
Change fs-1 on the line that starts BACKUP_HOST= to the name of the Synology device, e.g.:
BACKUP_HOST=my-syno-box
Make a password file, and put the admin password for your Synology box in it:
sudo touch /etc/simbur/password
sudo chmod 600 /etc/simbur/password
sudo vi /etc/simbur/password
At this point, you may want to read more detailed information about configuration, but it's not absolutely necessary.
Finally, start the daemon. On systems with upstart, do:
sudo start simburd
On systems with systemd, do:
sudo systemctl start simburd
