Backup Ubuntu Devices Script
Backup Ubuntu based devices over ssh to a local directory.
- No user interaction, just run it to kick off a backup
- Checks for free space (roughly, 2x used space)
- Compresses backup
- Captures a list of installed clicks, for re-installation during device restoration
- Uses device name and serial number in backup name, useful if you have multiple devices being backed up
- Uses sudo to ensure all files in /home/phablet are backed up, no matter who owns them
- rsync & tee installed on host
- ssh key installed on device ( I use phablet-shell to set this up)
buds (ip address of device) (passphrase)
e.g.
buds 192.168.1.20 1234
Backs up everything in /home/phablet, and creates a list of all click packages installed.
- Restore script
- Optionally grab click packages from store to stash in backup
- Make it user friendly, so user doesn't have to know about ssh/keys etc
- Make this all pretty with a GUI and stuff :)
