+# backive
+
+The name comes from the combination of backup and archive - silly, I know.
+
+# Purpose
+
+I've a long-term backup strategy where I put some labeled hard-disk in a SATA docking station and run a backup routine. When done, this hard-disk goes back into some shelf in my attic or basement. When the time is come again to update the long-term backup the same procedure starts again.
+
+So now there are my backup routines, which are manually currently - **and that sucks.**
+
+So what this tool or service should do is the following:
+- I am able to configure based on UUIDs of the partitions which devices are allowed for backup
+- I can specify as much backup items as I want, which should include:
+  - Backup local and remote data (Linux machine and SSH required)
+  - Use the best tool available for the task (rsync, duplicity, whatever)
+  - Even be able to "backup" without a target device (choose another path on the system)
+  - (optional) Be able to run pre-backup commands (for databases maybe), remote too
+- The service has to be able to automatically detect the presence of a hard-disk, mounting it, running the backup routine and unmounting
+- Good logging about the process
+
+
+What I currently see as optional:
+- Notification about the finished process (got conky running anyway, where I see the disks)
+
+## Technical goals
+
+- systemd service
+- udev rules for notifications about new drives
+- Python package, as easy to install as possible
+
+# Current state
+
+In the very beginning...
