# 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
