Requirements

Installation

1. Clone this repo to /tmp
2. Install borg
3. Install pass
4. Install openvpn
5. Install gem: gem install colorize
6. Copy backup and backup_lib.rb to a directory which is added to $PATH
7. For remote backups: Install borg on remote machine and add message_pong to $PATH for notifications about backup process
8. Change BackupLib::HOME in backup_lib.rb to your home path. Don't $HOME, because of running with sudo
9. Copy config.yaml to /etc/borg/config.yaml
10. Make changes in /etc/borg/config.yaml
11. Add pass file encryption/backup via pass generate encryption/backup
12. mkdir /backup
13. Copy pre_backup.sh to /backup/pre_backup.sh and make changes
14. For remote backups: Configure remote destination in $HOME/.ssh/config

# Backup with borg
# Start VPN /etc/openvpn/jokke.conf first
Host jokke-backup
    User dsiw
    HostName <ip>
    PreferredAuthentications publickey
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
    Port 22
    # seconds
    ConnectTimeout 3

I recommend using ssh-agent and gpg-agent.

First backup

1. Show your current password via echo $(pass show encryption/backup)
2. Init all your repositories via borg init ... $YOUR_BACKUP_DESTINATION_FOLDER_FROM_CONFIG/home
3. Start backup -n
