Backup-RClone

This script can create a backup of directories on a remote server. In addition to RClone's own encryption, the files can be backed up in plain text or be encrypted with GPG/PGP.

Dependencies

• rclone
• sqlite3

Features

• Backup over RClone
• Encryption of the files
• configuration files per archive directory

Installation

git clone https://git.marcelsite.com/marcel/backup-rclone.git
cd backup-rclone

Usage

To make a backup, you need to put a .backup.env-file into the root of the directory you want to back up. An example file is inside of this repository. You need to edit the file first to yur liking:

• enctype: if you want the files to be encrypted pre-upload. (gpg: encrypt for RECIPIENT_ID; plain: don't encrypt)
• include: (optional) directories/files to consider for a backup
• exclude: (optional) directories/files to never backup, even if in include
• backdir: root directory on the remote server (e.g. backup:pc1/documents)
• hashdb: path to the database file on the remote server
• RECIPIENT_ID: (only if enctype="gpg") the ID of the recipient's public key
