- borg
- deno (installed automatically by the installation script)
- rclone (optional, required if you want to use
--sync)
By default the install script will install both deno and the backup script to
/usr/local/bin, which usually requires running the script as root.
You can set BACKUP_INSTALL_DIR and BACKUP_SCRIPT_NAME to customise the
install directory and script filename respectively. This can be used to install
for a single user, so that you dont need root.
# install as root for all users
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luludotdev/backup/master/install.sh | sh# install for the current user
export BACKUP_INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/.local/bin"
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luludotdev/backup/master/install.sh | sh# show help
backup --help
# backup the contents of ~/Documents to ~/backup/documents
backup --name documents --repo ~/backup/documents --keep 7d ~/DocumentsIf running the script inside a cron job, make sure you add the deno, borg,
and rclone binaries to cron daemon's PATH.
# add this line to your crontab before any backup jobs
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
