This repository holds files needed for home directory backup based on duplicity
This script is just meant to make it easy for me to run backup of entire home directory, which is less than 100G if excluded properly.
Using duplicity makes it easier to do data recovery on a failed HDD too, as you don't need to fully-encrypt the disk, instead duplicity will encrypt the backup, as well as create extra PAR2 recovery volumes.
The ./home-backup.excludes file has some sane hidden files excludes, plus
some large media directories which should not be backed up.
The ./media-backup.includes file excludes everything and only includes a few
select directories. It does not use encryption nor compression.
To prevent things going nuts on other people's systems I have set the scripts to only do dry-runs.
Published only for educational purposes.
I have this in my ~/.zshrc.d/home-backup.zsh
# settings for http://github.com/conrado/home-backup
export HOMEBACKUP_NODRYRUN=1
export HOMEBACKUP_DEST=/media/conrado/home-backup
export MEDIABACKUP_NODRYRUN=1
export MEDIABACKUP_DEST=/media/conrado/media-backup
