ElJef Backup

ElJef Backup is a simple backup program that runs operations as steps. It is easy to integrate into large scripting systems. It is not meant to run as a replacement for other backup software.

Things ElJef Backup Does

  • Makes full copy backups of data
  • Compresses the finished backup (if requested)
  • Can mount SSHFS before backups so data can be copied to remote systems
  • Can stop containers before backups via docker-compose or docker directly

Things ElJef Backup Does Not Do

  • Does not encrypt backups
  • Does not do incremental backups
  • Does not do snapshots
    • This could be implemented as a plug-in for filesystem or LVM snapshots
