friendica (DFRN) - Odnośnik do źródła

So, I have a microSD card in my mouse USB hub. I would like to make it my handy #backup in case of the main disk failure, for things like my password manager database, browser config files and some precious resources like rare fonts or LibreOffice templates I made.

My laptop runs #Debian / #KDE, and I am looking for some simple #utility to run the #sync, perhaps with versioning, whenever one of the files on the source list changes.
For other purposes I run #Syncthing, but I canot see a way to use it between two local folders.
OTOH I am not afraid of the console, and I am keen to learn some simple way to #script the task.

#debian #kde #backup #script #syncthing #utility #sync

#rsync is popular for local syncing, many options, run it periodically or in a script with inotifywait. No versioning though, am using #borgbackup for that.
#rsync #borgbackup

Następujące polecenie przeniesie lub zsynchronizuje wszystkie pliki z jednego katalogu do innego katalogu na tym samym komputerze. W tym przykładzie /root/appimage zawiera kilka plików pakietów appimage i chcesz, aby katalog ten został skopiowany do folderu /tmp/kopia/ .

# rsync -avzh /root/appimage /tmp/kopia/

it has been some time since i used it, but BackInTime had versioning iirc. You should be able to find it in most repos like Ubuntu’s, but it doesn’t have windows or macos versions.

You can also try Deja Dup. flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Dej…

the usual way of doing this would be rsync. it is a good tool to know how to use. can quickly get complicated though.

if you would like a GUI to run rsync, the best one by a long mile is LuckyBackup. It can manage versions for you.

I'd advise you to make a separate manual backup of your data while you are learning because you could accidentally delete the source data by mistake.
