Editing Home systems (section)

== Backing up the server ==

Run the following command on the desktop which has the backup disk mounted.  This will backup /home to the backup drive, and this command should be repeated for each filesystem on linux server.  rsync is now enabled on the msgsb.com server.

 rsync -avzH linux2:/home2 /media/mhamilton/Seagate\ Backup\ Plus\ Drive/home2/

Also this can be run on the pi at the condo.  Login to the condo pi and run the following commands:

 ssh pi@h-condo.dyndns.org
 rsync -avzh mhamilton@msgsb.com:/home3 /backup-msgsb/home3

To setup ssh to not query for passwords, from the pi:

 ssh-keygen
 ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub mhamilton@msgsb.com

To run the following backup command:

 rsync -avzh --rsync-path="sudo rsync" rsyncuser@nextcloud:/home/rsyncuser/ /backup-nextcloud

the sudoers file on the nextcloud server must be updated with the following line added:

 rsyncuser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

=== Current implemented procedure ===

The nextcloud server has a user (rsyncuser) which runs a backup process every saturday night at 3am.  This process is run from the script "backup.sh".  It runs the nextcloud.export process which creates a backup copy of the nextcloud environment (hopefully) in a backup area within the "common/backups" folder in nextcloud environment.  This backup is then moved to the location within the rsyncuser file system space.

Next the rpi runs a script sunday morning at 4am using rsync to copy the data from the rsyncuser file system to the rpi backup disk.  The backup disk is currently "/dev/sdb1" partition.  

At 3am the rpi runs a script to rsync the /home2,3,4 filesystems from the linux1 server to the "/dev/sda1" disk.
