# remote_backups
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
A simple shell script to retrieve selected remote server directories
|
|
in order to integrate the remote files into the local homelab
|
|
backup solution.
|
|
|
|
Rsync is used so that only changed files are retrieved on subsequent
|
|
runs of the backup script.
|
|
|
|
The script is intended to be run from the crontab for a user that has root ssh
|
|
key access on the remote hosts.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
* bu-hosts
|
|
|
|
This directory contains a file for each remote host to be backed up. The filename
|
|
is the host's FQDN.
|
|
|
|
The file for each host contains the SSH specification for reaching that host.
|
|
|
|
* bu-lists
|
|
|
|
This directory contains a file for each remote host to be backed up. The filename
|
|
is the host's FQDN, with "_bu-list" appended.
|
|
|
|
The file for each host contain a list of directories on the remote host to be backed
|
|
up, one directory per line.
