A specifically-tailored backup script collection. Works well for my situation. It may also work well for yours!

- Bash
- ssh with keys installed
- tar
- rsync (optional)
Run setup.sh.
Edit ~/.config/feckback.conf to suit your environment.
Edit ~/.config/feckback.exclude specify any directories for exclusion.
Note: For feckback.exclude, all directories are relative to the root of the backupDir. This isn't pattern matched, so you'll have to specify each subdirectory for exclusion manually.
It's possible you may want to have more than one backup job on your system.
In that case, run ./setup.sh <newjob> to install a new job with that name..
Then, edit ~/.config/feckback.d/<newjob>.conf and <newjob>.exclude for your job.
Call ./feckback.sh <jobname> and the config and exclude files for that job will be read from feckback.d. Then the job will begin.
Run ./feckback.sh. If your hosts are configured correctly, this should work.
It's always wise to backup your backups. So, I wrote this script because by Synology NAS couldn't write any data to USB without corrupting the filesystem.
Syncnas should be run on an external headless device such as a RPi. It will sync the contents of the network drive with portable storage, assuming you've ssh access and rsync running.
It uses nohup to continue running after logout.
backupwin.cmd - An equivalent in Windows Batch (not Bash) to backup and copy Windows files.
