SkyCover Duply Usage Guidelines

All the actions are executing in the command line.
The Windows ™ users should start the CygWin shell.

Prepare¶

If you are planning to save the configuration under /etc (it is available only when running as root), create folder /etc/scduply:

mkdir /etc/scduply

Otherwise the configuration will be automatically placed into ~/.scduply

scduply init

In the file ~/.scduply/conf or /etc/scduply/conf set the values:
GPG_KEY – set the ID of the GPG key, if you planning to use the key,
GPG_PW – set the password for the GPG key, or the password for symmetric encryption (don’t use weak passwords),
TARGET_URL – set the path (network or local) to the backup archive storage (the examples are in the configuration file).

Example:

GPG_PW = 123456 
TARGET_URL = /tmp/sctest

Test¶

Create a job¶

$ scduply JOB create
$ echo /path/to/backup > ~/.scduply/JOB/source

Do backup¶

All configured jobs will be executed

$ scduply bkpall

The first backup of the job will be full, the next will be incremental with per-block difference via librsync algorythm.

Restore¶

$ scduply JOB restore /path/to/restore
