Borg systemd scripts
====================
These are some systemd .service and .timer scripts that I use for
personal backups. Here is how to set them up and monitor them.
How to add new backup repo
--------------------------
1. Initialize a borg repo:
.. code-block:: bash
borg init --encryption none ~/Backup/borg/host-user-repo
2. Use a custom `borg-backup-topic.{service,timer}` pair of scripts to
set up *what* to back up and *how* often. Copy both to user's systemd
scripts and then enable/start timers:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo cp borg-backup-topic.service /etc/systemd/user
sudo cp borg-backup-topic.timer /etc/systemd/user
systemctl --user enable borg-backup-topic.timer
systemctl --user start borg-backup-topic.timer
How to check that backups are working
-------------------------------------
.. warning::
If you are running services with superuser privileges, repeat all
the subsequent commands *without* the `--user` switch.
Make sure the timers are enabled and running:
.. code-block:: bash
systemctl --user list-timers --all
Make sure the services are ok:
.. code-block:: bash
systemctl --user status borg-backup-topic
