# Steps to use this project:

1. Make sure to install Python and Pip correctly

2. Set the execute flags:

```bash

chmod +x install.sh

chmod +x run.sh

chmod +x backup.py

```

3. Install all required pip package dependencies with:

```bash

pip install -r requirements.txt

```

4. Setup a WebDav server and create a folder to be accessible from the script.

5. Adjust your settings in the [backup.py](https://github.com/SeppPenner/RaspberryPiBackupClient/blob/master/backup.py) file:

```python

language = lang.Lang('english') # Valid ones are currently 'german' and 'english'

folders = {'examplefolder': '/var/lib/example', 'examplefolder2':'/etc/example/'}

webdavroot = 'https://someurl.com/backup/'

webdavuser = "user"

webdavpassword = "password"

```

6. Run the backup client in a cronjob, e.g.

```bash

0 6 1 * * /usr/bin/python3 /home/something/backup.py

```

to run it on each first day of the month at 6 o'clock in the morning.

7. If you do not use a self signed certificate, disable the following line

```python

urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

```
