Backup solution similar to the usbbackup plugin

1. offizieller Beitrag

    The usbbackup plugin offers a very convenient option for backing up shared folders. However, since the concept of shared folders does not quite fit in with my intended solution, I am looking for a way to execute a shell script as soon as a USB HDD with a specific serial number is connected to the system.


    The plugin/script should mount the HDD connected via USB in a specific directory and execute an existing backup script in the next step.


    Unfortunately, I have no idea how to check whether the disk is connected or not in order to execute the backup script.


    Is there a suitable plugin for this, or other solutions?

    There is no such plugin, but you can create this functionality on your own. Have a look here:

    RE: Encrypted Backup
    It isn't that hard to build a own script!
    I wanted to backup my data to a overlay filesystem (mergerfs), but that didn't work with the USB Backup plugin. So I had to build something on my own. (Backup to multiple disks)

    You would have to:
    1) create encrypted discs (it doesn't matter if via GUI or commandline it will be decryptable via GUI anyway)
    2) setup a udev rule to run a system service which controls the backup whenever a backup disk becomes available (Do NOT start a backup script directly…
    jcd

    Thank for pointing me in the right direction, macom. Will dive into it.
