borg_interface

This application provides an interface to borg backup. At a later point it might as well work with restic.

Installation

To install the application either "git clone" it in the folder you want with:

git clone https://git.2li.ch/Nebucatnetzer/borg_interface.git

or simply download it and extract the zip to your prefered location.:

Starting

Before starting the application make sure that you have configured it properly. See the section Configuration for more details. To start the application simply execute the borg_interface.sh file. You will then see a list of options which are fairly self explanatory.

Configuration

To configure borg_interface please edit the borg_interface.cfg file. All the options have to be placed under the [DEFAULT] section. The config file itself can reside at ~/.config/borg_interface/borg_interface.cfg (recommended) or at ~/.borg_interface.cfg or next to the borg_interface.sh script.

The proper syntax is:

option: value

or

option=value

Possible values as of now are:

server

define a server on which the archive reside.

user

defines the user which has permission to connect to the server.

repository_path

defines the path where the repository is set up. This is needed for both a remote and a local repository.

password

defines the repository password

Example Config

[DEFAULT]
server: testserver.local
user: borg
repository_path: /home/borg/backup/repository
password: foo
