<hr />
<div>[[Category:System recovery]]<br />
== Intro ==<br />
This wiki page contains a guide on how to set up [http://www.miek.nl/projects/hdup2/hdup.html hdup], "The little, spiffy, backup tool". (Don't be discouraged by the fact that on its website it says "Unmaintained!". It is a mature program, and that warning means only that its author, Miek Gieben, develops and uses a similar program ([http://www.miek.nl/projects/rdup/index.html rdup]), which is a bit more difficult to use.) Although {{ic|hdup}} is a command line program, it's easy to set up, so do not be afraid.<br />
<br />
=== Features ===<br />
* archives are tar.bz2 (or tar.gz)<br />
* incremental backups (monthly-weekly-daily scheme)<br />
* backups over ssh<br />
* encrypted backups (mcrypt, gpg)<br />
<br />
=== Other backup programs ===<br />
See the general wiki article about [[backup programs]].<br />
<br />
== Installing/running/restoring ==<br />
<br />
=== Installing and setting hdup up ===<br />
<br />
* hdup is in the [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43255 AUR].<br />
<br />
* We need to edit the configuration file '''/etc/hdup/hdup.conf'''. There's one supplied, so you can just edit that one; or you can use the minimal one listed here:<br />
[global]<br />
# to which dir the archives will be written<br />
archive dir = /vol/backup<br />
# chown the archives to this user<br />
user = <yourusername><br />
<br />
[my-comp]<br />
# what to backup, separate with ,.<br />
# For directories add closing slash, like /home/<br />
dir = /home/,/var/abs/local/<br />
# do not include theses directories<br />
exclude = lost\+found/, /proc/, /dev/, /sys/<br />
* You '''need to modify''' at least the following options:<br />
** '''archive dir''': that's where the backups will be written to<br />
** '''user''': created archives will be chowned to this user; you can just use your username. This is needed since hdup needs to be run as root.<br />
** '''dir''': that's the list of directories whose contents you want to back up).<br />
<br />
The rest of the comments about the config file can be skipped on the first<br />
reading. They describe various other options you can use if the hdup.conf file:<br />
* You can have more than one ''profile'' (the one used above is named '''my-comp'''). This means that you can have a couple of independent backup schemes. For instance, you might want to have another one for your webpages:<br />
[my-webpages]<br />
dir = /var/www/<br />
* To have a simple means of excluding some directories, use the '''nobackup''' option. It specifies the filename, which if it exists in a directory, then that directory is excluded from backing up.<br />
nobackup = .nobackup<br />
This can be used for example to exclude backing up of opera cache, by creating and empty .nobackup file in the cache directory:<br />
touch ~/.opera/cache4/.nobackup<br />
* You can specify the compression algorithm used:<br />
compression = bzip<br />
compression level = 6<br />
* hdup refuses to restore backups to / by default, since it can be dangerous. To override this, use<br />
# allow restoring to /<br />
force = yes<br />
<br />
=== Running hdup ===<br />
<br />
Let's first explain the monthly-weekly-daily scheme of backups. The 'monthly'<br />
archives contain all the data you specify to backup. The 'weekly' archives<br />
contain only those files, which have changed from the last 'monthly' backup.<br />
Finally, 'daily' contain only those which have changed from the last 'weekly'<br />
backup.<br />
<br />
Of course, 'monthly', 'weekly' and 'daily' are just names, you do not need to<br />
perform backups in these intervals. But you cannot perform a 'weekly', unless<br />
you have at least one 'monthly', etc.<br />
<br />
So, how does hdup implement this scheme?<br />
<br />
As root, you can run hdup with the command like<br />
hdup monthly my-comp<br />
This creates a directory 'my-comp' in the directory you specified in the config file (/vol/backup), and inside it two other directories: 'etc' and (current date) '2008-02-23'. The 'etc' one contains some hdup's files, and the '2008-02-23' one will have a big .tar.bz2 archive in it. That's your backup.<br />
<br />
After some time after 'monthly' backup, you decide you want to backup again. Now you can run hdup as<br />
hdup weekly my-comp<br />
and hdup will archive only what has changed from the 'monthly', and the archive will be put into another dir named after current date in /vol/backup/my-comp.<br />
<br />
It should be clear now how the backing up works. Note that if hdup cannot find a 'monthly' and you ask it to do a 'weekly', it will complain. See the tips section.<br />
<br />
=== Restoring backups ===<br />
<br />
To restore, you need to have all 'parent' archives (ie. if you want to restore a weekly backup, you also need to have its 'monthly' available). The command for restoring is<br />
hdup restore my-comp 2008-01-31 /somedir<br />
With this, hdup will try to restore things as they've been up to the date specified, and it will unpack to the directory /somedir. You can force it to unpack right away to / (see 'force' option above), but be very careful with this!<br />
<br />
Note that the backups are just .tar.bz2 archives, so if you need a particular file from a particular date, just use any archive manager (or tar and bzip2) to open the archive and copy the needed file over.<br />
<br />
=== More goodies: encryption and ssh ===<br />
<br />
If you've got here, let me remind you that '''man hdup''' and '''man hdup.conf''' are your friends!<br />
<br />
* For gpg encryption, you want to add something like<br />
algorithm = gpg<br />
key = <your gpg key identifier><br />
either to [global] (then it's going to be used for all profiles), or just to a profile part. The archives will then be encrypted with your public key (so you can only decrypt them with your secret key). Note that you can decrypt them manually with<br />
gpg -d <archive file><br />
in case you need it.<br />
<br />
* For mcrypt encryption<br />
algorithm = rijndael-192<br />
key = <path to the key file><br />
<br />
If you want to use another algorithm choose one from<br />
mcrypt -list<br />
<br />
{{Note| Key file will be needed for decryption, so it's not a good idea to keep it on the same drive you're backing up.}}<br />
<br />
==== Backing up over SSH ====<br />
<br />
To backup your local machine (say, laptop) to remote machine (your server) you need to install hdup to both machines.<br />
<br />
On the remote machine you need to have following settings in [global]<br />
archive dir = /backup/path/on/remote<br />
allow remote = yes<br />
<br />
And make a same host entry to the remote hdup.conf than you have in the local hdup.conf.<br />
<br />
So if you have <br />
[my-comp]<br />
dir = /home/<br />
exclude = lost\+found ...<br />
<br />
Add to the remote hdup.conf<br />
[my-comp]<br />
Nothing else is needed, just the [host] entry<br />
<br />
Now you can backup your laptop to your server using following command<br />
hdup monthly my-comp @username@myserver.com<br />
<br />
=== Tips ===<br />
<br />
* You can of course burn the archives to cd/dvd with any burning software you like. The only thing to remember here is that the 'parent' archive is needed when you're doing a 'child' backup (like you need 'monthly' for 'weekly'). However, if you're tight on space, this can be achieved by mounting the cd/dvd with 'parent' backup, and soft linking its directory into /vol/backup, so that hdup can find it there.<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting ==<br />
<br />
On Debian Etch, I had to add the ''-P'' option when running ''hdup''. This solved the following error:<br />
<br />
/bin/tar: /opt/backup/debian/etc/filelist: file name read contains null</div>Skyline
