# backups
Auto backup script. The objectives are the following:
- Have a raspberry-pi `RPI` (or any other device) doing automatic backups of a remote server `SERVER` every day
- Backups are incremental, without redundancy, it is easy to get data out of a specific snapshot
- `RPI` is not vulnerable to physical access (in a reasonable way):
+ The backup disk is encrypted, but the key is not stored on `RPI`
+ The keys to access `SERVER` are locked and can be "revoked at distance"
- Conversely, if a malicious access is made to `SERVER`, backups are not compromised
- If a backup fails for any reason, a notification is sent (via Discord)
- `RPI` can be accessed remotely, without needing to expose one of its ports
## Installation
On a raspbian distribution, this requires:
- The packages `cryptsetup sshpass`
- a filesystem (in a LUKS device with `LUKS_KEY`) formatted in xfs or btrf (needs either `xfsprogs` or `btrfs-progs`)
- an ssh key locked with `SSH_PASSPHRASE` to access to the server to backup
- Two urls containing each `LUKS_KEY` or `SSH_PASSPHRASE`
- a (Discord) webhook
