[![Install Borg with YunoHost](https://install-app.yunohost.org/install-with-yunohost.svg)](https://install-app.yunohost.org/?app=borg)
A [Borg](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html#what-is-borgbackup) implementation to backup a YunoHost server. This is the Borg Backup App to be installed on a server to backup. It works together with a [Borg Server App](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/borgserver_ynh) installed on a host server.

## How to backup your server with this app?
You want to backup a critical "guest" Server A onto a remote "host" Server B, you need:
* Domain name of server B: ``host.serverb``
* Name of the server B SSH user (to be created by ``borgserver``) for connection from Server A: ``borgservera``
* Domain name of server B: `host.serverb`
* Name of the server B SSH user (to be created by `borgserver`) for connection from Server A: `borgservera`
* **Strong passphrase** to encrypt your backups on host Server B. And to **restore your backups**!!
* IDs of YunoHost apps you want to backup
* Regular time schedule for your backups, see below
* Install Borg Backup App (``borg``) on guest Server A
* Install Borg Server App (``borgserver``) on host Server B
* Install Borg Backup App (`borg`) on guest Server A
* Install Borg Server App (`borgserver`) on host Server B
* Save the passphrase in another place than your server. Without the passphrase, you won't be able to restore data.
You should received an email after the first backup succeeded.

You can schedule regular backups at specific time. Only one regular time schedule is possible for one ``borg`` instance, see below for workaround. Some examples:

- the server to backup/restore will be called: `yuno`
- the remote server that receives and store the back will be called: `rem`
- `rem` is accessible at the domain `rem.tld`
- the remote user on `rem` which owns the borg backups will be called `yurem`

Connect via ssh to `rem`, go to `/home/yurem/.ssh/authorized_keys`, and past the borg public key you got at previous step.
