WROLPi can search any file in your media directory, this can only be accomplished after a full files refresh has been

completed.

# Backup
|
||||
## Backup from one WROLPi to another
|
||||
|
||||
As of the writing of this tutorial, WROLPi does not have an official way to back up a WROLPi. The current workaround
|
||||
is to use rsync with a manual refresh.
|
||||
|
||||
Follow these steps to automate backup of your WROLPi.
|
||||
|
||||
1. SSH/login to the primary WROLPi, add a password for the "wrolpi" user
|
||||
- `sudo -u wrolpi passwd`
|
||||
2. SSH/login into the backup WROLPi
|
||||
1. Switch to the "wrolpi" user:
|
||||
- `sudo su - wropi`
|
||||
2. Generate SSH keys for the wrolpi user:
|
||||
- `ssh-keygen`
|
||||
3. Copy ssh keys to the primary WROLPi (using the password from step 1)
|
||||
- `ssh-copy-id wrolpi@PRIMARY_IP_ADDRESS`
|
||||
4. Ensure the backup can login to the primary by ssh'ing into it from the backup
|
||||
- `ssh wrolpi@PRIMARY_IP_ADDRESS`
|
||||
5. Copy all files from the primary to the backup
|
||||
- `rsync -avrle ssh wrolpi@PRIMARY_IP_ADDRESS:/media/wrolpi/* /media/wrolpi`
|
||||
|
||||
Files are now synchronized, now you need to automate it. Copy/paste the following into the shell of the backup WROLPI,
|
||||
it will create a bash script that will copy files from the primary to the backup WROLPi.
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
cat > /home/wrolpi/backup_wrolpi.sh << 'EOF'
|
||||
#! /usr/bin/env bash
|
||||
logfile=/home/wrolpi/wrolpi.log
|
||||
|
||||
echo >> ${logfile}
|
||||
echo >> ${logfile}
|
||||
echo start $(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") >> ${logfile}
|
||||
/usr/bin/rsync \
|
||||
--exclude="lost+found" \
|
||||
-avue ssh \
|
||||
wrolpi@PRIMARY_IP_ADDRESS:/media/wrolpi/* \
|
||||
/media/wrolpi/ \
|
||||
2>&1 >> ${logfile}
|
||||
echo end $(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") >> ${logfile}
|
||||
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. Modify the above file (at `/home/wrolpi/backup_wrolpi.sh`), replacing `PRIMARY_IP_ADDRESS` with the correct IP
|
||||
address.
|
||||
2. Modify the crontab of the "wrolpi" user so this script runs daily
|
||||
- `sudo -u wrolpi crontab -e`
|
||||
3. Add the following cron entry to run the backup script
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
0 4 * * * /bin/bash -l /home/wrolpi/backup_wrolpi.sh
|
||||
```
