backup-scripts
This repository includes a series of scripts to setup and maintain borg repositories, both encrypted and unencrypted.
Assumptions
For remote repositories, this script assumes that you already have users, ssh keys, services, storage, and access permissions already configured. It is recommended that a remote borg repository has it's own user associated with it on the remote machine as a security precaution. That user should be the owner of all directories where the actual repository is to be stored.
If you have questions, you can see the borg documentation.
Disclaimer
Before running any software on your machine, it is good practice to read through it and have at least a general understanding of what it does. I'm just someone on the internet, writing software. It may have bugs. It may make assumptions about your system. It may need modification. This is backup software. It's important you understand what it's doing with your data. Don't trust a single thing I say here, read the software. Code speaks for itself.
This software is distributed WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY. If I'm feeling generous, and haven't grown tired of maintaining this software, I MAY make changes. If you have any questions, read the LICENSE file.
AI Disclaimer
All code in this repository was written by a human, however it was passed through a review process using Google Gemini. My time is precious. Troubleshooting with the help of an AI greatly speeds up the process. This is not "vibe coded", however, it was "spellchecked" with the use of an AI. If this bothers you, don't run this software. It's as simple as that.
The AI helps fix my mistakes, but it does not write my code. It offers suggestions, and I use my best judgement to decide whether or not I want to include them. Sometimes I allow it to annotate my code with comments, when I'm pressed for time.
Installation
Installation of this software is easy. It's a few commands, and a few prompts.
git clone https://git.sassysalamander.net/wytch/backup-scripts.git
cd backup-scripts
less install.sh #RTFC!
bash install.sh

Final thoughts
I encourage you, once again, to read and understand all code in this repo. It is publicly available, as open source software. Knowledge is power. Take the power over your computing back. The best way to do that is to write your own software. The second best way to do that is to read and understand all the software you install. The third best way to do that is to verify software you do not trust.
Do not trust me. I'm just someone on the internet, writing software. Use your best judgement.
