Deja-dup Backup
Déjà Dup provides a nice graphical interface for backing up your SoaS live USB/SD installation
Déjà Dup is a simple backup tool. It hides the complexity of doing backups the
'right way' (encrypted, off-site, and regular) and uses Duplicity_(software) as the backend.
Features:
- Support for local or remote backup locations, including Amazon S3
- Securely encrypts and compresses your data
- Incrementally backs up, letting you restore from any particular backup
- Schedules regular backups
- Integrates well into your GNOME desktop
Installation
From a computer booted from SoaS Mirabelle,
In the Terminal Activity, first switch users to the root user,
su
Then install the software,
yum install duplicity deja-dup
How back up your Soas Mirabelle installation
- Insert a 2nd USB storage device (formatted fat32)
- In the Terminal Activity
deja-dup
- Graphical application starts
Initial Configuration
- edit/Preferences (on top bar of window)
- Backup location: other / places /<your 2nd USB device> <open> (scroll up to find your device)
- Include files in folders ( Home folder is selected) /Add / File system /mnt/live/ <Open>
- Close
Backup
- in the Terminal (as the default liveuser account)
deja-dup
- Graphical application starts
- Backup
Restore to a new replacement SoaS live USB device
- In the Terminal Activity
suyum install duplicity deja-dup
- Repeat initial configuration (listed above)
- Insert 2nd USB device with backup done previously
- In Terminal
deja-dup
- Graphical application starts
- Restore
Notes
- Use a dedicated USB device for Backups for EACH Live USB device you are working with.
- Keep and mark them in pairs.
- Backs up and restores
/usr/share/sugar/activities /home/liveuser/Activities liveOS and syslinux directories (Overlay-live-xxx (persistence) OSmin.img Squashfs.img files
- Does Not back up the Sugar Journal
- Use the same soas.iso to make a replacement USB device for Restoration.
- Can be sugarized Talk:Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/Variations#How_To_Sugarize_liveusb-creator so it will appear as an installed application in the Home view of Mirabelle.
- Sugar Clone, Sugar on a Stick/Sugar Clone, will duplicate a live SoaS installation.
