Deja-dup Backup soas-v2-Blueberry

PRELIMINARY

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 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

How to Sugarize deja-dup

DO this when running a live USB SOAS

Locations of activities in sugar versions:

soas-1-strawberry           /home/liveuser/Activites
soas-v2-Blueberry           /home/liveuser/Activities
soas-i386-Nightly composes: /usr/share/sugar/activities
soas-v3-Mirabelle:          /usr/share/sugar/activities
F12-EDU-spin:               /home/xxxx/Activities

in sugar-terminal

 yum install gedit

Instructions:

copied from: http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/#sugxterm--------

"Sugarize an X terminal program (SOURCES: [1], [2],[3],[4] and CatMoran)

I know that this works for firefox, I can't vouch for any other program. I know that it does not work for mc. It also doesn't work for roto's current mplayer configuration, because only programs that use the same command every time (ie, no input file name, in this case) can be set up to run this way.

To setup (one time):

Start a Terminal activity. Enter the following commands. (They log you in as root, gets a copy of Albert Cahalan's compiled libsugarize file, and gets the script I created.)

su
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/libsugarize.so
chmod 755 libsugarize.so
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/sug
chmod 755 sug

Optional, if you want to use the icons I've already 'created':
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/plain.svg
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/ff.svg
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/l.svg

>*the script "sug" needs to be edited to reflect the location of activities in different versions of SUGAR:

*Edit the line :"CREATEPATH"= at begining of script "sug"
(use gedit command in terminal)

/bin/sh
CREATEPATH=/home/xxxx/Activities/
ACTIVITYFILE=activity/activity/activity.info

>

To run:

Locate an icon you want to use/reuse. You can copy any .svg file located in /usr/share/activities/*.activity/activity/*.svg >(SEE NOTE AT TOP OF PAGE)<

Or you can use one of the icons I've created. (wget commands above.) plain.svg is a plain circle, ff.svg is a circle with FF (for firefox) inside, l.svg is a circle with L

inside. ff.svg and l.svg can easily be edited for any two or one character(s). Open the file in any text editor. Each letter is in plain text just before the </tspan> tags,

replace them and save the file.

Enter the following commands, to log in as root and execute the sug script. >(SEE NOTE AT TOP OF PAGE and edit script for your version of sugar)<

su ./sug

You'll be prompted for an activity name. Enter a short, descriptive name with no spaces or punctuation, such as BibleTime or Firefox.

You'll be prompted for an icon file to copy into the new task. You can enter the full path and filename of any .svg file. If the icon is in the same directory as the sug file, you can enter just the filename.

You'll be prompted for the command to start the program. This is the command you entered from Terminal to start the program, such as firefox.

You'll be prompted for an organization path, such as org.mozilla If you don't know what this is, just enter org.x

(If at any of the prompts you want to quit the script, just enter nothing at the prompt.)

The script will give you a success message. Reboot sugar to see the new task in the sugar taskbar."
