#HORCRUX EMAIL BACKUP COUPON FULL#
Use this in conjunction with the full_if_old= to control how many full backups will be run and saved. Remove_n=3 means that you will not have more than three full backups, because if you create a fourth full backup the oldest one will be removed.
#HORCRUX EMAIL BACKUP COUPON HOW TO#
(Again, please refer to any of the many good GPG how-tos to learn how to use gpg-agent.) Use_agent=true, because Horcrux will need your GPG passphrase, and gpg-agent is the best way to manage GPG passwords. That recursively lists all the files on your filesystem, which will generate more than enough entropy to keep GPG happy. I will give you one great tip: the easy way to generate enough entropy when you’re creating GPG keys is to run this command in a separate terminal: $ ls -R / There are a pasquillion how-tos on creating and managing GPG keys, so I shall not repeat them here.
This is optional, but highly recommended for offsite backups. If you prefer, you can narrow it down to a specific source directory: source="/just/this/directory/"Īlways use the full path and don’t forget the trailing slash.Įncrypt_key=123456 is the key ID of your GPG encryption key. Source="//" specifies the root directory as the source directory, so you can back up any files in your filesystem. On my server it is owned by root:root, and. Then run it with no options to generate its global configuration file, ~/.horcrux/nf. Make it owned by a user with sufficient permissions to read the files you want backed up. Copy it from the download page into a new text file, give it a name, make it executable and put it in a directory that’s in your path. Horcrux also includes a simple way to test your backups. If you’re already a Duplicity user, Horcrux adds the ability to easily send backups to different locations, to encrypt them, and to customize each one if you wish. Each Horcrux requires an act of murder, and each one diminishes the humanity of its creator.įortunately, using Chris Poole’s Horcrux doesn’t require any awful deeds, but merely editing some configuration files. Creating multiple Horcruxes is a way to achieve immortality. Then if the physical body is destroyed, the witch or wizard can be resurrected. If you’re not a Harry Potter fan, a dark wizard or witch can hide a fragment of their soul in a physical object.
Horcrux uses what its author, Chris Poole, calls the Voldemort approach, which is multiple backups to multiple locations. Horcrux is an excellent wrapper around the rsync-based Duplicity, for easily managing automated, encrypted backups to multiple locations.
