Tutorials and FAQs / Re: Automatic config backups using os-api-backup

« on: April 05, 2023, 09:02:31 pm »

I took your script as an example and created a version which also encrypts the backups using GPG.

You can find the script here:

I also wrote a short blogpost in German with some explanations:

Thanks to the TS for your work!

Nice script, a minor improvement would be to change the date command output to include hour and minute. This makes it possible to run the backup multiple times a day.

$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M)

Also, at the end the clean up is a bit dangerous. If you by accident put the backup files in your home or in / the outcome is terrible
