Daily backup configuration on Google Drive

[Rayman]

Hi,

I have setup configuration backup on Google Drive. If I press save it backups to Google Drive fine.

I'm wondering if I can save the backups on a daily basis automatically. If yes, how?

Thanks,
Ray

Maybe not daily, but this would be useful...Is it possible to set up a cron job to get this done?

Actually to be able to have scheduled backups to other media would be useful as well eg SCP/SFTP

Hi,
I'm using rsync over ssh to copy opnsense configuration from /conf to another host.

Just dropped a shell script to opnsense:/usr/local/etc/periodic/daily

Code Select Expand

#!/bin/sh
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
export PATH

/usr/local/bin/rsync -av /conf server:/backups/opnsense


You may need to install rsync via pkg add rsync and setup puplic-key authentication for user root.

Also interested in a scheduling feature. My google drive backup is working fine, but I still have to do it manually.

Sure, this is easy:

https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/9ca729b2

It allows to set a "Remote backup" cron job via the GUI. I'll add it to 18.1.12.


Cheers,
Franco

(Off-Topic) The same is valid for Nextcloud - just a different name.

Yep, it works for all enabled backup methods. :)
