# Crypted backups

## About
This collection of systemd timers/services and scripts enables a precise - gpg encrypted - backup of certain configuration data.  
System-wide backups and user-specific backups are possible.

## Features
Backups of the following program settings/profiles/folders are possible:  
### System
* aura
* bitlbee
* git
* mail/ mailman
* mariadb
* /var/log
* /var/log/journal
* websites

### User
* firefox
* thunderbird

## Requirements
At the moment crypted-backups only supports [xz](http://tukaani.org/xz/) compression.  

## Configuration
Crypted-backups uses two forms of configuration files. One for system-wide services and one for user services.  

### System
The configuration file for system services can be found in */etc/crypted-backups* and is well documented.

### User
The configuration file for user services is read from *$HOME/.config/crypted-backups*. 
Make sure to copy and modify one from your system skeleton folder (**/etc/skel/.crypted-backups**).

## TODO
* Using [pixz](https://github.com/vasi/pixz)
* Using [rsync](https://rsync.samba.org/) for backup mirroring

## License
Crypted-backups is licensed under the GPLv3.
