Looking for simple ways, e.g. maybe some script, rsync, schedule with at or cronsomething, to backup a bunch of files onto some removable media drive e.g. attached via usb to a leap 42.2 machine for instance. Any good pointers on what would be an easy, scriptable and automatable way to achieve this? I have some long path names so I probably need to stick to ext-something on the removable drive as well. The files all belong to a certain username on the linux machine, or maybe a group, but nothing really complex. The script and the tools would hopefully run as this normal username on the leap machine. I wonder if all this stuff about mounting the removable media and writing to it, later unmounting and ejecting the removable media can be achieved with a normal restricted nonroot user and nonroot scripts. I guess rsync with some mirror method to only freshen and update and add to the removable media would suffice for my needs. Maybe longer term stuff, would be as these removable media would be taken to some secure place safe or vault, that the media need another encryption layer underneath the ext-something. Is there any cool solution already out there for me to use? I am new to this. Thanks for all the hints and pointers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
