FOSS Backup server

ubuntu 20.04 vm
4 core
8gb ram
32gb boot disk
100gb secondary disk on synology

is on 20.04 because the devs dont have a ppa release for distros that came after the app versions release, so next time they update the server it'll work for the modern ubuntu version
Synology drive is mounted as so

1. Syno is mounted to the prox host via the datacenter tab (always forget that menu exists)
2. AFTER os install on the vm, add disk to host on Syno. Having it added prior fails to start and cant kill -9 the process, reboot req
3. edit the /etc/fstab to mount the disk at boot to /media/BACKUP/urbackup
4. install urbackup server
   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:uroni/urbackup  
   sudo apt-get update  
   sudo apt-get install urbackup-server
   
5. next next next
6. forward NPM to ip : 55414
   

installing the client on a pc on the local network will be auto discovered, and initial backup will be taken
defaults to file level backup, I disabled that in favor of image backups, I like them better

 

Restore Process

EZPZ
they have a iso you download, boot it
make sure it can see the network
if local, itll auto-discover, and ask for creds
if remote, point it at the server, then give creds and remote pw (on server gui internet tab)
pick the backup
hit go, watch it dance
BIG GREEN BAR up top means done, reboot, and rejoice
