Backup Procedures

How to back up Odin (10.21.25.3)

RDP into Odin, and from the start menu type "Windows Server Backup", and from the Snap-in on the left highlight "Local Backup". From here we have a menu to create a back up schedule, a single manual backup, or to recover a backup.

How to back up Logan_Web (10.21.25.11) manually

we use a program called rsync, to run a manual backup with rsync we need to do something called a "pull request". A pull request is Midgaurd asking Logan_Web "hey give me your files" while a push request would be "hey take all my files".

In order to do a pull request with rsync we need to make sure we have ssh rsa authentication for rsync (learn more, or if rsa is not set up/needs to be setup instructions here) and run the command:

sudo rsync -aP [email protected]:/ /mnt/user/Backups/LEMPSTACK_backup/

This will sync the root of the filesystem from Logan_Web with the LEMPSTACK_backup directory, essentially copying the whole drive.
