How to back up (Odin 10.21.25.3) & (Friia 10.21.25.4) Manually
RDP into Odin (or Friia) via pressing the windows key and typing rdp and typing in the respective IP and logging in with a systems admin login, from there 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 on the right, select "Backup Once...". > Different Options > Full server > Remote Shared Folder > \\10.21.25.13\Backups > hit backup and wait for it to complete the backup.
Automated (W.I.P)
schedule, a single manual backup, or to recover a backup. From here you can choose to do a manual backup. To do a weekly automatic backup follow this guide here . Alternatively there is an easer way doing it through command prompt The following command will create a Task Scheduler task named WeeklySystemStateBackup that runs every Saturday ( SAT ) at 19:00. This task will run WEEKLY with the HIGHEST privileges. It will run the Windows Server Backup CLI to backup SYSTEMSTATEBACKUP to target volume I:. (of course these variables are interchangeable to the users liking) (Source)
SCHTASKS /Create /SC WEEKLY /D <Day Of Week> /TN <TaskName> /RL HIGHEST /ST <StartTime> /TR <Windows Server Backup Command>
SCHTASKS /Create /SC WEEKLY /D SAT /TN WeeklySystemStateBackup /RL HIGHEST /ST 19:00 /TR "WBADMIN START SYSTEMSTATEBACKUP -backupTarget: I: -quiet >> C:backupLogs.txt "
This can also be ran manually via the task scheduler.
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.
