vbackup


vbackup is a super handy software that makes system backups a breeze. You can easily extend it with user scripts, and it’s fully customizable to meet your system's needs. Whether you want to do full or incremental backups, vbackup has got you covered!



Features of vbackup


So, what can vbackup do? It consists of a bunch of scripts (or modules) that handle different aspects of backups. Here’s what it currently supports:



  • Filesystem backup using tar

  • XFS backup using xfsdump

  • PostgreSQL database backup

  • MySQL database backup

  • Debian package list backup



Storage Options


You can store your backups locally or on a remote NFS partition that you can mount when needed. That flexibility is pretty great!



Customization and Extensions


The cool part about vbackup is that its behavior can be fully extended, and you can easily add new methods as needed.



Installation for Debian Users


If you're on Debian, you might want to use the packaged version. Just add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:


deb http://hydra.it.teithe.gr/debian unstable main

Then install it with:


apt-get update ; apt-get install vbackup
