Hot-Plug Btrbk Automation

This system automatically triggers a btrbk backup whenever a specific external hard drive is plugged in. It also provides desktop notifications so you know when it is safe to unplug the drive.

Features

• Automatic Trigger: Uses udev to detect the drive via UUID.
• Visual Feedback: Desktop notifications for start, success, and failure.
• Configuration-Driven: Keeps your personal data in a separate config file.

Setup

1. Create Configuration:

   sudo mkdir -p /etc/linuxscripts/
   sudo cp backup.conf.example /etc/linuxscripts/backup.conf

   Edit /etc/linuxscripts/backup.conf with your specific values (UUID, username, etc.).

2. Run Installation:

   chmod +x install.sh
   ./install.sh
