'# backupd Compressed and encrypted backups
Don't expect any sort of fanciness. Really. It is just a simple script that compresses the selected folder with xz, encrypts it with GPG and then moves it to a destination folder (local or remote). Plain and simple.
It does include basic support for WebDAV, but using other protocols shouldn't be hard to implement.
- A decent OS ¯_(ツ)_/¯
- Bash
- GnuPG
- xz
- pigz
- Some stuff to backup
- davfs2 (optional)
- A pinch of love

You can run this script manually or let the systemd service do it for you.
By default, it will run the sync process weekly, 10 minutes after boot, but you can
change this editing the section [Timer] of /usr/lib/systemd/user/backupd.timer .
