Goal: Setup a remote machine that will be used for incremental backup of critical parts of the LURK servers.

Requirements

This document assumes you already have:

  • A configure Linux/BSD machine to work as off-site backup
  • A lurk user created on the off-site backup that will be used specifically by the backup scripts
  • All the machines (servers and the backup machine) on a working Tinc VPN
  • Enough space on the off-site backup machine :)
