> btrbk - backup tool for btrfs subvolumes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Take snapshots (on same disk)
|
||||||
|
- Create multiple backups (on different disks) over SSH
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Snapshots and Backups
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
subvolume: <subvolume-name>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
snapshot: <snapshot-name>.<timestamp>[<N>]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
timestamp: Can be configured using the `timestamp_format` option.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
N: If multiple snapshots are created at the same time, the increasing counter N differentiates them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Actions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`run [filter...]`: In multiple steps, perform snapshots and backups.
|
||||||
|
* Read Data: Perform sanity checks
|
||||||
|
* Create Snapshots
|
||||||
|
* Create Backups
|
||||||
|
* Delete Backups
|
||||||
|
* Delete Snapshots
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`clean [filter...]`: Delete incomplete backups (network error, kill signal while send/receive was ongoing).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### General
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`volume <volume-directory|<ulr>`: Usually the mount point of a btrfs filesystem mounted with `subvolid=5`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`subvolume <subvolume-name|<url>`: Subvolume to be backed up, relative to `<volume-directory>`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`snapshot_dir <directory>`: Directory in which the btrfs snapshots are created, relative to `<volume-directory>`. Hast to be created **manually**!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`target <target-directory>|<url>`: Target directory where the backup subvolumes are to be created. Multiple target sections are allowed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`url`: Accepted formats are:
|
||||||
|
* `ssh://<hostname>[:<port>]/<directory>`
|
||||||
|
* `<hostname>:<directory>`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`hostname`: Either a host name, IPv4 or IPv6 address
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`timestamp_format short|long|long-iso`: This becomes relevant for setups with multiple btrbk instances, e.g. many snapshot-only instances (spread around the world), and a fetch-only instance on the backup server. Make sure to run btrbk with the same time zone on every host, e.g. by setting the TZ environment variable (see tzset(3)).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Retention
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`snapshot_preserve <retention_policy>`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`snapshot_preserve_min all|latest|<number>{h,d,w,m,y}`: Preserve all snapshots for a minimum amount of hours (h), days (d), weeks (w), months (m) or years (y).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`target_preserve <retention_policy>`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`target_preserve_min all|latest|no|<number>{h,d,w,m,y}`: Preserve all snapshots for a minimum amount of hours (h), days (d), weeks (w), months (m) or years (y). If set to "no", only the backups following the `target_preserve` policy are created.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`<retention_policy>`: `[<hourly>h] [<daily>d] [<weekly>w] [<monthly>m] [<yearly>y]`. Defines how many backups of each period should be preserved.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### SSH and Data Stream Options
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`ssh_compression yes|no`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`stream_compress <compress_command>`: Compress the btrfs send stream before transferring it from/to remote locations.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`<compress_command>`: gzip, pigz, bzip2, pbzip2, bzip3, xz, lzo, lz4, zstd.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`stream_buffer <size>|no`: This can give a speed improvement (measured up to 20%) on both local or remote operations, but also increases system load. Make sure that the `mbuffer` command is available. Leave this option disabled if your main concern is a stable backup process: while recent versions of mbuffer have proven reliable, it is often desirable to keep things simple rather than adding an additional, multi-threaded process to the command pipe.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`rate_limit <rate>|no`: Limit the read rate of the btrfs send stream to `<rate>` bytes per second. Implies the `stream_buffer` option.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### System Options
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`transaction_syslog <facility>|no`: Log all transactions to syslog.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`lockfile <file>|no`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Manually create snapshot directory:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
btrfs subvolume create /mnt/12tb1-top-level/@snap
|
||||||
|
btrfs subvolume create /mnt/12tb2-top-level/@snap

Snapshots only:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
btrbk snapshot
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Backup only:
|

|
|
||||||
|
```shell

|
Create an additional snapshot of @home:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
btrbk snapshot @home
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|

## pi3bplus Host Config
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A local `btrbk` instance manages snapshots and local backups.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Another remote backup server periodically pulls snapshots to create remote backups. Here is its config:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
cat > ~/btrbk.cfg <<'EOF'
|
||||||
|
timestamp_format long
|
||||||
|
ssh_identity /mnt/backup/rootnas_ed25519
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
target_preserve_min no
|
||||||
|
# Daily backups -> @daily cron entry
|
||||||
|
target_preserve 7d 4w 6m
|
||||||
|
# Hourly backups -> @hourly cron entry
|
||||||
|
#target_preserve 24h 7d 4w 6m
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Don't create or delete snapshots on remote server "rootnas".
|
||||||
|
snapshot_preserve_min all
|
||||||
