Not that I am aware of.  Armbian is focused on much lower level things, like kernels, etc.

 

Have you studied the script?  Maybe you could adapt it (or even use it directly)?

Is there a backup and restore script on armbian using rsync and NFS for backup entire system to NAS like there is on dietpi (dietpi-backup) which is excellent?

 

That's beyond the feature-scope of Armbian.      And yes a great feature on diet-pi, which makes a very nice appliance experience for the user..... part of it's appliciance-ification approach to config management is also what lets it back up so nicely.

I'll try, but I'm a poor bash script developer

# Suffix "/" match directories only, no files or symlinks.
# Using wildcard "*" matches any item name or part of it.
# Since the list is processed from top to bottom and the first match defines the result,
#   includes need to be defined before their wildcard exclude rule
#   and in case excludes before their wildcard include rule.
# Symlinks are handled as such and never processed recursively.
# Excluded directories are not processed recursively, so contained items cannot be included.
# Hence, to include items within an excluded directory:
# - Do not exclude the directory itself, but contained items via wildcard.
# - Define includes first, to override the wildcard exclude rule.
# - See the below default rules, how we exclude all items below /mnt
#   but include the dietpi_userdata directory, if it is no symlink.
# To prevent loops, the backup target dir, log and config are excluded internally.

Yeah, I went ahead and put it into a spoiler (to fold away) but something that big (especially that likely exists publicly in some forge) I would have probably linked to, personally.

 

Well, I give you credit for at least doing some investigation.  :)

 

Other than noticing the great length of that script, I will admit to not investing any time whatsoever studying it any further.  :)

 

However, my immediate thought is:  Do you really want to rely on something so complex to continue to be maintained by a third party?  Or to fork and maintain yourself?  Especially given that bash scripting is admittedly not your cup of tea?

 

Prior to seeing this script, I was already a bit skeptical about how far DietPi strays away from standard Debian ways of doing things.  But that was based on very brief experience playing around with it only once some time ago.

 

If we take a step back to the fundamental problem that is trying to be solved here, that seems to me essentially to be backup.  And backup is good!  However perhaps there is some other better way to go about that?

For backups I occasionally create a direct sector-by-sector image using Win32DiskImager. Usually when I've made a fair few user-land alterations, which reminds me that I am due to take another back-up soon.

I need something like TimeShift or Systemback (other examples). I tested these two apps that I've always used on Linux distros, but they didn't work on Armbian. I'd like incremental snapshots of file system to be restored at a later date to undo all changes to the system.

You're probably going to need to be a little more hands on with the tool you choose.    

 

I like borg and borgmatic.

Hey guys, I searched for "snap" in the Software application and "Back In Time" appeared with a graphical interface 🤣 I'm so glad Armbian read my mind. 🤭

Now I'm trying to configure: I don't know which system folder I should choose for backup (in the future I want to restore only the system) and where to save the snapshots.
