Backup

The router's backups: to a local folder, copied to the cloud with rclone, or to a Proxmox Backup Server.

Sections

  • Settings: whether scheduled backups run, the schedule (hourly, daily or weekly), the target and whether the metrics database is included. A local folder also shows the folder, the archives kept and the cloud copy; a Proxmox Backup Server the repository, whether the token secret is set, the fingerprint, the namespace and the encryption key file.
  • Last run: its result, times, archive or snapshot, size, cloud copy and error, and the next run.
  • Local archives: with their times and sizes, searched by name and time, 10, 25, 50 or 100 at a time.
  • Warnings: the PBS client or rclone the settings need is not installed on the router.

Actions

  • Edit: changes the settings in one dialog. Only the retention settings that apply to the schedule are offered. The rclone remote is one of the router's /etc/vpn-router/rclone.conf, with a path and the mode, sync or copy. The token secret is kept when left empty.
  • Run now: starts a backup; the tab reads every 3 seconds until it ends.

Restoring is done on the router as root with vpn-router-backup restore.
