At least it's android and better than xiaomi

Opensuse can also be rolling. And that is european!

I guess those did not respond to the questionair and are left out

Are these cheap european electric cars with us in the room right now?

the backup is working

all good. thanks for exchanging our experience :)

kopia wasn't running durin the week. I didn't look into the server configuration since it introduces user handling and that seemed to be overkill for the task but running as daemon would lead to a funcitoning system of course.

this is my kopia.service file in case some else finds it and is interested in it

[Unit]

Description=kopia backup

[Service]

User=root ExecStart=$HOME/bin/backup_kopia

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

where $HOME/bin/backup_kopia contains

#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/kopia repository connect filesystem --path $KOPIA_REPO --password $KOPIA_PASSWORD

/usr/bin/kopia snapshot create $HOME/folder_to_backup

and my kopia.timer

[Unit]

Description=Run kopia backup

[Timer]

OnCalendar=hourly

Persistent=true

[Install]

WantedBy=timers.target

It's a fedora server.

according to kopia's repo, there is no official systemd service https://github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/2685 and there is none on my system.

in the past week, it did not backup anything. Hence, there is no scheduler built into kopia automagically as described/ hinted in the docs.

I just wrote a systemd service and timer and I'll see if it works. I'm not the best in using systemd. I dislike it, I like cron for it's simplicity.

Even if it works then, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone because info about the scheduler is rare and the docs do not even cover the topic.

I couldn't find a systemd unit or service.

Kopia will then automatically begin taking the snapshot following the settings you set for the policy. link

I'm not yet sure about that

Thank you! That sounds great! I already own drives and a machine. I just want to upgrade and make it more secure. I don't need a NAS then.

Thank you!

I can't find anything related to systemd or cron. Does it have its own scheduler? I already set policies. I'm just wondering if I forgot something to setup.

thanks! I installed it and created my first backup. I'll test it and see how it goes. It looks good. Thank you!
