Install Backupninja

On debian, just run 'apt-get install backupninja' and then create backup action configuration files in /etc/backup.d/ using /usr/share/doc/backupninja/examples as inspiration.

To install manually, follow these steps:

Requirements: bash gawk
(highly) Recommended: rdiff-backup gzip hwinfo

Installation:

./configure


make


sudo make install

These files are created:

/usr/sbin/backupninja -- main script

/etc/cron.d/backupninja -- runs main script nightly

/etc/logrotate.d/backupninja -- rotates backupninja.log

/etc/backup.d/ -- directory for configuration files

/etc/backupninja.conf -- general options

/usr/share/backupninja -- handler scripts which do the actual work
