Backup a Raspberry over the network

[dverleysen]

Hey,

i'm searching a tool or a kind of code to backup my Raspberry every night to my Synology. A 'dump' should be perfect but I don't know if this is possible over the network with a working Raspberry.

Some one has any experience in making a dump over the network?
Let me know

Thanks!

sudo rsync -vax / user@remote.location:/path/to/data
sudo rsync -vax /boot/ user@remote.location:/path/to/data/boot

I don't think my MySQL database will be copied with that command, not sure...?
Is there a tool or command to backup everything, like a kind of 'dump' that I can take.

Why: In case of a crash of the raspberry, I can recover everything easly...

Why not? MySQL databases are a just a bunch of files in /var/lib/mysql (nothing special). You should probably close mysqld while you run the rsync.

Code: Select all

 mysqldump -u <uname> -p <pword> --all-databases > alldb_backup.sql
