Truenas-Conf-Backup

This is a small script to backup a configuration of a Truenas server

Features:

  • Save backup of your Truenas config by CLI.
  • Be able to restore it through the GUI
  • Automaticly send you the backup archive when changes are detected

Instructions :

Step 1 :

  • Configure emails through the GUI (System --> Email)

Step 2 :

  • Clone this repository in the folder of your choice

Step 3 :

  • Edit the file saveconf.sh to specify FROM address, and TO address. You can also change the subject and/or the body. Additionally, if you want to keep older backup, you can simple change SAVE="NO" to SAVE="YES" and your backups will be save in /path/to/the/script/backup/send/.

Step 4 :

  • On a shell chmod +x path/to/the/repo/saveconf.sh

Step 5 :

  • Add the job to cron (via the GUI or via CLI) :
    • Command : path/to/the/repo/saveconf.sh
    • Every : you can choose anything you want, every days, every month or even every minutes ! Config backup won't be kept if no changes are detected...

Notes :

You must have a backup/send folder along with saveconf.sh for it to work. If you just clone the repo without changing anything, it should work flawlessly :). Please also note that backup are send unencrypted, this can cause a security issue. I encourage you to encrypt your emails before sending them, see zeyple.
