๐พ Creating Backup Scripts in Alpine Linux: Simple Guide
Creating backup scripts is like making safety copies of your treasures! ๐ Letโs learn how to protect your data in Alpine Linux. Itโs easier than you think! ๐
๐ค What are Backup Scripts?
Backup scripts are like automatic copy machines for your important files! ๐
Think of it like:
- ๐ Making photocopies of important documents
- ๐พ Saving multiple copies of your photos
- ๐ฆ Keeping money in different safe places
On your computer:
- ๐ Backup = Safety copy of your files
- ๐ค Script = Automatic program that does the work
- โฐ Scheduled = Runs automatically at set times
- ๐ Sync = Keeps copies up to date
๐ฏ What You Need
Before we start, you need:
- โ Alpine Linux computer
- โ Files to backup
- โ Storage space (extra disk or folder)
- โ Basic terminal knowledge
Letโs become backup experts! ๐
๐ Step 1: Understanding Backup Basics
Types of Backups
Letโs learn backup strategies! ๐
What weโre doing: Understanding different ways to backup data.
# Create test files to practice with
mkdir -p ~/backup-practice
cd ~/backup-practice
# Create some example files
echo "Important document 1" > document1.txt
echo "Important document 2" > document2.txt
echo "Family photos" > photos.txt
echo "Work project" > project.txt
mkdir personal
echo "Personal diary" > personal/diary.txt
# Check what we created
ls -la
ls -la personal/
echo "Practice files created! ๐"
Backup types explained:
- ๐ Full backup = Copy everything completely
- ๐ Incremental = Copy only new/changed files
- ๐ Differential = Copy changes since last full backup
- ๐ Sync = Make two folders identical
Perfect! You understand backup concepts! ๐
Check Available Space
Letโs see where we can store backups! ๐พ
What weโre doing: Finding suitable locations for backup storage.
# Check available disk space
df -h
# Check home directory usage
du -sh ~
# Create backup storage directory
mkdir -p ~/backups
mkdir -p ~/backups/daily
mkdir -p ~/backups/weekly
# Check backup directory
ls -la ~/backups/
echo "Backup storage ready! ๐๏ธ"
Storage tips:
- ๐พ Need enough space for copies
- ๐ Organize by date or type
- ๐ Consider external storage for safety
- ๐ Cloud storage for off-site backups
Great! You prepared backup storage! ๐ฏ
๐ ๏ธ Step 2: Simple Backup Scripts
Create Basic Copy Script
Letโs make our first backup script! ๐
What weโre doing: Creating a simple script to copy important files.
# Create basic backup script
cat > ~/simple-backup.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
# Simple backup script
# Set backup date
BACKUP_DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
BACKUP_DIR="$HOME/backups/daily"
SOURCE_DIR="$HOME/backup-practice"
echo "๐ Starting backup at $(date)"
# Create backup folder with date
mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR/backup_$BACKUP_DATE"
# Copy files
echo "๐ Copying files..."
cp -r "$SOURCE_DIR"/* "$BACKUP_DIR/backup_$BACKUP_DATE/"
# Check if backup worked
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "โ
Backup completed successfully!"
echo "๐ Backup saved to: $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$BACKUP_DATE"
else
echo "โ Backup failed!"
fi
echo "๐ Backup finished at $(date)"
EOF
# Make script executable
chmod +x ~/simple-backup.sh
# Test the script
~/simple-backup.sh
What this does: ๐ Creates and runs a basic backup script.
Script features:
- ๐ Adds date/time to backup names
- ๐ Copies all files recursively
- โ Checks if backup succeeded
- ๐ Shows progress messages
Example output:
๐ Starting backup at Fri May 30 03:00:15 UTC 2025
๐ Copying files...
โ
Backup completed successfully!
๐ Backup saved to: /home/user/backups/daily/backup_20250530_030015
๐ Backup finished at Fri May 30 03:00:16 UTC 2025
Amazing! You created your first backup script! ๐
Create Selective Backup
Letโs backup only specific files! ๐ฏ
What weโre doing: Creating a script that backs up only certain file types.
# Create selective backup script
cat > ~/selective-backup.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
# Selective backup script - only important files
BACKUP_DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
BACKUP_DIR="$HOME/backups/weekly"
SOURCE_DIR="$HOME"
echo "๐ Starting selective backup at $(date)"
# Create backup directory
mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR/selective_$BACKUP_DATE"
echo "๐ Backing up text documents..."
find "$SOURCE_DIR" -name "*.txt" -exec cp {} "$BACKUP_DIR/selective_$BACKUP_DATE/" \; 2>/dev/null
echo "๐ Backing up spreadsheets..."
find "$SOURCE_DIR" -name "*.csv" -exec cp {} "$BACKUP_DIR/selective_$BACKUP_DATE/" \; 2>/dev/null
echo "๐ Backing up documents..."
find "$SOURCE_DIR" -name "*.pdf" -exec cp {} "$BACKUP_DIR/selective_$BACKUP_DATE/" \; 2>/dev/null
echo "๐ง Backing up scripts..."
find "$SOURCE_DIR" -name "*.sh" -exec cp {} "$BACKUP_DIR/selective_$BACKUP_DATE/" \; 2>/dev/null
# Count backed up files
FILE_COUNT=$(ls "$BACKUP_DIR/selective_$BACKUP_DATE/" | wc -l)
echo "โ
Selective backup completed!"
echo "๐ Files backed up: $FILE_COUNT"
echo "๐ Location: $BACKUP_DIR/selective_$BACKUP_DATE"
echo "๐ Selective backup finished at $(date)"
EOF
# Make executable and test
chmod +x ~/selective-backup.sh
~/selective-backup.sh
What this does: ๐ Backs up only specific file types you choose.
Selective benefits:
- ๐พ Saves storage space
- โก Faster backup process
- ๐ฏ Focuses on important files
- ๐ Easy to find specific files
Perfect! You can backup selectively! ๐
๐ Quick Backup Commands
Backup Type | Command | Example |
---|---|---|
๐ Full copy | cp -r source dest | cp -r ~/docs ~/backup/ |
๐ Find & copy | find . -name "*.txt" -exec cp {} backup/ \; | Find all .txt files |
๐ฆ Archive | tar -czf backup.tar.gz folder/ | Create compressed backup |
๐ Sync | rsync -av source/ dest/ | Sync folders |
๐ With date | cp file backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).txt | Add date to filename |
๐๏ธ Step 3: Compressed Backups
Create Archive Backups
Letโs make compressed backups! ๐ฆ
What weโre doing: Creating backup scripts that compress files to save space.
# Create archive backup script
cat > ~/archive-backup.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
# Archive backup script with compression
BACKUP_DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
BACKUP_DIR="$HOME/backups"
SOURCE_DIR="$HOME/backup-practice"
echo "๐ฆ Starting archive backup at $(date)"
# Create compressed backup
echo "๐๏ธ Compressing files..."
tar -czf "$BACKUP_DIR/archive_backup_$BACKUP_DATE.tar.gz" -C "$HOME" backup-practice
# Check if compression worked
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "โ
Archive backup completed!"
# Show file sizes
ORIGINAL_SIZE=$(du -sh "$SOURCE_DIR" | cut -f1)
COMPRESSED_SIZE=$(du -sh "$BACKUP_DIR/archive_backup_$BACKUP_DATE.tar.gz" | cut -f1)
echo "๐ Original size: $ORIGINAL_SIZE"
echo "๐ฆ Compressed size: $COMPRESSED_SIZE"
echo "๐ Archive saved: $BACKUP_DIR/archive_backup_$BACKUP_DATE.tar.gz"
else
echo "โ Archive backup failed!"
fi
echo "๐ Archive backup finished at $(date)"
EOF
# Make executable and test
chmod +x ~/archive-backup.sh
~/archive-backup.sh
What this does: ๐ Creates compressed backup archives that take less space.
Archive benefits:
- ๐พ Much smaller file size
- ๐ฆ Single file for entire backup
- ๐ Faster transfer and storage
- ๐ Better organization
Example output:
๐ฆ Starting archive backup at Fri May 30 03:15:22 UTC 2025
๐๏ธ Compressing files...
โ
Archive backup completed!
๐ Original size: 4.0K
๐ฆ Compressed size: 1.2K
๐ Archive saved: /home/user/backups/archive_backup_20250530_031522.tar.gz
Excellent! You created compressed backups! ๐
Create Incremental Backup
Letโs backup only changes! ๐
What weโre doing: Creating a script that only backs up new or modified files.
# Create incremental backup script
cat > ~/incremental-backup.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
# Incremental backup script
BACKUP_DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
BACKUP_DIR="$HOME/backups/incremental"
SOURCE_DIR="$HOME/backup-practice"
LAST_BACKUP_FILE="$BACKUP_DIR/.last_backup"
echo "๐ Starting incremental backup at $(date)"
# Create backup directory
mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"
# Find files newer than last backup
if [ -f "$LAST_BACKUP_FILE" ]; then
echo "๐ Looking for files newer than last backup..."
find "$SOURCE_DIR" -newer "$LAST_BACKUP_FILE" -type f > /tmp/new_files.txt
NEW_FILES=$(cat /tmp/new_files.txt | wc -l)
echo "๐ Found $NEW_FILES new/modified files"
else
echo "๐ First backup - including all files"
find "$SOURCE_DIR" -type f > /tmp/new_files.txt
NEW_FILES=$(cat /tmp/new_files.txt | wc -l)
fi
if [ $NEW_FILES -gt 0 ]; then
# Create incremental backup archive
echo "๐ฆ Creating incremental backup..."
tar -czf "$BACKUP_DIR/incremental_$BACKUP_DATE.tar.gz" -T /tmp/new_files.txt
echo "โ
Incremental backup completed!"
echo "๐ Files backed up: $NEW_FILES"
echo "๐ Archive: $BACKUP_DIR/incremental_$BACKUP_DATE.tar.gz"
# Update last backup timestamp
touch "$LAST_BACKUP_FILE"
else
echo "โ
No new files to backup!"
fi
# Cleanup
rm -f /tmp/new_files.txt
echo "๐ Incremental backup finished at $(date)"
EOF
# Make executable and test
chmod +x ~/incremental-backup.sh
~/incremental-backup.sh
# Make some changes and test again
echo "New content added" >> ~/backup-practice/document1.txt
echo "Another new file" > ~/backup-practice/new-file.txt
echo ""
echo "Testing incremental backup after changes..."
~/incremental-backup.sh
What this does: ๐ Only backs up files that are new or changed since last backup.
Incremental benefits:
- โก Much faster backup process
- ๐พ Uses minimal storage space
- ๐ Perfect for daily backups
- ๐ Tracks what changed
Perfect! You mastered incremental backups! ๐ฏ
๐ฎ Letโs Practice!
Time for a complete backup system! ๐
What weโre doing: Creating a comprehensive backup solution with multiple strategies.
# Step 1: Create comprehensive backup script
echo "Step 1: Creating master backup script... ๐๏ธ"
cat > ~/master-backup.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
# Master backup script - Complete backup solution
BACKUP_DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
BACKUP_BASE="$HOME/backups"

๐ Master backup completed successfully!
Incredible! You built a complete backup system! ๐
โฐ Step 4: Automated Backups
Schedule with Cron
Letโs make backups automatic! ๐ค
What weโre doing: Setting up automatic backups that run on schedule.
# Install cron if not already installed
sudo apk add cronie
# Start cron service
sudo rc-service crond start
sudo rc-update add crond default
# Create cron backup script
cat > ~/cron-backup.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
# Cron-friendly backup script (no interactive output)
BACKUP_DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
BACKUP_DIR="$HOME/backups/auto"
SOURCE_DIR="$HOME/backup-practice"
LOG_FILE="$HOME/backups/backup.log"
# Create backup directory
mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"
# Log start
echo "$(date): Starting automatic backup" >> "$LOG_FILE"
# Perform backup
tar -czf "$BACKUP_DIR/auto_backup_$BACKUP_DATE.tar.gz" -C "$HOME" backup-practice 2>/dev/null
# Check result and log
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
SIZE=$(du -sh "$BACKUP_DIR/auto_backup_$BACKUP_DATE.tar.gz" | cut -f1)
echo "$(date): Backup successful - Size: $SIZE" >> "$LOG_FILE"
else
echo "$(date): Backup failed!" >> "$LOG_FILE"
fi
# Keep only last 7 backups
cd "$BACKUP_DIR"
ls -t auto_backup_*.tar.gz | tail -n +8 | xargs rm -f 2>/dev/null
echo "$(date): Cleanup completed" >> "$LOG_FILE"
EOF
# Make script executable
chmod +x ~/cron-backup.sh
# Test the script
~/cron-backup.sh
# Check log
echo "Backup log:"
cat ~/backups/backup.log
What this does: ๐ Creates a backup script perfect for automatic scheduling.
Cron-friendly features:
- ๐คซ No interactive output
- ๐ Logs to file instead
- ๐งน Automatic cleanup of old backups
- โก Fast and efficient
Great! You prepared automated backups! โฐ
Set Backup Schedule
Letโs schedule regular backups! ๐
What weโre doing: Setting up automatic backup schedules using cron.
# Create backup schedule
echo "Setting up backup schedules... ๐
"
# Show current cron jobs
echo "Current cron jobs:"
crontab -l 2>/dev/null || echo "No cron jobs found"
# Create new cron schedule
cat > /tmp/backup-cron << 'EOF'
# Backup schedules
# Daily backup at 2 AM
0 2 * * * /home/$(whoami)/cron-backup.sh
# Weekly full backup on Sunday at 3 AM
0 3 * * 0 /home/$(whoami)/master-backup.sh
# Monthly archive on 1st day at 4 AM
0 4 1 * * /home/$(whoami)/archive-backup.sh
EOF
# Install the cron schedule
crontab /tmp/backup-cron
# Show new schedule
echo ""
echo "New backup schedule installed:"
crontab -l
# Clean up
rm /tmp/backup-cron
echo ""
echo "โ
Automatic backup schedule active!"
echo "๐
Daily backups: 2:00 AM"
echo "๐ฆ Weekly backups: 3:00 AM Sunday"
echo "๐๏ธ Monthly archives: 4:00 AM 1st day"
Schedule explained:
0 2 * * *
= Every day at 2:00 AM ๐0 3 * * 0
= Every Sunday at 3:00 AM ๐ฆ0 4 1 * *
= 1st day of month at 4:00 AM ๐๏ธ
Perfect! Your backups are now automatic! ๐ค
๐ Step 5: Backup Verification
Test Backup Integrity
Letโs make sure backups work! ๐งช
What weโre doing: Verifying that backup files can be restored properly.
# Create backup verification script
cat > ~/verify-backup.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
# Backup verification script
echo "๐งช Starting backup verification at $(date)"
BACKUP_DIR="$HOME/backups"
TEST_DIR="/tmp/backup-test"
# Clean test area
rm -rf "$TEST_DIR"
mkdir -p "$TEST_DIR"
echo ""
echo "๐ Testing backup integrity..."
# Find latest backup archive
LATEST_BACKUP=$(ls -t "$BACKUP_DIR"/weekly/weekly_*.tar.gz 2>/dev/null | head -1)
if [ -n "$LATEST_BACKUP" ]; then
echo "๐ Testing: $(basename "$LATEST_BACKUP")"
# Test archive integrity
echo "๐ฆ Checking archive integrity..."
tar -tzf "$LATEST_BACKUP" > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "โ
Archive integrity: GOOD"
# Test extraction
echo "๐ Testing extraction..."
cd "$TEST_DIR"
tar -xzf "$LATEST_BACKUP" 2>/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "โ
Extraction: SUCCESSFUL"
# Count restored files
RESTORED_COUNT=$(find backup-practice -type f | wc -l)
echo "๐ Restored files: $RESTORED_COUNT"
# Verify file content
if [ -f "backup-practice/document1.txt" ]; then
echo "โ
File content verification: PASSED"
else
echo "โ File content verification: FAILED"
fi
else
echo "โ Extraction: FAILED"
fi
else
echo "โ Archive integrity: DAMAGED"
fi
else
echo "โ No backup archives found!"
fi
# Cleanup test area
rm -rf "$TEST_DIR"
echo ""
echo "๐ Backup verification completed at $(date)"
EOF
# Make executable and run
chmod +x ~/verify-backup.sh
~/verify-backup.sh
What this does: ๐ Tests that backup archives are complete and can be restored.
Verification checks:
- ๐ฆ Archive file integrity
- ๐ Extraction capability
- ๐ File count accuracy
- โ Content verification
Excellent! You can verify backup quality! ๐
๐จ Fix Common Problems
Problem 1: โNo space left on deviceโ โ
What happened: Backup storage is full. How to fix it: Clean old backups or add storage.
# Check backup storage usage
du -sh ~/backups/*
# Remove old backups (keep last 5)
cd ~/backups/daily
ls -t backup_* | tail -n +6 | xargs rm -rf
# Compress old archives
find ~/backups -name "*.tar" -exec gzip {} \;
Problem 2: โBackup script failsโ โ
What happened: Script has errors or missing permissions. How to fix it: Check logs and permissions.
# Check script permissions
ls -la ~/backup-scripts/
# Test script manually
bash -x ~/backup-script.sh
# Check backup logs
tail -20 ~/backups/backup.log
Problem 3: โCron job not runningโ โ
What happened: Automatic backups arenโt working. How to fix it: Check cron service and permissions.
# Check if cron is running
rc-service crond status
# Check cron logs
sudo tail -20 /var/log/cron
# Verify cron schedule
crontab -l
Donโt worry! Backup problems are fixable! ๐ช
๐ก Simple Tips
- Test backups regularly ๐งช - Verify they can be restored
