UrBackup is a powerful open-source backup client/server software that enables you to backup your files, folders, and system images on Windows, Linux, and MacOS. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing UrBackup on Debian Latest.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to update the system to ensure that we have the latest packages and security patches installed. Start by opening a terminal and running the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Enter your password if prompted, and wait for the process to complete.
Next, we need to install the dependencies required by UrBackup. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev libcrypto++-dev zlib1g-dev cmake make g++ pkg-config uuid-dev libfuse-dev sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
Enter your password if prompted, and wait for the process to complete.
Now it's time to download and install UrBackup. Start by visiting the UrBackup website and selecting the appropriate Debian package for your system.
Once you have downloaded the package, navigate to the directory where it's located using the terminal and run the following command to install it:
sudo dpkg -i urbackup-server_X.X.X.X_amd64.deb
Replace X.X.X.X with the version number of the package you downloaded.
After installing UrBackup, we need to configure it to suit our needs. Start by opening the configuration file using the command:
sudo nano /etc/default/urbackup-server
Here, you can configure options such as the location of backups, the port number, and the maximum number of clients.
Once you have made your changes, save and close the file using Ctrl+X, then Y and Enter.
Finally, we need to start and enable the UrBackup service. Run the following commands in the terminal:
sudo systemctl start urbackup-server
sudo systemctl enable urbackup-server
This will start the service and enable it to start at boot time.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install UrBackup on Debian Latest. You can now use UrBackup to backup your files, folders, and system images easily and efficiently.
