ZBackup is an open-source, robust backup tool. With ZBackup, you can backup your data, including files, directories, and databases, and encrypt them for maximum security. This tutorial will guide you through the installation of ZBackup on EndeavourOS.
Before installing ZBackup, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Before installing any new software, it's essential to update the system packages to their latest versions. Open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update the system packages to their latest versions. Type "Y" when prompted and hit Enter to continue.
After updating the system packages, we're now ready to install ZBackup. By default, ZBackup is not available in the EndeavourOS repository, so we need to add the AUR (Arch User Repository) to the system before installing it. To do that, we need to install the AUR helper tool yay. Open the terminal and execute the following command to install yay:
sudo pacman -S yay
After installing yay, run the following command to install ZBackup:
yay -S zbackup-git
The installation will start, and you will be prompted to confirm the installation. Type "Y" and hit Enter to proceed.
The installation process should not take too long, depending on your system and internet connection. After the installation is complete, you can verify the installation by running the following command:
zbackup --help
This command should display the help menu for ZBackup, which indicates that ZBackup is working correctly.
We have successfully installed ZBackup on EndeavourOS Latest. We highly recommend that you read the ZBackup documentation to learn about the commands and options you can use with this tool. With ZBackup, you can backup your data and encrypt it for maximum security. Happy backup!
