In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing BorgBackup on a Fedora Server.
BorgBackup is an open-source deduplicating backup program that securely stores and compresses backup data. It is a Python-based tool that supports Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Before starting, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Once you have the above prerequisites, follow the steps below to install BorgBackup.
BorgBackup requires Python3-pip to function correctly. If it is not already installed on your server, install it using the command below:
sudo dnf install python3-pip -y
Once you have installed Python3-pip, you can proceed to install BorgBackup by running the following command:
sudo pip3 install borgbackup
This command installs the latest stable version of BorgBackup from the Python package repositories.
After installing BorgBackup, verify that the installation was successful by running the following command:
borg --version
This command should output the version of BorgBackup installed on your system.
That's it! You have successfully installed BorgBackup on your Fedora Server. You can now use BorgBackup to create automated, secure backups of your important files and data. For more information on how to use BorgBackup, refer to its official documentation on GitHub.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
