ZBackup is a backup program that supports fast and reliable backup of large data sets. It uses transfer and compression algorithms that are designed to work well with large data sets and low bandwidth connections.
If you are using NetBSD and want to install ZBackup on your system, just follow the steps below.
Before we can install ZBackup, we need to install some dependencies. Make sure your system is up to date and then run the following command:
pkg_add python37 py37-setuptools
This command will install Python 3.7 and the setuptools package, which are required by ZBackup.
The next step is to download and extract the ZBackup source code. You can do this by running the following command:
fetch http://zbackup.org/downloads/zbackup-1.4.4.tar.gz
tar -xvf zbackup-1.4.4.tar.gz
cd zbackup-1.4.4
This will download the ZBackup source code, extract it and move into the newly created directory.
Now that we have the ZBackup source code, we can build and install it. To do this, run the following commands:
python3.7 setup.py build
python3.7 setup.py install
This will build and install ZBackup on your system. By default, ZBackup will be installed in /usr/local/bin. You can check that ZBackup is installed correctly by running the following command:
zbackup --help
This will display the help text for ZBackup.
That's it! You have successfully installed ZBackup on your NetBSD system. You can now use ZBackup to backup and restore large data sets with confidence.
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!
