EASY Open Source Backups - Fully Encrypted with Duplicati

Today what we're going to be doing is Today what we're going to be doing is talking about a backup solution that I talking about a backup solution that I talking about a backup solution that I started using and I quite enjoy. started using and I quite enjoy. started using and I quite enjoy. Specifically here we have Duplicati. I Specifically here we have Duplicati. I Specifically here we have Duplicati. I think this is an open source solution think this is an open source solution think this is an open source solution that allows you to create encrypted that allows you to create encrypted that allows you to create encrypted backups whether if it's local or backups whether if it's local or backups whether if it's local or somewhere in the cloud. And one of the somewhere in the cloud. And one of the somewhere in the cloud. And one of the primary reasons I started using this is primary reasons I started using this is primary reasons I started using this is I have the absolute disfortune of paying I have the absolute disfortune of paying I have the absolute disfortune of paying for a Google subscription specifically for a Google subscription specifically for a Google subscription specifically uh workspaces here. I have to use it for uh workspaces here. I have to use it for uh workspaces here. I have to use it for business and I have this weird thing business and I have this weird thing business and I have this weird thing where I don't like to upload my data, where I don't like to upload my data, where I don't like to upload my data, especially my files, images, things like especially my files, images, things like especially my files, images, things like that into these cloud platforms. But you that into these cloud platforms. But you that into these cloud platforms. But you can see I got four terabytes here and can see I got four terabytes here and can see I got four terabytes here and I've started using some of it mostly I've started using some of it mostly I've started using some of it mostly because this is what the data looks because this is what the data looks because this is what the data looks like. If I open up my duplicati folder, like. If I open up my duplicati folder, like. If I open up my duplicati folder, you can see I have NexCloud and image you can see I have NexCloud and image you can see I have NexCloud and image backups in here. If I open up image for backups in here. If I open up image for backups in here. If I open up image for example, uh this this is all I get. So, example, uh this this is all I get. So, example, uh this this is all I get. So, just a bunch of password encrypted zip just a bunch of password encrypted zip just a bunch of password encrypted zip files, blocks of 50 megabytes, files, blocks of 50 megabytes, files, blocks of 50 megabytes, completely hidden and secure from the completely hidden and secure from the completely hidden and secure from the prowling eyes of Google. And the prowling eyes of Google. And the prowling eyes of Google. And the beautiful thing is it's really, really beautiful thing is it's really, really beautiful thing is it's really, really easy to set up and get going. I'm going easy to set up and get going. I'm going easy to set up and get going. I'm going to show you all that, including some of to show you all that, including some of to show you all that, including some of the things that I don't necessarily love the things that I don't necessarily love the things that I don't necessarily love about the product right after today's about the product right after today's about the product right after today's sponsor, and that is the Mova V50 Ultra sponsor, and that is the Mova V50 Ultra sponsor, and that is the Mova V50 Ultra Complete Robot Vacuum. As somebody who Complete Robot Vacuum. As somebody who Complete Robot Vacuum. As somebody who is a bit lazy when it comes to household is a bit lazy when it comes to household is a bit lazy when it comes to household stuff, I love these things, especially stuff, I love these things, especially stuff, I love these things, especially when they can mop and vacuum at the same when they can mop and vacuum at the same when they can mop and vacuum at the same time, and especially when they actually time, and especially when they actually time, and especially when they actually do it well. I've been using one of the do it well. I've been using one of the do it well. I've been using one of the higherend Eovac. And even though this higherend Eovac. And even though this higherend Eovac. And even though this thing is a bit cheaper, I do like it thing is a bit cheaper, I do like it thing is a bit cheaper, I do like it better. And there's a couple of reasons.

better. And there's a couple of reasons. better. And there's a couple of reasons. One, and it seemed really cool at first, One, and it seemed really cool at first, One, and it seemed really cool at first, the Eovax has a roller that kind of the Eovax has a roller that kind of the Eovax has a roller that kind of squeegees the water off of it. Turns out squeegees the water off of it. Turns out squeegees the water off of it. Turns out the little tray in that thing gets the little tray in that thing gets the little tray in that thing gets clogged up quite a bit. So now I kind of clogged up quite a bit. So now I kind of clogged up quite a bit. So now I kind of prefer the two rotating mop pads. And a prefer the two rotating mop pads. And a prefer the two rotating mop pads. And a real cool thing about this is they're real cool thing about this is they're real cool thing about this is they're magnetic. So if you send it to go vacuum magnetic. So if you send it to go vacuum magnetic. So if you send it to go vacuum somewhere and not mop, it will actually somewhere and not mop, it will actually somewhere and not mop, it will actually just leave them in the station. Of just leave them in the station. Of just leave them in the station. Of course, I have to leave the mop pads course, I have to leave the mop pads course, I have to leave the mop pads behind, it can lift it up. So if it behind, it can lift it up. So if it behind, it can lift it up. So if it needs to go over a rug or something, it needs to go over a rug or something, it needs to go over a rug or something, it will do that all automatically. The will do that all automatically. The will do that all automatically. The actual wheels can lift up quite a bit. actual wheels can lift up quite a bit. actual wheels can lift up quite a bit. So when it's going to go vacuum So when it's going to go vacuum So when it's going to go vacuum somewhere, if there's a small ledge or somewhere, if there's a small ledge or somewhere, if there's a small ledge or something or a little divider that it something or a little divider that it something or a little divider that it needs to get over, it can do that needs to get over, it can do that needs to get over, it can do that easily. It's short at under 90 mm, so easily. It's short at under 90 mm, so easily. It's short at under 90 mm, so get under things. The little camera get under things. The little camera get under things. The little camera actually goes down and retracts when it actually goes down and retracts when it actually goes down and retracts when it needs to go under a couch or something. needs to go under a couch or something. needs to go under a couch or something. The little side brush can fan out a The little side brush can fan out a The little side brush can fan out a little bit to get corners better. And little bit to get corners better. And little bit to get corners better. And something that was actually pretty cool something that was actually pretty cool something that was actually pretty cool with the Eovax is that roller mop can with the Eovax is that roller mop can with the Eovax is that roller mop can actually swivel out and get the edges. actually swivel out and get the edges. actually swivel out and get the edges. This one can too. It actually can move This one can too. It actually can move This one can too. It actually can move the mop pad out a little bit to do the the mop pad out a little bit to do the the mop pad out a little bit to do the same exact thing. The suction is very same exact thing. The suction is very same exact thing. The suction is very powerful. They even have a supermax mode powerful. They even have a supermax mode powerful. They even have a supermax mode that you could go ahead and use. And that you could go ahead and use. And that you could go ahead and use. And honestly, out of everything, the thing honestly, out of everything, the thing honestly, out of everything, the thing that really stood out to me, and this is that really stood out to me, and this is that really stood out to me, and this is the first time I've seen this, is the the first time I've seen this, is the the first time I've seen this, is the fact it has two of the vacuum brush fact it has two of the vacuum brush fact it has two of the vacuum brush rollers. So everything's getting double rollers. So everything's getting double rollers. So everything's getting double brushed and it sucks in this way. So, I brushed and it sucks in this way. So, I brushed and it sucks in this way. So, I really haven't noticed any tangles at really haven't noticed any tangles at really haven't noticed any tangles at all. And I got women in this house.

all. And I got women in this house. all. And I got women in this house. Another thing that was kind of cool Another thing that was kind of cool Another thing that was kind of cool versus the Eovax is both of them have a versus the Eovax is both of them have a versus the Eovax is both of them have a way to put in a solution. So, some kind way to put in a solution. So, some kind way to put in a solution. So, some kind of cleaning product. The Eovax is one of cleaning product. The Eovax is one of cleaning product. The Eovax is one tank for one solution. This one has two. tank for one solution. This one has two. tank for one solution. This one has two. So, you can put in an all-purpose So, you can put in an all-purpose So, you can put in an all-purpose cleaner and then a specialty one for cleaner and then a specialty one for cleaner and then a specialty one for hardwood floors or like pet specific hardwood floors or like pet specific hardwood floors or like pet specific cleaners. So, that's really cool. Just cleaners. So, that's really cool. Just cleaners. So, that's really cool. Just overall, I'm incredibly happy with it. overall, I'm incredibly happy with it. overall, I'm incredibly happy with it. If you are in the market for something If you are in the market for something If you are in the market for something like this, this is definitely one worth like this, this is definitely one worth like this, this is definitely one worth checking out. And if you want to check checking out. And if you want to check checking out. And if you want to check out this one, do check out my link down out this one, do check out my link down out this one, do check out my link down below to go ahead and learn more. So below to go ahead and learn more. So below to go ahead and learn more. So getting into it, my main instance that I getting into it, my main instance that I getting into it, my main instance that I have right here is installed via Unrade have right here is installed via Unrade have right here is installed via Unrade just using Docker. So if I go over here just using Docker. So if I go over here just using Docker. So if I go over here to Docker, you can see that I have it to Docker, you can see that I have it to Docker, you can see that I have it right here. If I click on this, just right here. If I click on this, just right here. If I click on this, just kind of show you my settings. It does kind of show you my settings. It does kind of show you my settings. It does run on the port 8200. I'm not going to run on the port 8200. I'm not going to run on the port 8200. I'm not going to go over the full setup. It's a do I'll go over the full setup. It's a do I'll go over the full setup. It's a do I'll put a Docker compose down below making put a Docker compose down below making put a Docker compose down below making it nice and easy for you. We have the it nice and easy for you. We have the it nice and easy for you. We have the path for the backups which I created a path for the backups which I created a path for the backups which I created a whole separate share specifically for whole separate share specifically for whole separate share specifically for that. So eventually I will use this to that. So eventually I will use this to that. So eventually I will use this to kind of move data in between these kind of move data in between these kind of move data in between these different pools that I have. And then we different pools that I have. And then we different pools that I have. And then we have the source. This source path just have the source. This source path just have the source. This source path just points to basically the root of all my points to basically the root of all my points to basically the root of all my shares. So I could see just about shares. So I could see just about shares. So I could see just about anything. So I could select particular anything. So I could select particular anything. So I could select particular folders and things to actually back them folders and things to actually back them folders and things to actually back them up. We have an encryption key, some up. We have an encryption key, some up. We have an encryption key, some additional stuff, our web service additional stuff, our web service additional stuff, our web service password, and that's really about it.

password, and that's really about it. password, and that's really about it. When you spin it up, you're going to get When you spin it up, you're going to get When you spin it up, you're going to get something that looks a little bit like something that looks a little bit like something that looks a little bit like this. Granted, you won't have any this. Granted, you won't have any this. Granted, you won't have any backups here from the get-go. And you backups here from the get-go. And you backups here from the get-go. And you can see right now, these are my two kind can see right now, these are my two kind can see right now, these are my two kind of cloud backups, which are completely of cloud backups, which are completely of cloud backups, which are completely encrypted for things that are super encrypted for things that are super encrypted for things that are super important to me, including image, which important to me, including image, which important to me, including image, which is all my photos, and next cloud, which is all my photos, and next cloud, which is all my photos, and next cloud, which is really important data, mostly is really important data, mostly is really important data, mostly consisting of like files, documents, consisting of like files, documents, consisting of like files, documents, things that I don't really categorize things that I don't really categorize things that I don't really categorize into uh my media shares. And overall, into uh my media shares. And overall, into uh my media shares. And overall, the UI is really nice, too. If I go over the UI is really nice, too. If I go over the UI is really nice, too. If I go over here and I do use old UI the first time here and I do use old UI the first time here and I do use old UI the first time I saw it, it looked a little bit I saw it, it looked a little bit I saw it, it looked a little bit something. Uh-oh. It looked a little bit something. Uh-oh. It looked a little bit something. Uh-oh. It looked a little bit something like this. I was not a fan. I something like this. I was not a fan. I something like this. I was not a fan. I kind of just looked over it. It wasn't kind of just looked over it. It wasn't kind of just looked over it. It wasn't that big of a deal to me. Granted, it's that big of a deal to me. Granted, it's that big of a deal to me. Granted, it's a great tool. Let's go ahead and click a great tool. Let's go ahead and click a great tool. Let's go ahead and click new UI. Go back to this. Overall, this new UI. Go back to this. Overall, this new UI. Go back to this. Overall, this just looks a lot cleaner. Looks a lot just looks a lot cleaner. Looks a lot just looks a lot cleaner. Looks a lot better to me. But now for the better to me. But now for the better to me. But now for the functionality. Again, I have some functionality. Again, I have some functionality. Again, I have some backups here. So, I can start the backup backups here. So, I can start the backup backups here. So, I can start the backup right now. So, if I did a bulk upload of right now. So, if I did a bulk upload of right now. So, if I did a bulk upload of things and I wanted it to be immediately things and I wanted it to be immediately things and I wanted it to be immediately backed up, I could click that. If I backed up, I could click that. If I backed up, I could click that. If I click this little pencil icon. This will click this little pencil icon. This will click this little pencil icon. This will run us through kind of the initial setup run us through kind of the initial setup run us through kind of the initial setup that I did for this specific instance.

that I did for this specific instance. that I did for this specific instance. So you create your backup name. For me, So you create your backup name. For me, So you create your backup name. For me, this is image backup. From there, you this is image backup. From there, you this is image backup. From there, you can go continue and you can pick your can go continue and you can pick your can go continue and you can pick your backup destination. For this, I just did backup destination. For this, I just did backup destination. For this, I just did Google Drive. You do a simple sign on Google Drive. You do a simple sign on Google Drive. You do a simple sign on and it links up pretty quick. You don't and it links up pretty quick. You don't and it links up pretty quick. You don't need to generate API keys or anything need to generate API keys or anything need to generate API keys or anything like that, which is nice. It'll like that, which is nice. It'll like that, which is nice. It'll automatically fill in this OD for the automatically fill in this OD for the automatically fill in this OD for the path. you as you saw when I was kind of path. you as you saw when I was kind of path. you as you saw when I was kind of going through it earlier I have going through it earlier I have going through it earlier I have duplicati image and that's where duplicati image and that's where duplicati image and that's where everything will go. So if I continue everything will go. So if I continue everything will go. So if I continue this is where you pick your source data this is where you pick your source data this is where you pick your source data so mine is going to be under images so mine is going to be under images so mine is going to be under images which is my images share and library. So which is my images share and library. So which is my images share and library. So it's just that specific organized it's just that specific organized it's just that specific organized structure of how image handles those structure of how image handles those structure of how image handles those backups. There are filters. There's backups. There are filters. There's backups. There are filters. There's exclude options. So temporary files, you exclude options. So temporary files, you exclude options. So temporary files, you can exclude some things. And over here can exclude some things. And over here can exclude some things. And over here under source data, again, this is that under source data, again, this is that under source data, again, this is that source mount. So I can see just about source mount. So I can see just about source mount. So I can see just about everything going on, especially if I go everything going on, especially if I go everything going on, especially if I go here under source, I can see all my here under source, I can see all my here under source, I can see all my shares there. So I can change that as shares there. So I can change that as shares there. So I can change that as need be. Continue. We have our schedule. need be. Continue. We have our schedule. need be. Continue. We have our schedule. So I have this run every day at 11 p.m.

So I have this run every day at 11 p.m. So I have this run every day at 11 p.m. And then next, we will have options. So And then next, we will have options. So And then next, we will have options. So my size for each individual file is my size for each individual file is my size for each individual file is going to be 50 megabytes. So there's going to be 50 megabytes. So there's going to be 50 megabytes. So there's quite a few of them. You can customize quite a few of them. You can customize quite a few of them. You can customize the actual retention, but I just keep it the actual retention, but I just keep it the actual retention, but I just keep it on the smart backup retention for now, on the smart backup retention for now, on the smart backup retention for now, which is one every seven days, one a which is one every seven days, one a which is one every seven days, one a week for four weeks, and then one a week for four weeks, and then one a week for four weeks, and then one a month for 12 months, which this seems month for 12 months, which this seems month for 12 months, which this seems pretty good to me. And then we do have pretty good to me. And then we do have pretty good to me. And then we do have some advanced options if that is some advanced options if that is some advanced options if that is something you want to do. So, you can something you want to do. So, you can something you want to do. So, you can get real nitty-gritty on how you have get real nitty-gritty on how you have get real nitty-gritty on how you have all this set up. If I hit submit, there all this set up. If I hit submit, there all this set up. If I hit submit, there we go. That is my backup. And then an we go. That is my backup. And then an we go. That is my backup. And then an important thing is actually being able important thing is actually being able important thing is actually being able to restore that data. So, to do that, to restore that data. So, to do that, to restore that data. So, to do that, all I do go up here, restore, hit start. all I do go up here, restore, hit start. all I do go up here, restore, hit start. So I'd pick the specific thing that I So I'd pick the specific thing that I So I'd pick the specific thing that I want to restore from. So for example, in want to restore from. So for example, in want to restore from. So for example, in this next cloud backup, if I go restore, this next cloud backup, if I go restore, this next cloud backup, if I go restore, it's going to load the files that are it's going to load the files that are it's going to load the files that are available to me. And we can see the available to me. And we can see the available to me. And we can see the specific backup. And actually, as you specific backup. And actually, as you specific backup. And actually, as you can see here, this latest backup is 263, can see here, this latest backup is 263, can see here, this latest backup is 263, but if we look a couple days ago, it was but if we look a couple days ago, it was but if we look a couple days ago, it was 262. So I added just a little bit of 262. So I added just a little bit of 262. So I added just a little bit of data there. And it didn't create a whole data there. And it didn't create a whole data there. And it didn't create a whole new separate backup of 260 gigs. it just new separate backup of 260 gigs. it just new separate backup of 260 gigs. it just uploads the file differences between the uploads the file differences between the uploads the file differences between the backups so it doesn't take up a absolute backups so it doesn't take up a absolute backups so it doesn't take up a absolute crazy amount of space if you do run crazy amount of space if you do run crazy amount of space if you do run daily backups. But if I do select the daily backups. But if I do select the daily backups. But if I do select the latest one, I could go into our files latest one, I could go into our files latest one, I could go into our files here and then right here we have the MOO here and then right here we have the MOO here and then right here we have the MOO ad for this video specifically. And then ad for this video specifically. And then ad for this video specifically. And then if I wanted to, I can go ahead and grab if I wanted to, I can go ahead and grab if I wanted to, I can go ahead and grab the demo footage for example. Click the demo footage for example. Click the demo footage for example. Click continue. And then we have our restore continue. And then we have our restore continue. And then we have our restore options. So I can restore it to a options. So I can restore it to a options. So I can restore it to a specific location back onto the server specific location back onto the server specific location back onto the server or if I pick location I can restore it

or if I pick location I can restore it or if I pick location I can restore it somewhere else on my NAS. So for example somewhere else on my NAS. So for example somewhere else on my NAS. So for example if I go to source and just for this if I go to source and just for this if I go to source and just for this let's say I just threw it right into my let's say I just threw it right into my let's say I just threw it right into my app data directory. I hit submit and app data directory. I hit submit and app data directory. I hit submit and there we go the restore pro or restore there we go the restore pro or restore there we go the restore pro or restore task is now in progress. And it does task is now in progress. And it does task is now in progress. And it does take it a little bit of time because it take it a little bit of time because it take it a little bit of time because it does have to actually pull from the does have to actually pull from the does have to actually pull from the cloud extract multiple zip files rebuild cloud extract multiple zip files rebuild cloud extract multiple zip files rebuild it and all that. So depending on the it and all that. So depending on the it and all that. So depending on the actual file size, it might take it a actual file size, it might take it a actual file size, it might take it a minute. You can see we got about 60 minute. You can see we got about 60 minute. You can see we got about 60 megabytes to go. We can see our logs megabytes to go. We can see our logs megabytes to go. We can see our logs here. So we have a bunch of these uh uh here. So we have a bunch of these uh uh here. So we have a bunch of these uh uh get commands running. And if I drop one get commands running. And if I drop one get commands running. And if I drop one down, you can say get completed. Got the down, you can say get completed. Got the down, you can say get completed. Got the exact block that it needed. And there it exact block that it needed. And there it exact block that it needed. And there it goes. So it is done. So if I went and goes. So it is done. So if I went and goes. So it is done. So if I went and check that out, for example, if I go check that out, for example, if I go check that out, for example, if I go over to my shares into app data, we can over to my shares into app data, we can over to my shares into app data, we can see right there the file has been backed see right there the file has been backed see right there the file has been backed up. If I open it up, there we go. Sweet up. If I open it up, there we go. Sweet up. If I open it up, there we go. Sweet deal. So now what I'm going to do is I'm deal. So now what I'm going to do is I'm deal. So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to talk about the console. Now going to talk about the console. Now going to talk about the console. Now this is very cool. I do wish I this is very cool. I do wish I this is very cool. I do wish I absolutely wish that this was something absolutely wish that this was something absolutely wish that this was something that was self-hostable. It's a business.

that was self-hostable. It's a business. that was self-hostable. It's a business. They got to make money. They got to lock They got to make money. They got to lock They got to make money. They got to lock down features. I understand. But if I down features. I understand. But if I down features. I understand. But if I could self-host this, that would be it could self-host this, that would be it could self-host this, that would be it would make this a top tier tool. This is would make this a top tier tool. This is would make this a top tier tool. This is on the cloud. And basically what is on the cloud. And basically what is on the cloud. And basically what is actually going on here is this instance actually going on here is this instance actually going on here is this instance is installed on Unrade and I can't is installed on Unrade and I can't is installed on Unrade and I can't really use this to manage other really use this to manage other really use this to manage other machines. For every single machine I machines. For every single machine I machines. For every single machine I have I need to have a separate instance have I need to have a separate instance have I need to have a separate instance of Duplicati installed onto it including of Duplicati installed onto it including of Duplicati installed onto it including desktop computers things like that and desktop computers things like that and desktop computers things like that and have them kind of manage their own have them kind of manage their own have them kind of manage their own backups. And then from there I could use backups. And then from there I could use backups. And then from there I could use kind of their cloud dashboard here to kind of their cloud dashboard here to kind of their cloud dashboard here to link all the machines together and link all the machines together and link all the machines together and actually view them and manage them this actually view them and manage them this actually view them and manage them this way. So you can see right now I have one way. So you can see right now I have one way. So you can see right now I have one total machine with 14 backups. If I go total machine with 14 backups. If I go total machine with 14 backups. If I go over here to machines, you could see the over here to machines, you could see the over here to machines, you could see the one unrade machine that I have online one unrade machine that I have online one unrade machine that I have online bunch of info. Overall, it's some pretty bunch of info. Overall, it's some pretty bunch of info. Overall, it's some pretty cool stuff. Now it says I want a trial cool stuff. Now it says I want a trial cool stuff. Now it says I want a trial here. I think they did that here. I think they did that here. I think they did that automatically. So if I go to their automatically. So if I go to their automatically. So if I go to their website and go to pricing, we can see it website and go to pricing, we can see it website and go to pricing, we can see it is free for five machines. So you can is free for five machines. So you can is free for five machines. So you can use their cloud version on five use their cloud version on five use their cloud version on five machines. Of course, you don't have to machines. Of course, you don't have to machines. Of course, you don't have to use their cloud thing, but it is free up use their cloud thing, but it is free up use their cloud thing, but it is free up to five. So that's pretty cool. And then to five. So that's pretty cool. And then to five. So that's pretty cool. And then if you have a business, you got to make if you have a business, you got to make if you have a business, you got to make some money. So there there are options some money. So there there are options some money. So there there are options in that regard. Now, when I first in that regard. Now, when I first in that regard. Now, when I first started checking this out, I thought started checking this out, I thought started checking this out, I thought that it would be kind of like I install that it would be kind of like I install that it would be kind of like I install it on Unrade and then there's like it on Unrade and then there's like it on Unrade and then there's like client side applications that I can client side applications that I can client side applications that I can install on like my desktop computer and install on like my desktop computer and install on like my desktop computer and things like that and just have it work things like that and just have it work things like that and just have it work that way. Kind of similar to NexCloud in that way. Kind of similar to NexCloud in that way. Kind of similar to NexCloud in a way, but that's not really the case.

a way, but that's not really the case. a way, but that's not really the case. So for example, I'm on Mac OS right now. So for example, I'm on Mac OS right now. So for example, I'm on Mac OS right now. Don't judge me. And I want to install Don't judge me. And I want to install Don't judge me. And I want to install this. I want to back up self-host back this. I want to back up self-host back this. I want to back up self-host back up my own stuff from Mac OS onto either up my own stuff from Mac OS onto either up my own stuff from Mac OS onto either let's say my unread machine Google cloud let's say my unread machine Google cloud let's say my unread machine Google cloud something. What I would do is I would something. What I would do is I would something. What I would do is I would head over to platform and I would go head over to platform and I would go head over to platform and I would go over to downloads. I would download this over to downloads. I would download this over to downloads. I would download this for Mac OS and then when I install the for Mac OS and then when I install the for Mac OS and then when I install the application here and then actually fire application here and then actually fire application here and then actually fire it up. We're going to hit open. it up. We're going to hit open. it up. We're going to hit open. Basically what it's going to do here is Basically what it's going to do here is Basically what it's going to do here is fire up here. If I go open, it's going fire up here. If I go open, it's going fire up here. If I go open, it's going to open up a new web browser in a new to open up a new web browser in a new to open up a new web browser in a new blank instance. So completely kind of blank instance. So completely kind of blank instance. So completely kind of separated from everything unless if I go separated from everything unless if I go separated from everything unless if I go ahead and register it. So if I did that, ahead and register it. So if I did that, ahead and register it. So if I did that, I just click to register, finish the I just click to register, finish the I just click to register, finish the connection. Should link up fairly connection. Should link up fairly connection. Should link up fairly automatically, register the machine, go automatically, register the machine, go automatically, register the machine, go to the app, and now you can see I have to the app, and now you can see I have to the app, and now you can see I have two machines. But if I get out of here two machines. But if I get out of here two machines. But if I get out of here and I go back to actually set up a and I go back to actually set up a and I go back to actually set up a backup on the desktop version, I would backup on the desktop version, I would backup on the desktop version, I would go add backup. And it's fairly similar go add backup. And it's fairly similar go add backup. And it's fairly similar process. You can import files. So, if process. You can import files. So, if process. You can import files. So, if you already have a bunch of backups, you you already have a bunch of backups, you you already have a bunch of backups, you can uh export those, save them, so if can uh export those, save them, so if can uh export those, save them, so if something happens, you can make that something happens, you can make that something happens, you can make that real easy. But add a new backup MacBook real easy. But add a new backup MacBook real easy. But add a new backup MacBook backup. And this is my home directory to backup. And this is my home directory to backup. And this is my home directory to drive. And obviously, there's way more drive. And obviously, there's way more drive. And obviously, there's way more than drive. I'll kind of show you that than drive. I'll kind of show you that than drive. I'll kind of show you that in the next step. Here we have a in the next step. Here we have a in the next step. Here we have a password for the actual encryption. So, password for the actual encryption. So, password for the actual encryption. So, we'll set something moderately secure we'll set something moderately secure we'll set something moderately secure and then go continue. We'll hit not now.

and then go continue. We'll hit not now. and then go continue. We'll hit not now. And here are the actual kind of backup And here are the actual kind of backup And here are the actual kind of backup destinations that you could go ahead and destinations that you could go ahead and destinations that you could go ahead and pick from. So we have the file system. pick from. So we have the file system. pick from. So we have the file system. So store onto local. There's Windows So store onto local. There's Windows So store onto local. There's Windows shares, webdab, SSH. I mean the shares, webdab, SSH. I mean the shares, webdab, SSH. I mean the possibilities are up to your possibilities are up to your possibilities are up to your imagination. But again, the point of imagination. But again, the point of imagination. But again, the point of this for me is to use up that cloud this for me is to use up that cloud this for me is to use up that cloud storage that I'm paying for. So we'll go storage that I'm paying for. So we'll go storage that I'm paying for. So we'll go Google Drive. And then for the folder Google Drive. And then for the folder Google Drive. And then for the folder path, this is going to be duplicati. And path, this is going to be duplicati. And path, this is going to be duplicati. And we'll do just MacBook. And then from we'll do just MacBook. And then from we'll do just MacBook. And then from there, we got our O ID. So, we'll just there, we got our O ID. So, we'll just there, we got our O ID. So, we'll just use this to go ahead and sign in and use this to go ahead and sign in and use this to go ahead and sign in and continue there. We're good to go. And continue there. We're good to go. And continue there. We're good to go. And you can see that fill in. So, if I test you can see that fill in. So, if I test you can see that fill in. So, if I test that connection, oh, it's being weird. that connection, oh, it's being weird. that connection, oh, it's being weird. Let's try that again. And it's going to Let's try that again. And it's going to Let's try that again. And it's going to ask me to create that folder. So, we ask me to create that folder. So, we ask me to create that folder. So, we will do so. And there we go. The will do so. And there we go. The will do so. And there we go. The connection successful. So, if we connection successful. So, if we connection successful. So, if we continue from there, I'll go not now. continue from there, I'll go not now. continue from there, I'll go not now. Now, I pick what I actually want to have Now, I pick what I actually want to have Now, I pick what I actually want to have backed up. So, this is our source our backed up. So, this is our source our backed up. So, this is our source our source path. I'll probably just select source path. I'll probably just select source path. I'll probably just select uh well, we're going to need to allow uh well, we're going to need to allow uh well, we're going to need to allow it. Allow it. Oh, we're going to have to it. Allow it. Oh, we're going to have to it. Allow it. Oh, we're going to have to allow everything. Select home. I can see allow everything. Select home. I can see allow everything. Select home. I can see everything we got going on there. So, everything we got going on there. So, everything we got going on there. So, I'll just do the entire home directory.

I'll just do the entire home directory. I'll just do the entire home directory. I think that should be sufficient for I think that should be sufficient for I think that should be sufficient for what I'm trying to back up. So, we'll go what I'm trying to back up. So, we'll go what I'm trying to back up. So, we'll go continue. Um 1 p.m. is probably good. I continue. Um 1 p.m. is probably good. I continue. Um 1 p.m. is probably good. I usually have it up and open around that usually have it up and open around that usually have it up and open around that time. So, we will go continue. And we'll time. So, we will go continue. And we'll time. So, we will go continue. And we'll just keep all the defaults here for just keep all the defaults here for just keep all the defaults here for retention. We'll do the smart retention retention. We'll do the smart retention retention. We'll do the smart retention again and hit submit. So, there we go. again and hit submit. So, there we go. again and hit submit. So, there we go. And then when you start your very first And then when you start your very first And then when you start your very first backup, again, this is from the Mac. You backup, again, this is from the Mac. You backup, again, this is from the Mac. You can see it's that local IP address. I can see it's that local IP address. I can see it's that local IP address. I just click on start and then it's going just click on start and then it's going just click on start and then it's going to go ahead and verifi verify the data to go ahead and verifi verify the data to go ahead and verifi verify the data and start that process. And you can see and start that process. And you can see and start that process. And you can see it's finding all the files. There's it's finding all the files. There's it's finding all the files. There's probably quite a bit on there. It's probably quite a bit on there. It's probably quite a bit on there. It's going to start spamming me if it can going to start spamming me if it can going to start spamming me if it can access things. Oh no, I have nextcloud access things. Oh no, I have nextcloud access things. Oh no, I have nextcloud in there. I'm going to have to edit that in there. I'm going to have to edit that in there. I'm going to have to edit that to not do that here. Stop. Abort. So for to not do that here. Stop. Abort. So for to not do that here. Stop. Abort. So for the source data, instead of selecting the source data, instead of selecting the source data, instead of selecting all the home, I'm going to select the all the home, I'm going to select the all the home, I'm going to select the things that I actually should. So, it's things that I actually should. So, it's things that I actually should. So, it's honestly mostly the things on my desktop honestly mostly the things on my desktop honestly mostly the things on my desktop for this setup that I find myself for this setup that I find myself for this setup that I find myself wanting backups of. So, that honestly wanting backups of. So, that honestly wanting backups of. So, that honestly right there is probably pretty dang right there is probably pretty dang right there is probably pretty dang good, at least for just a nice backup of good, at least for just a nice backup of good, at least for just a nice backup of that. So, we'll continue and we should that. So, we'll continue and we should that. So, we'll continue and we should all be good to go. So, now let's go all be good to go. So, now let's go all be good to go. So, now let's go ahead and uh start that back up ahead and uh start that back up ahead and uh start that back up manually. So, 57 gigs, that's not nearly manually. So, 57 gigs, that's not nearly manually. So, 57 gigs, that's not nearly as bad as it was about to be. Uh not as bad as it was about to be. Uh not as bad as it was about to be. Uh not that quick. So, it's going to take a that quick. So, it's going to take a that quick. So, it's going to take a while. So, I'm just going to let that do while. So, I'm just going to let that do while. So, I'm just going to let that do what it needs to do. And again, if I what it needs to do. And again, if I what it needs to do. And again, if I head on over here, give this a little head on over here, give this a little head on over here, give this a little refresh, we can see I have my two refresh, we can see I have my two refresh, we can see I have my two machines. They're both online. This machines. They're both online. This machines. They're both online. This doesn't have any status because I doesn't have any status because I doesn't have any status because I haven't really backed up anything yet.

haven't really backed up anything yet. haven't really backed up anything yet. And overall, we're we're looking pretty And overall, we're we're looking pretty And overall, we're we're looking pretty good. And this will shoot up a little good. And this will shoot up a little good. And this will shoot up a little bit once that computer backup finishes. bit once that computer backup finishes. bit once that computer backup finishes. But yeah, that is my current kind of But yeah, that is my current kind of But yeah, that is my current kind of cloud backup solution. I don't like cloud backup solution. I don't like cloud backup solution. I don't like using the cloud, but I'm paying for some using the cloud, but I'm paying for some using the cloud, but I'm paying for some of it, so I might as well at least of it, so I might as well at least of it, so I might as well at least upload encrypted data to it. Pretty soon upload encrypted data to it. Pretty soon upload encrypted data to it. Pretty soon I'm going to work on a video for my full I'm going to work on a video for my full I'm going to work on a video for my full actual off-site backup solution. I got a actual off-site backup solution. I got a actual off-site backup solution. I got a little Naz that I'm going to throw just little Naz that I'm going to throw just little Naz that I'm going to throw just Proxmox backup server, just bare metal. Proxmox backup server, just bare metal. Proxmox backup server, just bare metal. Have that at a family member's house and Have that at a family member's house and Have that at a family member's house and that's going to be my future backup that's going to be my future backup that's going to be my future backup solution. So if you want a full video on solution. So if you want a full video on solution. So if you want a full video on that, do let me know down below. And that, do let me know down below. And that, do let me know down below. And with all that, I do hope you have an with all that, I do hope you have an with all that, I do hope you have an absolutely beautiful day.
