Install UrBackup server from sources
-
Download the UrBackup Server source package
wget https://hndl.urbackup.org/Server/2.5.33/urbackup-server-2.5.33.tar.gz
- Extract the archive (
tar xf urbackup-server-2.5.33.tar.gz
) and navigate into the newly created folder - Run
./configure
andmake
- Run
sudo make install
- Add UrBackup to the system startup. There is no easy, distribution unified way to do this. Thus the
make install
does not do it for you. An init script for Debian and a systemd unit are included. You can install the systemd unit after adjusting the paths inurbackup-server.service
(Change/usr/bin/urbackupsrv
to the output ofwhereis urbackupsrv
):cp urbackup-server.service /etc/systemd/system/ systemctl enable urbackup-server.service cp defaults_server /etc/default/urbackupsrv cp logrotate_urbackupsrv /etc/logrotate.d/urbackupsrv systemctl start urbackup-server
- Browse to http://localhost:55414 and setup an admin user and the backup storage path
If your distribution is not Debian or Debian based you have to either build your own init script or just put /usr/local/sbin/urbackupsrv run -d
into /etc/rc.local
