How to set it up in a simple manner?

[tiotrom]

Since ynh is meant to make thinks much easier, is Bog a simple backup solution? I have a 1.4TB server with Debian. I have root access. I have ynh installed. Say I buy another server of 1.4TB, same setup. So, Server A and Server B. I install ynh on this server B and install ynh server. Now I setup the two. So that server A backups to server B, via that Borg and Borg Server panels in ynh.

So far I understood it correctly?

If so, how would a restore look like? Say I want to restore server A as it was a week ago? How is that going to be?

I am struggling to find an easy solution to backup my server. Thanks

Currently, i have no better way than https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/borg_ynh#how-to-restore-a-complete-system

I am only now looking more robustly into this and testing. I managed to do it and create backups to borgbase for example, but compared to yunohost's mission of making things "clickable" and easy, this is still difficult. On desktop something like Vorta makes borg backups super easy. Would be fantastic to be able to easily setup everything from a config panel and manage the backups and restores from there. Is this something you aspire about creating? Just curious. And thanks for your work!

You can close this issue. I do not have access to the other tiotrom account anymore....

I believe that the point is that opening up the repo and getting ready to dove into the documentation to set everything up, but stumbling upon:

⚠️ NB. : This doc is partially obsolete and should be reworked! ⚠️

is very, very discouraging and it makes me think “ok, let us wait for the documentation to be reworked!”

Still, it is like this since at least 10 months.

The setup is not that complicated from my perspective. But I have only set it up for borgbase.com. Not for a self hosted borg... I did not follow that guide at all.
