Debian: create backup - how it works

For security reasons, you should regularly create a backup on your Linux Debian. In this practical tip, we will show you exactly how to do this.

Create backup under Debian - so the data backup works

1. First open the terminal on your Debian.
2. Use the command "pv -s250GB -cN" sda "" to backup your data on Debian. Replace the 250GB with the actual size of the hard drive.
3. Also enter the folder you want to back up.
4. In addition, you must specify in the command in which folder you want to create the backup.
5. In our example, the hard drive is 250GB and we back up the folder "/ dev / chip /" under "/ mnt / backup / SicherheitChip".
6. Use: "pv -s250GB -cN" sda "/ dev / Chip> / mnt / backup / Chip _sda-`date -I`.img"
