I’ve been using OpenWRT on several routers for years and purchased Turris Omnia now.
There is a nice feature in Luci on OpenWRT to select directories that should be backed up next to the default backup (custom files etc) and save the backup directly from GUI.
I cannot find this feature in Luci on router Turris Omnia.
I’ve tried to modify /etc/config/backup in order to achieve the same functionality with Foris, but Foris has loaded one of CPU cores after this.
I’ve solved the problem by using sysupgrade -b /root/router_backup_date +"%Y_%m_%d-%H_%M".tar.gz but is there any way how to create/download backup archive via Luci?
some settings are customizable via /etc/config/backup
Summary
config generate generate
# custom firewall rules from LuCI config
list dirs “/etc/firewall.user”
## Some extra files and directories for inspiration:
#
# if you want to backup startup services #list dirs “/etc/rc.d”
#
# to backup root ssh config, authorized and private keys #list dirs “/root/.ssh”
#
# if you want to backup system users as well #list dirs “/etc/passwd” #list dirs “/etc/shadow”
#
# if you want to backup OpenVPN Foris plugin certificates #list dirs “/etc/ssl/ca/openvpn”
#
# if you have some custom crontabs #list dirs “/etc/cron.d/my_crontab”
