External Backup Script using Rclone Mount

All unofficial utilities are provided for your convenience. The scripts are provided as-is and may not be updated or maintained by Ultra.cc. Clients are welcome to use and customize unofficial scripts for their unique needs and requirements. Unofficial support may be offered via Discord only and at the sole discretion of Ultra.cc staff.
Use at your own risk.

This script will back up your application config files, databases, and torrent sessions (not the torrent data). For it to work you need an Rclone mount set up on your service.

Prerequisites

Familiarity with the Linux command line.
Command execution via SSH.
An Rclone mount already setup on your Ultra.cc service.

Installation

Connect to your service via SSH.
Execute the following command:

bash <(wget -qO- https://scripts.ultra.cc/util-v2/Ultra-Backup/main.sh)

Type 1 and ENTER to proceed with the installation.
Type your Rclone remote name, e.g gdrive and press ENTER to confirm.
Done!

Configuration

At 00:00 on every Sunday the script will now upload the backup to your remote cloud storage.
To change the backup interval, execute crontab -e and find the line with the Ultra_Backup script. Use crontab.guru to change the interval at the beginning of the line.

Log

Log file can be found at ~/scripts/Ultra_Backup/backup.log

Uninstallation

Connect to your service via SSH.
Execute the following command:

bash <(wget -qO- https://scripts.ultra.cc/util-v2/Ultra-Backup/main.sh)

Type 2 and ENTER to proceed with the uninstallation.
Done!
