Installation

BackSnap is easy to install.

1. Install JAVA 21

This varies greatly depending on the distribution used. Please refer to your distribution guide on how to install java 21 so you do it right from the start. I recommend using Java OpenJDK 21.

Manjaro or Arch:

pamac install jdk-openjdk

or

pacman -S jdk-openjdk

or

trizen -S jdk-openjdk
Test as user and as root:
java -version

openjdk version "21" 2023-09-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 21+35)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 21+35, mixed mode, sharing)

2. Install pv

pv shows the progress and speed of the snapshot transfer. It is not required but recommended.

Manjaro or Arch:

pamac install pv

pacman -S pv

trizen -S pv
Test as user and as root:
pv -V

pv 1.8.0

3. Install backsnap

The installation must be done as root (or with sudo). It should be done in such a way that backsnap is accessible in both root's $PATH and user's $PATH.

echo $PATH

in /usr/local/bin

If /usr/local/bin is in your path, it's easiest to install backsnap there.

sudo wget https://github.com/andreaskielkopf/BackSnap/raw/master/backsnap -O /usr/local/bin/backsnap

Make backsnap executable:

sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/backsnap

or in /usr/bin

If /usr/local/bin is not in your path, the easiest way is to install backsnap in /usr/bin.

sudo wget https://github.com/andreaskielkopf/BackSnap/raw/master/backsnap -O /usr/bin/backsnap

Make backsnap executable:

sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/backsnap

Test as user and as root:

backsnap -x

BackSnap Version 0.6.8.27 (2024/06/22)
args >  -x 
java [version=23-ea, major=23, minor=null, patch=null]
using ThreadPerTaskExecutor
