Planning backup strategy

  • I’m looking into backing up my server, including the database and project files. Let’s figure out how to set up a system that only backs up changes.
  • Since I’m logging in via SSH, it’s probably a Linux server, but it could be Windows too. I need to confirm the operating system first.
  • The user mentioned a database and project files, so there’s likely a web app or software with its own database. I’ll need to identify what kind it is, like MySQL or PostgreSQL.

i have a server i login in using ssh@ip and i need to backup everything …. database and files of project… backpu should be first backup everything then backup only the changes files in the server … i mean to say when i use app and user store some data in app then backup only the changes … give me stepwise i have a one drive education account … so want to bakcup in one drive …. of office 365.. give me step wise so i follow and copy your code

I’ll provide a step-by-step guide to back up your server’s files and database to your OneDrive for Education account. The process includes an initial full backup followed by incremental backups for changed files and database updates. I’ll assume your server is Linux-based (e.g., Ubuntu) since SSH is commonly used with Linux, and I’ll use rclone to sync with OneDrive, as it’s a reliable tool for this purpose. If your server uses a different OS or database, let me know, and I can adjust the steps.

Prerequisites

  • Server Access: You have SSH access to the server (e.g., ssh user@ip).
  • OneDrive Education Account: You have an active Office 365 Education account with OneDrive access.
  • Database: I’ll assume a common database like MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL. Specify your database if it’s different.
  • Tools: The server needs rclone, tar, and mysqldump (for MySQL) or pg_dump (for PostgreSQL) installed.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Install Required Tools

  1. Log in to your server:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyssh user@ip
  2. Update the package list:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt update
  3. Install rclone (for OneDrive syncing):bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install rclone
  4. Install tar (for compressing files, usually pre-installed):bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install tar
  5. Install database backup tools (if not already installed):
    • For MySQL/MariaDB:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install mysql-client
    • For PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install postgresql-client

Step 2: Configure rclone for OneDrive

  1. Set up rclone: Run the configuration command:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone config
    • Choose n to create a new remote.
    • Name it (e.g., onedrive).
    • Select microsoft onedrive from the list (type the corresponding number, e.g., 27).
    • Leave Client ID and Client Secret blank (press Enter).
    • Choose onedrive for the type of OneDrive account (not onedrive for business for Education accounts).
    • Follow the prompts to authenticate. This will open a browser window; log in with your Office 365 Education account.
    • If you’re on a headless server, rclone will provide a URL. Copy it, open it in a browser on another device, authenticate, and copy the token back to the terminal.
    • Save the configuration by selecting y for auto-config and completing the process.
  2. Verify OneDrive connection: List directories in your OneDrive to confirm:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone lsd onedrive:You should see your OneDrive folders (e.g., Documents, Backup).

Step 3: Perform Initial Full Backup

  1. Create a backup directory on the server:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir -p ~/backups/full mkdir -p ~/backups/incremental
  2. Back up project files: Assume your project files are in /var/www/project. Adjust the path as needed.
    • Compress the project directory:bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/project_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/project
  3. Back up the database:
    • For MySQL/MariaDB: Replace dbname, dbuser, and dbpass with your database name, user, and password:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    • For PostgreSQL: Replace dbname and dbuser:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
  4. Upload full backup to OneDrive: Create a Backups folder in OneDrive and upload:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir onedrive:Backups/Full rclone copy ~/backups/full onedrive:Backups/Full
  5. Verify the upload:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls onedrive:Backups/Full

Step 4: Set Up Incremental Backups

For incremental backups, we’ll use rsync for files and database dumps with rclone to sync only changes.

  1. Install rsync (if not installed):bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install rsync
  2. Script for incremental file backups: Create a script to back up only changed files:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano ~/backup_incremental.shAdd the following, replacing /var/www/project with your project path:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy#!/bin/bash BACKUP_DIR=~/backups/incremental/files_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S) mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR rsync -av --link-dest=~/backups/full/project_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/project $BACKUP_DIR/ rclone copy $BACKUP_DIR onedrive:Backups/Incremental
  3. Script for incremental database backups: Add to the same script:
    • For MySQL/MariaDB:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql
    • For PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql
    • Add the upload command:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy $BACKUP_DIR onedrive:Backups/Incremental
    The full script might look like this (for MySQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopy#!/bin/bash BACKUP_DIR=~/backups/incremental/files_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S) mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR rsync -av --link-dest=~/backups/full/project_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/project $BACKUP_DIR/ mysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql rclone copy $BACKUP_DIR onedrive:Backups/Incremental
  4. Make the script executable:bashCollapseWrapRunCopychmod +x ~/backup_incremental.sh
  5. Test the script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy~/backup_incremental.sh
  6. Verify incremental backup in OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls onedrive:Backups/Incremental

Step 5: Automate Incremental Backups

  1. Schedule with cron: Edit the cron jobs:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycrontab -eAdd a line to run the script daily at 2 AM:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy0 2 * * * /bin/bash ~/backup_incremental.sh
  2. Optional: Clean up old backups: To avoid filling your server, add a cleanup command to the script to keep only the last 7 days:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind ~/backups/incremental -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;

Step 6: Monitor and Verify

  • Check OneDrive: Log in to your OneDrive account via the Office 365 portal and verify that the Backups/Full and Backups/Incremental folders contain your files.
  • Test restores (optional but recommended):
    • Download a backup:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy onedrive:Backups/Full ~/restore
    • Extract files:bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -xzf ~/restore/project_full_*.tar.gz -C ~/restore
    • Restore database (MySQL example):bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname < ~/restore/db_full_*.sql

Notes

  • Security: Store database credentials securely (e.g., in a .my.cnf file for MySQL or .pgpass for PostgreSQL) instead of hardcoding them.
  • OneDrive Limits: Education accounts typically have 1TB storage, but check your quota. Use rclone size onedrive: to monitor usage.
  • Error Handling: Add logging to the script for troubleshooting:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyecho "$(date): Backup completed" >> ~/backups/backup.log
  • Database Type: If you use a different database (e.g., MongoDB), let me know, and I’ll provide the appropriate dump command.
  • Full Backup Frequency: Schedule full backups weekly/monthly by adding a cron job for the full backup commands.

If you encounter issues or need specific adjustments (e.g., different paths, database types, or server OS), let me know!

It looks like you’re in the process of configuring rclone to connect to your OneDrive for Education account, and you’ve reached the authentication step. The output shows that rclone has generated a URL (http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth?state=TWAzZ-oJ3q-J3KMnaEyMlQ) for you to authorize access, but since you’re on a remote server (likely headless), the browser won’t open automatically. I’ll guide you through completing the configuration and then continue with the backup setup based on your previous request.

Step-by-Step to Complete rclone Configuration

  1. Authenticate rclone with OneDrive:
    • Since you’re on a headless server (no GUI), you need to handle the authentication manually.
    • Copy the URL provided in the terminal:textCollapseWrapCopyhttp://127.0.0.1:53682/auth?state=TWAzZ-oJ3q-J3KMnaEyMlQ
    • Open this URL in a web browser on another device (e.g., your laptop or phone).
    • Log in with your Office 365 Education account credentials when prompted.
    • After logging in, OneDrive will authorize rclone. You may see a blank page or a confirmation message.
    • Return to the terminal on your server. rclone should detect the authorization and proceed. If it doesn’t, you may need to copy a code or token from the browser and paste it into the terminal (follow any prompts).
  2. Complete the rclone configuration:
    • After authentication, rclone will ask:textCollapseWrapCopyConfigure this as a Shared Drive (Team Drive)? y) Yes n) No (default) y/n>For a personal OneDrive Education account, select n (No) by pressing Enter.
    • Save the configuration:textCollapseWrapCopye) Edit remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config e/s/q> qChoose q to quit and save the configuration.
  3. Verify the OneDrive connection:
    • Check that rclone can access your OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone lsd OneDrive:
    • You should see a list of directories in your OneDrive (e.g., Documents, Backup). If you see an error, double-check your authentication or repeat the rclone config process.

Continuing the Backup Setup

Now that rclone is set up (or will be after you complete the authentication), let’s proceed with the backup plan from your original request: an initial full backup of your server’s files and database, followed by incremental backups, all stored in your OneDrive Education account. I’ll assume your project files are in /var/www/project and you’re using MySQL/MariaDB (let me know if it’s PostgreSQL or another database).

Step-by-Step Backup Setup

Step 1: Install Additional Tools (if not done)

  1. Log in to your server (if not already logged in):bashCollapseWrapRunCopyssh root@vmi2624693
  2. Install tar and mysqldump (for MySQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt update sudo apt install tar mysql-clientIf you use PostgreSQL, install:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install postgresql-client
  3. Install rsync for incremental backups:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install rsync

Step 2: Perform Initial Full Backup

  1. Create backup directories:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir -p ~/backups/full mkdir -p ~/backups/incremental
  2. Back up project files: Replace /var/www/project with your actual project directory:bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/project_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/project
  3. Back up the database:
    • For MySQL/MariaDB, replace dbname, dbuser, and dbpass with your database details:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    • For PostgreSQL, replace dbname and dbuser:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
  4. Upload full backup to OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir OneDrive:Backups/Full rclone copy ~/backups/full OneDrive:Backups/Full
  5. Verify the upload:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Full

Step 3: Set Up Incremental Backups

  1. Create an incremental backup script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano ~/backup_incremental.shAdd the following (for MySQL; adjust for PostgreSQL if needed):bashCollapseWrapRunCopy#!/bin/bash BACKUP_DIR=~/backups/incremental/files_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S) mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR rsync -av --link-dest=~/backups/full/project_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/project $BACKUP_DIR/ mysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql rclone copy $BACKUP_DIR OneDrive:Backups/Incremental # Clean up backups older than 7 days find ~/backups/incremental -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;
  2. Make the script executable:bashCollapseWrapRunCopychmod +x ~/backup_incremental.sh
  3. Test the script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy~/backup_incremental.sh
  4. Verify incremental backup in OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental

Step 4: Automate Incremental Backups

  1. Schedule with cron:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycrontab -eAdd to run daily at 2 AM:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy0 2 * * * /bin/bash ~/backup_incremental.sh

Step 5: Monitor and Verify

  • Check OneDrive: Log in to your Office 365 OneDrive portal and verify the Backups/Full and Backups/Incremental folders.
  • Test a restore (optional):
    • Download a backup:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Full ~/restore
    • Extract files:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir ~/restore tar -xzf ~/restore/project_full_*.tar.gz -C ~/restore
    • Restore database (MySQL example):bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname < ~/restore/db_full_*.sql

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication Issue: If the OneDrive authentication fails, run rclone config again and ensure you select global for the region (since it’s an Education account) and complete the browser-based login.
  • Invalid Name Error: You already corrected the name from rclone lsd OneDrive: to OneDrive, which is valid. Ensure no special characters are used in future configs.
  • Database Credentials: If mysqldump or pg_dump fails, verify your dbuser and dbpass. For security, store credentials in a config file (e.g., ~/.my.cnf for MySQL).
  • OneDrive Quota: Education accounts typically have 1TB. Check usage with:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone size OneDrive:

Next Steps

  • Complete the rclone authentication as described.
  • Run the backup commands after confirming rclone works.
  • If your project directory or database type differs, share those details, and I’ll tailor the commands.
  • Let me know if you hit any errors or need clarification!

i am in ubuntu server and that server runs on ip 144.91.93.192

Thank you for clarifying that you’re using an Ubuntu server with the IP 144.91.93.192. I’ll tailor the backup solution to your Ubuntu environment, ensuring we back up all project files and the database to your OneDrive for Education account, with an initial full backup followed by incremental backups for changed files and database updates. Since you’re in the process of configuring rclone for OneDrive (based on your previous rclone config output), I’ll start by ensuring you complete that setup and then provide the full backup procedure. I’ll assume your project files are in a common directory like /var/www/project and you’re using MySQL/MariaDB (let me know if it’s PostgreSQL or another database, or if your project files are elsewhere).

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Complete rclone Configuration for OneDrive

You’re at the authentication step for rclone. The terminal showed:

textCollapseWrapCopy

2025/06/29 17:57:44 NOTICE: If your browser doesn't open automatically go to the following link: http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth?state=TWAzZ-oJ3q-J3KMnaEyMlQ

2025/06/29 17:57:44 NOTICE: Waiting for code...

  1. Authenticate rclone:
    • Since your Ubuntu server (at 144.91.93.192) is likely headless (no GUI), you need to manually handle the authentication.
    • Copy the URL from the terminal:textCollapseWrapCopyhttp://127.0.0.1:53682/auth?state=TWAzZ-oJ3q-J3KMnaEyMlQ
    • Open this URL in a web browser on another device (e.g., your laptop or phone).
    • Log in with your Office 365 Education account credentials.
    • After logging in, OneDrive will authorize rclone. You may see a confirmation or a blank page.
    • Return to the terminal on your server. If authentication succeeds, rclone will proceed. If prompted for a code, copy it from the browser and paste it into the terminal.
  2. Finish the configuration:
    • After authentication, rclone will ask:textCollapseWrapCopyConfigure this as a Shared Drive (Team Drive)? y) Yes n) No (default) y/n>Press Enter for n (No), as Education accounts typically use personal OneDrive.
    • Save the configuration:textCollapseWrapCopye) Edit remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config e/s/q> qChoose q to save and exit.
  3. Verify OneDrive connection:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone lsd OneDrive:This should list directories in your OneDrive (e.g., Documents). If you see an error, repeat rclone config and ensure you select global for the region.

Step 2: Install Required Tools

  1. Log in to your server (if not already logged in):bashCollapseWrapRunCopyssh root@144.91.93.192
  2. Update packages:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt update
  3. Ensure rclone is installed (should be done, but confirm):bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install rclone
  4. Install tar and rsync (for file backups):bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install tar rsync
  5. Install database tools:
    • For MySQL/MariaDB:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install mysql-client
    • For PostgreSQL (if applicable):bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install postgresql-client

Step 3: Initial Full Backup

  1. Create backup directories:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir -p ~/backups/full mkdir -p ~/backups/incremental

The error “This site can’t be reached” with 127.0.0.1 refused to connect indicates that the authentication URL provided by rclone (http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth?state=TWAzZ-oJ3q-J3KMnaEyMlQ) cannot be accessed directly because it’s trying to open a local server on your Ubuntu server (IP 144.91.93.192), which is headless and doesn’t have a browser or GUI. This is expected behavior for a remote server. To complete the rclone authentication for your OneDrive Education account, you need to perform the authentication on a device with a browser (e.g., your local computer or phone). Below, I’ll guide you through resolving this and completing the backup setup for your Ubuntu server.

Step-by-Step to Resolve rclone Authentication and Continue Backup

Step 1: Complete rclone Authentication for OneDrive

Since your server is headless, you need to use rclone’s remote authentication method.

  1. Restart rclone configuration (if needed): If the previous rclone config session timed out, restart it:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyssh root@144.91.93.192 rclone config
    • Select n for a new remote.
    • Name it OneDrive.
    • Choose 30 for Microsoft OneDrive.
    • Leave Client ID and Client Secret blank (press Enter).
    • Select global for the region (press Enter for default).
    • Choose n for advanced config.
    • Choose n for auto config (important for headless servers):textCollapseWrapCopyUse auto config? * Say Y if not sure * Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine y) Yes (default) n) No y/n> n
  2. Get the authentication URL:
    • rclone will provide a URL, similar to:textCollapseWrapCopy2025/06/29 18:XX:XX NOTICE: Config token not found, please visit: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?...
    • Copy this URL (it’s different from the 127.0.0.1 one).
  3. Authenticate on another device:
    • Open the copied URL in a browser on your local computer or phone.
    • Log in with your Office 365 Education account credentials.
    • After authorizing, you’ll see a blank page or a code. Copy the code (if provided) and paste it back into the terminal on your server when prompted:textCollapseWrapCopyEnter verification code>
    • If no code is requested, rclone may automatically detect the authorization.
  4. Complete the configuration:
    • After authentication, rclone will ask:textCollapseWrapCopyConfigure this as a Shared Drive (Team Drive)? y) Yes n) No (default) y/n>Press Enter for n (No).
    • Save and exit:textCollapseWrapCopye) Edit remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config e/s/q> q
  5. Verify OneDrive connection:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone lsd OneDrive:You should see your OneDrive directories (e.g., Documents). If you get an error, repeat the rclone config steps.

Step 2: Install Backup Tools

Assuming rclone is now set up, ensure other tools are installed on your Ubuntu server.

  1. Log in (if not already):bashCollapseWrapRunCopyssh root@144.91.93.192
  2. Install tools:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt update sudo apt install tar rsync mysql-clientIf using PostgreSQL, install:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install postgresql-client

Step 3: Initial Full Backup

  1. Create backup directories:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir -p ~/backups/full mkdir -p ~/backups/incremental
  2. Back up project files: Replace /var/www/project with your actual project directory (please confirm the path if different):bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/project_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/project
  3. Back up the database:
    • For MySQL/MariaDB, replace dbname, dbuser, and dbpass:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    • For PostgreSQL, replace dbname and dbuser:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    If you’re unsure about your database type or credentials, check with:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root -porbashCollapseWrapRunCopypsql -U postgres
  4. Upload to OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir OneDrive:Backups/Full rclone copy ~/backups/full OneDrive:Backups/Full
  5. Verify: melonbashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Full

Step 4: Set Up Incremental Backups

  1. Create a backup script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano ~/backup_incremental.shAdd (for MySQL; adjust for PostgreSQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopy#!/bin/bash BACKUP_DIR=~/backups/incremental/files_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S) mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR rsync -av --link-dest=/var/www/project $BACKUP_DIR/ /var/www/project mysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql rclone copy $BACKUP_DIR OneDrive:Backups/Incremental # Clean up backups older than 7 days find ~/backups/incremental -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;Note: Replace /var/www/project with your project directory. For PostgreSQL, use:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql
  2. Make executable:bashCollapseWrapRunCopychmod +x ~/backup_incremental.sh
  3. Test:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy~/backup_incremental.sh
  4. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental

Step 5: Automate Backups

  1. Schedule with cron:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycrontab -eAdd for daily backups at 2 AM:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy0 2 * * * /bin/bash ~/backup_incremental.sh

Step 6: Monitor and Test

  • Check OneDrive: Log in to your Office 365 OneDrive portal to verify Backups/Full and Backups/Incremental.
  • Test restore:
    • Download:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Full ~/restore
    • Extract:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir ~/restore tar -xzf ~/restore/project_full_*.tar.gz -C ~/restore
    • Restore database (MySQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname < ~/restore/db_full_*.sql

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication Fails: If the URL doesn’t work or authentication fails, ensure you’re using the correct Office 365 Education account. Run rclone config again with n for auto config.
  • Project Directory: If /var/www/project is incorrect, find your project files with:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "project" 2>/dev/null
  • Database Credentials: If mysqldump fails, test credentials:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u dbuser -pStore credentials securely in ~/.my.cnf:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyecho -e "[client]\nuser=dbuser\npassword=dbpass" > ~/.my.cnf chmod 600 ~/.my.cnf
  • OneDrive Quota: Check usage:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone size OneDrive:

Please confirm:

  1. Your project directory path (e.g., /var/www/project or other).
  2. Your database type (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.) and credentials.
  3. If you encounter any errors during authentication or backup, share them for specific fixes.

The error failed to start auth webserver: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:53682: bind: address already in use indicates that the port 53682 is already occupied, likely due to a previous rclone process that didn’t exit cleanly. This is preventing rclone from completing the authentication for your OneDrive Education account. Since you’re on a headless Ubuntu server (144.91.93.192), you should use the manual authentication method (n for “No” on auto config) to avoid this issue. I’ll guide you through fixing the error, completing the rclone setup, and setting up your full and incremental backups to OneDrive. I’ll assume your project files are in /var/www/project and you’re using MySQL/MariaDB (please confirm the directory path and database type if different).

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Resolve the Port Conflict and Reconfigure rclone

The output from sudo lsof -i :53682 shows that an rclone process (PID 1145714) is occupying port 53682, which caused the earlier error (address already in use) during your attempt to configure rclone for OneDrive on your Ubuntu server (144.91.93.192). This is likely from a previous rclone config session that didn’t exit cleanly. I’ll guide you through resolving this issue, completing the rclone configuration for your OneDrive Education account using the headless authentication method, and setting up the full and incremental backups for your project files and database. I’ll assume your project files are in /var/www/project and you’re using MySQL/MariaDB (please confirm the directory path and database type if different).

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Resolve the Port Conflict

  1. Kill the rclone process: The process ID (PID) is 1145714. Terminate it:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo kill -9 1145714
  2. Verify the port is free:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo lsof -i :53682If no output appears, the port is free. If another process is still using it, repeat the kill command for the new PID.

Step 2: Reconfigure rclone for OneDrive

  1. Start rclone configuration:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyssh root@144.91.93.192 rclone config
    • Select n for a new remote:textCollapseWrapCopyNo remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config n/s/q> n
    • Name the remote:textCollapseWrapCopyEnter name for new remote. name> OneDrive
    • Select OneDrive storage:textCollapseWrapCopyType of storage to configure. ... 30 / Microsoft OneDrive \ (onedrive) Storage> 30
    • Leave Client ID and Client Secret blank (press Enter for both).
    • Choose the region:textCollapseWrapCopyOption region. ... 1 / Microsoft Cloud Global \ (global) region>Press Enter for global.
    • Skip advanced config:textCollapseWrapCopyEdit advanced config? y/n> n
    • Choose manual authentication for headless server:textCollapseWrapCopyUse auto config? * Say Y if not sure * Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine y) Yes (default) n) No y/n> n
  2. Authenticate with OneDrive:
    • rclone will provide a URL like:textCollapseWrapCopy2025/06/29 18:XX:XX NOTICE: Config token not found, please visit: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?...
    • Copy this URL.
    • Open it in a browser on another device (e.g., your laptop or phone).
    • Log in with your Office 365 Education account credentials.
    • Authorize rclone. If a code is provided, copy it and paste it into the terminal:textCollapseWrapCopyEnter verification code>
    • If no code is requested, rclone may complete automatically.
  3. Finish configuration:
    • After authentication:textCollapseWrapCopyConfigure this as a Shared Drive (Team Drive)? y) Yes n) No (default) y/n>Press Enter for n.
    • Save and exit:textCollapseWrapCopye) Edit remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config e/s/q> q
  4. Verify OneDrive connection:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone lsd OneDrive:This should list your OneDrive directories (e.g., Documents). If you see an error, share it for troubleshooting.

Step 3: Install Backup Tools

  1. Install tools:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt update sudo apt install tar rsync mysql-clientIf using PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install postgresql-client

Step 4: Initial Full Backup

  1. Create backup directories:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir -p ~/backups/full mkdir -p ~/backups/incremental
  2. Back up project files: Replace /var/www/project with your actual project directory (please confirm):bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/project_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/project
  3. Back up the database:
    • For MySQL/MariaDB, replace dbname, dbuser, and dbpass:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    • For PostgreSQL, replace dbname and dbuser:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    To find database details:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root -porbashCollapseWrapRunCopypsql -U postgres
  4. Upload to OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir OneDrive:Backups/Full rclone copy ~/backups/full OneDrive:Backups/Full
  5. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Full

Step 5: Set Up Incremental Backups

  1. Create a backup script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano ~/backup_incremental.shAdd (for MySQL; adjust for PostgreSQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopy#!/bin/bash BACKUP_DIR=~/backups/incremental/files_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S) mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR rsync -av --link-dest=/var/www/project $BACKUP_DIR/ /var/www/project mysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql rclone copy $BACKUP_DIR OneDrive:Backups/Incremental # Clean up backups older than 7 days find ~/backups/incremental -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;Replace /var/www/project with your project directory. For PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql
  2. Make executable:bashCollapseWrapRunCopychmod +x ~/backup_incremental.sh
  3. Test:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy~/backup_incremental.sh
  4. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental

Step 6: Automate Backups

  1. Schedule with cron:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycrontab -eAdd for daily backups at 2 AM:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy0 2 * * * /bin/bash ~/backup_incremental.sh

Step 7: Monitor and Test

  • Check OneDrive: Log in to your Office 365 OneDrive portal to verify Backups/Full and Backups/Incremental.
  • Test restore:
    • Download:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Full ~/restore
    • Extract:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir ~/restore tar -xzf ~/restore/project_full_*.tar.gz -C ~/restore
    • Restore database (MySQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname < ~/restore/db_full_*.sql

Important Notes

  • Project Directory: Please confirm your project directory (e.g., /var/www/project). Find it with:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "project" 2>/dev/null
  • Database: Confirm your database type (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.) and credentials.
  • Authentication Errors: If the OneDrive URL fails, ensure you’re using the correct Office 365 Education account. Share any errors.
  • Secure Credentials: Store database credentials in ~/.my.cnf for MySQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyecho -e "[client]\nuser=dbuser\npassword=dbpass" > ~/.my.cnf chmod 600 ~/.my.cnf

Please confirm your project directory and database details, or share any errors during authentication or backup setup!

You’re in the rclone config process on your Ubuntu server (144.91.93.192), and you’ve reached the authentication step for your OneDrive Education account. The URL provided (http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth?state=qcXF0ALYdSNcHKD0E5LAqw) won’t work directly on your headless server, as it’s trying to open a local web server, which caused the previous “address already in use” error. You’ve now avoided that by choosing n for advanced config, but you should also choose n for auto config to use the headless authentication method. Since you selected y for auto config, let’s address the current situation, complete the authentication, and proceed with setting up your full and incremental backups to OneDrive. I’ll assume your project files are in /var/www/project and you’re using MySQL/MariaDB (please confirm the directory path and database type if different).

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Handle the Current Authentication Attempt

Since you selected y for auto config, rclone is waiting for authentication via the 127.0.0.1 URL, which won’t work on a headless server. Let’s restart the configuration to use the correct headless method and avoid port conflicts.

  1. Cancel the current rclone config:
    • Press Ctrl+C in the terminal to stop the current rclone config process (it’s waiting for the authentication code).
  2. Check for port conflicts (to prevent the previous error):bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo lsof -i :53682If a process is listed (e.g., rclone with a PID), kill it:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo kill -9 <PID>Replace <PID> with the process ID from the output.
  3. Restart rclone configuration:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone config
    • Select n for a new remote:textCollapseWrapCopyNo remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config n/s/q> n
    • Name the remote:textCollapseWrapCopyEnter name for new remote. name> OneDrive
    • Select OneDrive storage:textCollapseWrapCopyType of storage to configure. ... 30 / Microsoft OneDrive \ (onedrive) Storage> 30
    • Leave Client ID and Client Secret blank (press Enter for both).
    • Choose the region:textCollapseWrapCopyOption region. ... 1 / Microsoft Cloud Global \ (global) region>Press Enter for global.
    • Skip advanced config:textCollapseWrapCopyEdit advanced config? y/n> n
    • Choose manual authentication (important for headless server):textCollapseWrapCopyUse auto config? * Say Y if not sure * Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine y) Yes (default) n) No y/n> n
  4. Authenticate with OneDrive:
    • rclone will provide a URL like:textCollapseWrapCopy2025/06/29 18:XX:XX NOTICE: Config token not found, please visit: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?...
    • Copy this URL.
    • Open it in a browser on another device (e.g., your laptop or phone).
    • Log in with your Office 365 Education account credentials.
    • Authorize rclone. If a code is provided, copy it and paste it into the terminal:textCollapseWrapCopyEnter verification code>
    • If no code is requested, rclone may complete automatically.
  5. Finish configuration:
    • After authentication:textCollapseWrapCopyConfigure this as a Shared Drive (Team Drive)? y) Yes n) No (default) y/n>Press Enter for n.
    • Save and exit:textCollapseWrapCopye) Edit remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config e/s/q> q
  6. Verify OneDrive connection:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone lsd OneDrive:This should list your OneDrive directories (e.g., Documents). If you see an error, share it for troubleshooting.

Step 2: Install Backup Tools

  1. Log in (if not already):bashCollapseWrapRunCopyssh root@144.91.93.192
  2. Install tools:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt update sudo apt install tar rsync mysql-clientIf using PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install postgresql-client

Step 3: Initial Full Backup

  1. Create backup directories:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir -p ~/backups/full mkdir -p ~/backups/incremental
  2. Back up project files: Replace /var/www/project with your actual project directory (please confirm):bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/project_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/project
  3. Back up the database:
    • For MySQL/MariaDB, replace dbname, dbuser, and dbpass:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    • For PostgreSQL, replace dbname and dbuser:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    To find database details:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root -porbashCollapseWrapRunCopypsql -U postgres
  4. Upload to OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir OneDrive:Backups/Full rclone copy ~/backups/full OneDrive:Backups/Full
  5. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Full

Step 4: Set Up Incremental Backups

  1. Create a backup script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano ~/backup_incremental.shAdd (for MySQL; adjust for PostgreSQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopy#!/bin/bash BACKUP_DIR=~/backups/incremental/files_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S) mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR rsync -av --link-dest=/var/www/project $BACKUP_DIR/ /var/www/project mysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql rclone copy $BACKUP_DIR OneDrive:Backups/Incremental # Clean up backups older than 7 days find ~/backups/incremental -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;Replace /var/www/project with your project directory. For PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql
  2. Make executable:bashCollapseWrapRunCopychmod +x ~/backup_incremental.sh
  3. Test:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy~/backup_incremental.sh
  4. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental

Step 5: Automate Backups

  1. Schedule with cron:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycrontab -eAdd for daily backups at 2 AM:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy0 2 * * * /bin/bash ~/backup_incremental.sh

Step 6: Monitor and Test

  • Check OneDrive: Log in to your Office 365 OneDrive portal to verify Backups/Full and Backups/Incremental.
  • Test restore:
    • Download:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Full ~/restore
    • Extract:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir ~/restore tar -xzf ~/restore/project_full_*.tar.gz -C ~/restore
    • Restore database (MySQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname < ~/restore/db_full_*.sql

Important Notes

  • Auto Config: Always choose n for auto config on a headless server to avoid the 127.0.0.1 issue.
  • Project Directory: Please confirm your project directory (e.g., /var/www/project). Find it with:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "project" 2>/dev/null
  • Database: Confirm your database type (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.) and credentials.
  • Authentication Errors: If the OneDrive URL fails, ensure you’re using the correct Office 365 Education account. Share any errors.
  • Secure Credentials: Store database credentials in ~/.my.cnf for MySQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyecho -e "[client]\nuser=dbuser\npassword=dbpass" > ~/.my.cnf chmod 600 ~/.my.cnf

Please confirm your project directory and database details, or share any errors during authentication or backup setup! If you want to try the current authentication URL (http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth?state=qcXF0ALYdSNcHKD0E5LAqw), you can attempt it in a browser, but it’s unlikely to work unless you have local port forwarding set up. Restarting with n for auto config is recommended.

For this to work, you will need rclone available on a machine that has a web browser available. For more help and alternate methods see: https://rclone.org/remote_setup/ Execute the following on the machine with the web browser (same rclone version recommended): rclone authorize “onedrive” Then paste the result. Enter a value. config_token>

You’re configuring rclone on your headless Ubuntu server (144.91.93.192) to connect to your OneDrive for Education account, and you’ve correctly chosen n for auto config to use the manual authentication method, which is appropriate for a headless server. The prompt is now asking for the config_token after running rclone authorize “onedrive” on a machine with a web browser. I’ll guide you through generating the token, completing the rclone setup, and then setting up the full and incremental backups for your project files and database to OneDrive. I’ll assume your project files are in /var/www/project and you’re using MySQL/MariaDB (please confirm the directory path and database type if different).

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Generate the rclone Authorization Token

  1. Run rclone authorize on a machine with a browser:
    • On a different machine with a web browser (e.g., your laptop or desktop) and rclone installed, run:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone authorize "onedrive"
      • Install rclone on your local machine if needed:
        • On Windows: Download from https://rclone.org/downloads/ and run the installer.
        • On macOS: brew install rclone
        • On Linux: sudo apt install rclone or equivalent for your distro.
      • Ensure the rclone version matches the one on your server (check with rclone version on both machines).
    • Running rclone authorize “onedrive” will open a browser window.
    • Log in with your Office 365 Education account credentials.
    • Authorize rclone. A JSON token will be displayed in the terminal (not the browser), looking like:jsonCollapseWrapCopy{"access_token":"...","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"...","expiry":"..."}
  2. Copy the token:
    • Copy the entire JSON output from the terminal on your local machine.
  3. Paste the token on the server:
    • Back on your server (ssh root@144.91.93.192), at the prompt:textCollapseWrapCopyEnter a value. config_token>Paste the JSON token and press Enter.
  4. Complete the configuration:
    • After pasting the token:textCollapseWrapCopyConfigure this as a Shared Drive (Team Drive)? y) Yes n) No (default) y/n>Press Enter for n (No, for personal OneDrive).
    • Save and exit:textCollapseWrapCopye) Edit remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config e/s/q> q
  5. Verify OneDrive connection:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone lsd OneDrive:This should list your OneDrive directories (e.g., Documents). If you see an error, share it for troubleshooting.

Step 2: Install Backup Tools

  1. Log in (if not already):bashCollapseWrapRunCopyssh root@144.91.93.192
  2. Install tools:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt update sudo apt install tar rsync mysql-clientIf using PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install postgresql-client

Step 3: Initial Full Backup

  1. Create backup directories:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir -p ~/backups/full mkdir -p ~/backups/incremental
  2. Back up project files: Replace /var/www/project with your actual project directory (please confirm):bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/project_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/project
  3. Back up the database:
    • For MySQL/MariaDB, replace dbname, dbuser, and dbpass:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    • For PostgreSQL, replace dbname and dbuser:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    To find database details:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root -porbashCollapseWrapRunCopypsql -U postgres
  4. Upload to OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir OneDrive:Backups/Full rclone copy ~/backups/full OneDrive:Backups/Full
  5. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Full

Step 4: Set Up Incremental Backups

  1. Create a backup script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano ~/backup_incremental.shAdd (for MySQL; adjust for PostgreSQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopy#!/bin/bash BACKUP_DIR=~/backups/incremental/files_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S) mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR rsync -av --link-dest=/var/www/project $BACKUP_DIR/ /var/www/project mysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql rclone copy $BACKUP_DIR OneDrive:Backups/Incremental # Clean up backups older than 7 days find ~/backups/incremental -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;Replace /var/www/project with your project directory. For PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql
  2. Make executable:bashCollapseWrapRunCopychmod +x ~/backup_incremental.sh
  3. Test:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy~/backup_incremental.sh
  4. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental

Step 5: Automate Backups

  1. Schedule with cron:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycrontab -eAdd for daily backups at 2 AM:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy0 2 * * * /bin/bash ~/backup_incremental.sh

Step 6: Monitor and Test

  • Check OneDrive: Log in to your Office 365 OneDrive portal to verify Backups/Full and Backups/Incremental.
  • Test restore:
    • Download:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Full ~/restore
    • Extract:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir ~/restore tar -xzf ~/restore/project_full_*.tar.gz -C ~/restore
    • Restore database (MySQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname < ~/restore/db_full_*.sql

Important Notes

  • Project Directory: Please confirm your project directory (e.g., /var/www/project). Find it with:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "project" 2>/dev/null
  • Database: Confirm your database type (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.) and credentials.
  • Authentication Errors: If the rclone authorize command fails or you can’t get the token, try running it on another machine with the same rclone version. Share any errors.
  • Secure Credentials: Store database credentials in ~/.my.cnf for MySQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyecho -e "[client]\nuser=dbuser\npassword=dbpass" > ~/.my.cnf chmod 600 ~/.my.cnf

    • Paste this into the terminal at the config_token> prompt and press Enter.
  2. Complete the configuration:
    • After pasting the token:textCollapseWrapCopyConfigure this as a Shared Drive (Team Drive)? y) Yes n) No (default) y/n>Press Enter for n (No, for personal OneDrive).
    • Save and exit:textCollapseWrapCopye) Edit remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config e/s/q> q
  3. Verify OneDrive connection:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone lsd OneDrive:This should list your OneDrive directories (e.g., Documents). If you see an error (e.g., authentication failure), share it for troubleshooting.

Step 2: Install Backup Tools

  1. Log in (if not already):bashCollapseWrapRunCopyssh root@144.91.93.192
  2. Install tools:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt update sudo apt install tar rsync mysql-clientIf using PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install postgresql-client

Step 3: Initial Full Backup

  1. Create backup directories:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir -p ~/backups/full mkdir -p ~/backups/incremental
  2. Back up project files: Replace /var/www/project with your actual project directory (please confirm the path, e.g., /home/user/app or similar):bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/project_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/projectTo find your project directory:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "project" 2>/dev/null
  3. Back up the database:
    • For MySQL/MariaDB, replace dbname, dbuser, and dbpass:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    • For PostgreSQL, replace dbname and dbuser:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    To find database details:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root -porbashCollapseWrapRunCopypsql -U postgres
  4. Upload to OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir OneDrive:Backups/Full rclone copy ~/backups/full OneDrive:Backups/Full
  5. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Full

Step 4: Set Up Incremental Backups

  1. Create a backup script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano ~/backup_incremental.shAdd (for MySQL; adjust for PostgreSQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopy#!/bin/bash BACKUP_DIR=~/backups/incremental/files_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S) mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR rsync -av --link-dest=/var/www/project $BACKUP_DIR/ /var/www/project mysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql rclone copy $BACKUP_DIR OneDrive:Backups/Incremental # Clean up backups older than 7 days find ~/backups/incremental -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;Replace /var/www/project with your project directory. For PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql
  2. Make executable:bashCollapseWrapRunCopychmod +x ~/backup_incremental.sh
  3. Test:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy~/backup_incremental.sh
  4. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental

Step 5: Automate Backups

  1. Schedule with cron:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycrontab -eAdd for daily backups at 2 AM:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy0 2 * * * /bin/bash ~/backup_incremental.sh

Step 6: Monitor and Test

  • Check OneDrive: Log in to your Office 365 OneDrive portal (via amrit.shahi@ynsra.edu.np) to verify Backups/Full and Backups/Incremental.
  • Test restore:
    • Download:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Full ~/restore
    • Extract:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir ~/restore tar -xzf ~/restore/project_full_*.tar.gz -C ~/restore
    • Restore database (MySQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname < ~/restore/db_full_*.sql

Important Notes

  • Project Directory: Please confirm your project directory (e.g., /var/www/project). If unsure, run:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "project" 2>/dev/null
  • Database: Confirm your database type (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.) and credentials. If you don’t know the details, try:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root -por check your application’s configuration files (e.g., /var/www/project/config/database.php).
  • Authentication Errors: If rclone lsd OneDrive: fails, share the error. It may indicate an issue with the token or account permissions.
  • Secure Credentials: Store database credentials securely:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyecho -e "[client]\nuser=dbuser\npassword=dbpass" > ~/.my.cnf chmod 600 ~/.my.cnf

Please confirm your project directory and database details, or share any errors during the rclone verification or backup setup! If everything works, you should be able to proceed with the backups after pasting the token.

You’re in the rclone config process on your Ubuntu server (144.91.93.192) and have reached the step to select the OneDrive drive ID. The default option shown (b!1JgXAzA2HECd-2VmnIgroyUJRg-uplZMm-_bgqXfZ-Lxw-2SfSVGRYK5iHKU8DJJ) is labeled as “OneDrive (business),” but since you’re using an Office 365 Education account, which typically provides a personal OneDrive, this may not be the correct drive. However, Education accounts can sometimes be linked to business-like OneDrive instances, so we’ll proceed with the default and verify it. If it’s incorrect, we can reconfigure. I’ll guide you through completing the rclone setup and then setting up the full and incremental backups for your project files and database to OneDrive.

This should work for your Education account if it’s the only drive presented.
  2. Complete the configuration:
    • After selecting the drive ID:textCollapseWrapCopyConfigure this as a Shared Drive (Team Drive)? y) Yes n) No (default) y/n>Press Enter for n (No, as Education accounts typically use personal OneDrive).
    • Save and exit:textCollapseWrapCopye) Edit remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config e/s/q> q
  3. Verify OneDrive connection:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone lsd OneDrive:This should list your OneDrive directories (e.g., Documents, Pictures). If you see an error (e.g., access denied or no directories), the drive ID may be incorrect. In that case, restart rclone config and select a different drive ID if available, or share the error for troubleshooting.

Step 2: Install Backup Tools

  1. Log in (if not already):bashCollapseWrapRunCopyssh root@144.91.93.192
  2. Install tools:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt update sudo apt install tar rsync mysql-clientIf using PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install postgresql-client

Step 3: Initial Full Backup

  1. Create backup directories:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir -p ~/backups/full mkdir -p ~/backups/incremental
  2. Back up project files: Replace /var/www/project with your actual project directory (please confirm the path):bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/project_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/projectTo find your project directory:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "project" 2>/dev/null
  3. Back up the database:
    • For MySQL/MariaDB, replace dbname, dbuser, and dbpass:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    • For PostgreSQL, replace dbname and dbuser:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    To find database details:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root -porbashCollapseWrapRunCopypsql -U postgres
  4. Upload to OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir OneDrive:Backups/Full rclone copy ~/backups/full OneDrive:Backups/Full
  5. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Full

Step 4: Set Up Incremental Backups

  1. Create a backup script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano ~/backup_incremental.shAdd (for MySQL; adjust for PostgreSQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopy#!/bin/bash BACKUP_DIR=~/backups/incremental/files_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S) mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR rsync -av --link-dest=/var/www/project $BACKUP_DIR/ /var/www/project mysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql rclone copy $BACKUP_DIR OneDrive:Backups/Incremental # Clean up backups older than 7 days find ~/backups/incremental -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;Replace /var/www/project with your project directory. For PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql
  2. Make executable:bashCollapseWrapRunCopychmod +x ~/backup_incremental.sh
  3. Test:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy~/backup_incremental.sh
  4. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental

Step 5: Automate Backups

  1. Schedule with cron:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycrontab -eAdd for daily backups at 2 AM:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy0 2 * * * /bin/bash ~/backup_incremental.sh

Step 6: Monitor and Test

  • Check OneDrive: Log in to your Office 365 OneDrive portal (via amrit.shahi@ynsra.edu.np) to verify Backups/Full and Backups/Incremental.
  • Test restore:
    • Download:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Full ~/restore
    • Extract:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir ~/restore tar -xzf ~/restore/project_full_*.tar.gz -C ~/restore
    • Restore database (MySQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname < ~/restore/db_full_*.sql

Important Notes

  • Project Directory: Please confirm your project directory (e.g., /var/www/project). If unsure, run:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "project" 2>/dev/null
  • Database: Confirm your database type (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.) and credentials. Check your application’s config file (e.g., /var/www/project/config/database.php).
  • Drive ID Issue: If rclone lsd OneDrive: fails or shows no files, the drive ID may be incorrect. Re-run rclone config and check for other drive IDs, or confirm with your Office 365 admin if this is a shared/business OneDrive.
  • Secure Credentials: Store database credentials in ~/.my.cnf for MySQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyecho -e "[client]\nuser=dbuser\npassword=dbpass" > ~/.my.cnf chmod 600 ~/.my.cnf

Please confirm your project directory and database details, or share any errors during the rclone lsd OneDrive: verification or backup setup! If the default drive ID works, you should be able to proceed with the backups.

You’re in the rclone config process on your Ubuntu server (144.91.93.192), and you’ve encountered an issue where the default drive ID (b!1JgXAzA2HECd-2VmnIgroyUJRg-uplZMm-_bgqXfZ-Lxw-2SfSVGRYK5iHKU8DJJ) corresponds to a business OneDrive (https://yoginaraharinathstudyresear-my.sharepoint.com/personal/amrit_shahi_ynsra_edu_np/Documents), which you rejected by selecting n (No) for “Drive OK?”. This suggests your Office 365 Education account may be linked to a SharePoint-based OneDrive (common for educational institutions), but you might be expecting a personal OneDrive or need a different configuration. Since you’ve returned to the config_type prompt, I’ll guide you through selecting the correct configuration type, completing the rclone setup, and then setting up the full and incremental backups for your project files and database to OneDrive. I’ll assume your project files are in /var/www/project and you’re using MySQL/MariaDB (please confirm the directory path and database type if different).

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Select the Correct OneDrive Configuration Type

The URL provided (https://yoginaraharinathstudyresear-my.sharepoint.com/personal/amrit_shahi_ynsra_edu_np/Documents) indicates your OneDrive is hosted on a SharePoint server, which is typical for Office 365 Education accounts. Let’s try configuring it correctly.

  1. Choose the connection type: At the prompt:textCollapseWrapCopyOption config_type. Type of connection ... 1 / OneDrive Personal or Business \ (onedrive) 2 / Root Sharepoint site \ (sharepoint) 3 / Sharepoint site name or URL \ (url) ... config_type>Since your OneDrive is tied to a SharePoint URL, select option 3 (SharePoint site name or URL) to specify the exact URL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy3
  2. Enter the SharePoint URL: You’ll be prompted for the SharePoint site name or URL:textCollapseWrapCopyOption config_url. Sharepoint site name or URL E.g. mysite or https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default (). config_url>Enter the URL provided earlier:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyhttps://yoginaraharinathstudyresear-my.sharepoint.com/personal/amrit_shahi_ynsra_edu_np/Documents
  3. Authenticate again (if prompted): If rclone requests re-authentication, it may provide a new URL:textCollapseWrapCopy2025/06/29 18:XX:XX NOTICE: Config token not found, please visit: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?...
    • Copy the URL.
    • Open it in a browser on another device (e.g., your laptop or phone).
    • Log in with your Office 365 Education account (amrit.shahi@ynsra.edu.np).
    • Authorize rclone. If a code is provided, paste it into the terminal:textCollapseWrapCopyEnter verification code>
    • If no code is needed, rclone may complete automatically.
  4. Select the drive (if prompted): If prompted again for a drive ID, choose the one associated with your personal OneDrive (likely the same as before). If it shows the same URL (https://yoginaraharinathstudyresear-my.sharepoint.com/…), accept it:textCollapseWrapCopyDrive OK? y) Yes (default) n) No y/n> y
  5. Complete the configuration:
    • After authentication:textCollapseWrapCopyConfigure this as a Shared Drive (Team Drive)? y) Yes n) No (default) y/n>Press Enter for n (No, for personal OneDrive).
    • Save and exit:textCollapseWrapCopye) Edit remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config e/s/q> q
  6. Verify OneDrive connection:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone lsd OneDrive:This should list your OneDrive directories (e.g., Documents). If you see an error (e.g., access denied), share it for troubleshooting. You can also check specific folders:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Documents

Step 2: Install Backup Tools

  1. Log in (if not already):bashCollapseWrapRunCopyssh root@144.91.93.192
  2. Install tools:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt update sudo apt install tar rsync mysql-clientIf using PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install postgresql-client

Step 3: Initial Full Backup

  1. Create backup directories:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir -p ~/backups/full mkdir -p ~/backups/incremental
  2. Back up project files: Replace /var/www/project with your actual project directory (please confirm):bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/project_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/projectTo find your project directory:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "project" 2>/dev/null
  3. Back up the database:
    • For MySQL/MariaDB, replace dbname, dbuser, and dbpass:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    • For PostgreSQL, replace dbname and dbuser:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    To find database details:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root -porbashCollapseWrapRunCopypsql -U postgres
  4. Upload to OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir OneDrive:Backups/Full rclone copy ~/backups/full OneDrive:Backups/Full
  5. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Full

Step 4: Set Up Incremental Backups

  1. Create a backup script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano ~/backup_incremental.shAdd (for MySQL; adjust for PostgreSQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopy#!/bin/bash BACKUP_DIR=~/backups/incremental/files_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S) mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR rsync -av --link-dest=/var/www/project $BACKUP_DIR/ /var/www/project mysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql rclone copy $BACKUP_DIR OneDrive:Backups/Incremental # Clean up backups older than 7 days find ~/backups/incremental -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;Replace /var/www/project with your project directory. For PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql
  2. Make executable:bashCollapseWrapRunCopychmod +x ~/backup_incremental.sh
  3. Test:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy~/backup_incremental.sh
  4. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental

Step 5: Automate Backups

  1. Schedule with cron:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycrontab -eAdd for daily backups at 2 AM:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy0 2 * * * /bin/bash ~/backup_incremental.sh

Step 6: Monitor and Test

  • Check OneDrive: Log in to your Office 365 OneDrive portal (amrit.shahi@ynsra.edu.np) to verify Backups/Full and Backups/Incremental.
  • Test restore:
    • Download:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Full ~/restore
    • Extract:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir ~/restore tar -xzf ~/restore/project_full_*.tar.gz -C ~/restore
    • Restore database (MySQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname < ~/restore/db_full_*.sql

Important Notes

  • Project Directory: Please confirm your project directory (e.g., /var/www/project). Find it with:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "project" 2>/dev/null
  • Database: Confirm your database type (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.) and credentials. Check your app’s config file (e.g., /var/www/project/config/database.php).
  • SharePoint URL: The URL (https://yoginaraharinathstudyresear-my.sharepoint.com/…) suggests your OneDrive is SharePoint-based, which is common for Education accounts. If rclone lsd OneDrive: fails, try reconfiguring with onedrive type (option 1) or consult your institution’s IT admin for the correct SharePoint settings.
  • Secure Credentials: Store database credentials in ~/.my.cnf for MySQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyecho -e "[client]\nuser=dbuser\npassword=dbpass" > ~/.my.cnf chmod 600 ~/.my.cnf

Please confirm your project directory and database details, or share any errors during the rclone lsd OneDrive: verification or backup setup! If the SharePoint URL configuration works, you should be able to proceed with the backups.

The error Failed to query available site by relative path: HTTP error 400 (400 Bad Request) … Resource not found for the segment ‘yoginaraharinathstudyresear-my.sharepoint.com’ indicates that the SharePoint URL you entered (https://yoginaraharinathstudyresear-my.sharepoint.com/personal/amrit_shahi_ynsra_edu_np/Documents) was not accepted by rclone. This is likely because the URL format is incorrect for the url option, which expects a SharePoint site URL (e.g., https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite) rather than a full OneDrive personal document path. Since your Office 365 Education account (amrit.shahi@ynsra.edu.np) uses a SharePoint-based OneDrive, let’s try a different configuration approach to connect to your personal OneDrive. I’ll guide you through selecting the appropriate config_type, completing the rclone setup, and setting up the full and incremental backups for your project files and database to OneDrive. I’ll assume your project files are in /var/www/project and you’re using MySQL/MariaDB (please confirm the directory path and database type if different).

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Reconfigure rclone for OneDrive

Since the SharePoint URL failed, let’s try the onedrive type again, as it’s often the simplest way to access a personal OneDrive in an Education account. If this doesn’t work, we’ll explore other options like searching for the correct SharePoint site.

  1. Choose the connection type: At the prompt:textCollapseWrapCopyOption config_type. Type of connection ... 1 / OneDrive Personal or Business \ (onedrive) ... config_type>Press Enter to select the default (onedrive).
  2. Select the drive ID (if prompted): If rclone lists available drives, it may show the same drive ID as before (b!1JgXAzA2HECd-2VmnIgroyUJRg-uplZMm-_bgqXfZ-Lxw-2SfSVGRYK5iHKU8DJJ). Select it:textCollapseWrapCopyOption config_driveid. Select drive you want to use ... 1 / OneDrive (business) \ (b!1JgXAzA2HECd-2VmnIgroyUJRg-uplZMm-_bgqXfZ-Lxw-2SfSVGRYK5iHKU8DJJ) config_driveid>Enter:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy1
  3. Confirm the drive: If prompted:textCollapseWrapCopyDrive OK? Found drive "root" of type "business" URL: https://yoginaraharinathstudyresear-my.sharepoint.com/personal/amrit_shahi_ynsra_edu_np/Documents y) Yes (default) n) No y/n>Enter:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyy
  4. Complete the configuration:
    • After selecting the drive:textCollapseWrapCopyConfigure this as a Shared Drive (Team Drive)? y) Yes n) No (default) y/n>Press Enter for n (No, for personal OneDrive).
    • Save and exit:textCollapseWrapCopye) Edit remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config e/s/q> q
  5. Verify OneDrive connection:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone lsd OneDrive:This should list your OneDrive directories (e.g., Documents). If you see an error, try the search option (below) or share the error for troubleshooting.
  6. Alternative: Search for SharePoint site: If the onedrive type fails, restart rclone config:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone config
    • Select n for a new remote, name it OneDrive, and choose 30 for Microsoft OneDrive.
    • At the config_type prompt, select:textCollapseWrapCopy4 / Search for a Sharepoint site \ (search) config_type> 4
    • Enter your institution’s SharePoint site name or part of it (e.g., yoginaraharinathstudyresear):textCollapseWrapCopyOption config_search. Search for a Sharepoint site Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default (). config_search> yoginaraharinathstudyresear
    • Select the correct site from the list provided by rclone.
    • Re-authenticate if prompted (use the same token or run rclone authorize “onedrive” on a local machine again).

Step 2: Install Backup Tools

  1. Log in (if not already):bashCollapseWrapRunCopyssh root@144.91.93.192
  2. Install tools:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt update sudo apt install tar rsync mysql-clientIf using PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install postgresql-client

Step 3: Initial Full Backup

  1. Create backup directories:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir -p ~/backups/full mkdir -p ~/backups/incremental
  2. Back up project files: Replace /var/www/project with your actual project directory (please confirm):bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/project_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/projectTo find your project directory:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "project" 2>/dev/null
  3. Back up the database:
    • For MySQL/MariaDB, replace dbname, dbuser, and dbpass:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    • For PostgreSQL, replace dbname and dbuser:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    To find database details:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root -porbashCollapseWrapRunCopypsql -U postgres
  4. Upload to OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir OneDrive:Backups/Full rclone copy ~/backups/full OneDrive:Backups/Full
  5. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Full

Step 4: Set Up Incremental Backups

  1. Create a backup script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano ~/backup_incremental.shAdd (for MySQL; adjust for PostgreSQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopy#!/bin/bash BACKUP_DIR=~/backups/incremental/files_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S) mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR rsync -av --link-dest=/var/www/project $BACKUP_DIR/ /var/www/project mysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql rclone copy $BACKUP_DIR OneDrive:Backups/Incremental # Clean up backups older than 7 days find ~/backups/incremental -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;Replace /var/www/project with your project directory. For PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql
  2. Make executable:bashCollapseWrapRunCopychmod +x ~/backup_incremental.sh
  3. Test:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy~/backup_incremental.sh
  4. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental

Step 5: Automate Backups

  1. Schedule with cron:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycrontab -eAdd for daily backups at 2 AM:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy0 2 * * * /bin/bash ~/backup_incremental.sh

Step 6: Monitor and Test

  • Check OneDrive: Log in to your Office 365 OneDrive portal (amrit.shahi@ynsra.edu.np) to verify Backups/Full and Backups/Incremental.
  • Test restore:
    • Download:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Full ~/restore
    • Extract:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir ~/restore tar -xzf ~/restore/project_full_*.tar.gz -C ~/restore
    • Restore database (MySQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname < ~/restore/db_full_*.sql

Important Notes

  • Project Directory: Please confirm your project directory (e.g., /var/www/project). Find it with:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "project" 2>/dev/null
  • Database: Confirm your database type ctl/MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.) and credentials. Check your app’s config file (e.g., /var/www/project/config/database.php).
  • SharePoint Configuration: If the onedrive type fails again, the search option (4) may help identify the correct SharePoint site. Alternatively, contact your institution’s IT admin to confirm the exact SharePoint site name or URL.
  • Secure Credentials: Store database credentials in ~/.my.cnf for MySQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyecho -e "[client]\nuser=dbuser\npassword=dbpass" > ~/.my.cnf chmod 600 ~/.my.cnf

Please confirm your project directory and database details, or share any errors during the rclone lsd OneDrive: verification or backup setup! If the onedrive type works with the default drive ID, you should be able to proceed with the backups.

root@vmi2624693:~# rclone lsd OneDrive: -1 2025-06-04 13:59:27 0 Microsoft Copilot Chat Files root@vmi2624693:~#

Great news! The output from rclone lsd OneDrive: shows that your OneDrive Education account is successfully connected, listing the directory Microsoft Copilot Chat Files. This confirms that rclone is properly configured to access your OneDrive at https://yoginaraharinathstudyresear-my.sharepoint.com/personal/amrit_shahi_ynsra_edu_np/Documents. Now, I’ll guide you through setting up the full and incremental backups for your project files and database to OneDrive on your Ubuntu server (144.91.93.192). I’ll assume your project files are in /var/www/project and you’re using MySQL/MariaDB, but since you haven’t confirmed these details, please provide the project directory path and database type/credentials to ensure the commands are accurate. If you’re unsure, I’ll include steps to identify them.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Install Backup Tools

  1. Log in (if not already):bashCollapseWrapRunCopyssh root@144.91.93.192
  2. Install tools:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt update sudo apt install tar rsync mysql-clientIf using PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt install postgresql-client

Step 2: Identify Project Directory and Database Details

Since you haven’t confirmed the project directory or database details, let’s find them:

  1. Find your project directory: Run:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "project" 2>/dev/nullThis searches for a directory named project. Common locations include /var/www, /home/user, or /opt. If your project has a different name (e.g., app, website), try:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "<your-project-name>" 2>/dev/nullPlease share the output or confirm the path (e.g., /var/www/project).
  2. Identify database details:
    • Check if MySQL/MariaDB is installed:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql --versionTry logging in:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root -pEnter your root password (or try without a password if unset). List databases:sqlCollapseWrapCopySHOW DATABASES;
    • Check if PostgreSQL is installed:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypsql --versionTry:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypsql -U postgresList databases:sqlCollapseWrapCopy\l
    • If your application uses a config file, check it (e.g., for a PHP app):bashCollapseWrapRunCopygrep -r "mysql\|postgres" /var/www/project/config 2>/dev/nullLook for database name, user, and password in files like database.php or .env. Please share your database type (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), database name, username, and password (or confirm you’ll set them in ~/.my.cnf).

Step 3: Initial Full Backup

  1. Create backup directories:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir -p ~/backups/full mkdir -p ~/backups/incremental
  2. Back up project files: Replace /var/www/project with your actual project directory (use the path from Step 2):bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/project_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/projectIf the directory doesn’t exist, you’ll get an error. Update the path and retry.
  3. Back up the database:
    • For MySQL/MariaDB, replace dbname, dbuser, and dbpass with your details:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
    • For PostgreSQL, replace dbname and dbuser:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > ~/backups/full/db_full_$(date +%F).sql
  4. Upload to OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir OneDrive:Backups/Full rclone copy ~/backups/full OneDrive:Backups/Full
  5. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/FullYou should see files like project_full_2025-06-29.tar.gz and db_full_2025-06-29.sql.

Step 4: Set Up Incremental Backups

  1. Create a backup script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano ~/backup_incremental.shAdd (for MySQL; adjust for PostgreSQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopy#!/bin/bash BACKUP_DIR=~/backups/incremental/files_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S) mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR rsync -av --link-dest=/var/www/project /var/www/project $BACKUP_DIR/ mysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql rclone copy $BACKUP_DIR OneDrive:Backups/Incremental # Clean up backups older than 7 days find ~/backups/incremental -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;
    • Replace /var/www/project with your project directory.
    • Replace dbuser, dbpass, and dbname with your database details.
    • For PostgreSQL, replace the mysqldump line with:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypg_dump -U dbuser dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql
  2. Make executable:bashCollapseWrapRunCopychmod +x ~/backup_incremental.sh
  3. Test:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy~/backup_incremental.sh
  4. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental

Step 5: Automate Backups

  1. Schedule with cron:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycrontab -eAdd for daily backups at 2 AM (local time, +0545):bashCollapseWrapRunCopy0 2 * * * /bin/bash ~/backup_incremental.sh

Step 6: Monitor and Test

  • Check OneDrive: Log in to your OneDrive portal (amrit.shahi@ynsra.edu.np) to verify Backups/Full and Backups/Incremental.
  • Test restore:
    • Download:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Full ~/restore
    • Extract:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir ~/restore tar -xzf ~/restore/project_full_*.tar.gz -C ~/restore
    • Restore database (MySQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u dbuser -p'dbpass' dbname < ~/restore/db_full_*.sqlFor PostgreSQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopypsql -U dbuser dbname < ~/restore/db_full_*.sql

Step 7: Secure Database Credentials

To avoid hardcoding credentials in the script:

  1. Create a config file (for MySQL):bashCollapseWrapRunCopyecho -e "[client]\nuser=dbuser\npassword=dbpass" > ~/.my.cnf chmod 600 ~/.my.cnfUpdate the script to remove the -p’dbpass’ part:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u dbuser dbname > $BACKUP_DIR/db_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql

Important Notes

  • Project Directory: Please confirm your project directory. If /var/www/project is incorrect, share the output of:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyfind / -type d -name "project" 2>/dev/nullor specify your project’s name for a targeted search.
  • Database: Confirm your database type (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), name, user, and password. If unsure, check your application’s config file (e.g., /var/www/project/.env or config/database.php).
  • OneDrive Storage: Your OneDrive is SharePoint-based (yoginaraharinathstudyresear-my.sharepoint.com). If you encounter storage limits, check usage:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone size OneDrive:
  • Errors: If any backup commands fail (e.g., directory not found, database access denied), share the error messages.

Please provide:

  1. Your project directory path.
  2. Your database type and credentials (or confirm you’ll set them in ~/.my.cnf).
  3. Any errors during backup or verification.

With rclone now working, you’re close to having a complete backup solution! Let me know the details or any issues.

root@vmi2624693:/var/www/ynsra# ls website website.zip this need to backup as directory of project Type ‘help;’ or ‘\h’ for help. Type ‘\c’ to clear the current input statement. mysql> show databases; +——————–+ | Database | +——————–+ | clms | | information_schema | | madan_bhandari_db | | manikej | | mysql | | performance_schema | | sys | | wordpress_db | | ynsra_website | +——————–+ 9 rows in set (0.03 sec) mysql> ynsra_website database need to backup

Thank you for providing the project directory and database details. Your project directory is /var/www/ynsra/website (confirmed by the ls output showing website and website.zip), and the database to back up is ynsra_website (MySQL/MariaDB). I’ll guide you through setting up full and incremental backups for the /var/www/ynsra/website directory and the ynsra_website database to your OneDrive Education account, which is already configured with rclone on your Ubuntu server (144.91.93.192). Since you’re logged into MySQL as root, I’ll assume you have the root password or can set up credentials in ~/.my.cnf for secure access. If you’re using a different MySQL user or password, please confirm.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Install Backup Tools

  1. Log in (if not already):bashCollapseWrapRunCopyssh root@144.91.93.192
  2. Install tools (if not already installed):bashCollapseWrapRunCopysudo apt update sudo apt install tar rsync mysql-client

Step 2: Secure Database Credentials

To avoid hardcoding the MySQL password in scripts:

  1. Create ~/.my.cnf:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyecho -e "[client]\nuser=root\npassword=your_mysql_root_password" > ~/.my.cnf chmod 600 ~/.my.cnfReplace your_mysql_root_password with the actual MySQL root password. If using a different user (e.g., ynsra_user), update user and password accordingly.
  2. Test MySQL access:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u root ynsra_website > /tmp/test.sqlIf this fails, confirm the credentials and update ~/.my.cnf. Delete the test file:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrm /tmp/test.sql

Step 3: Initial Full Backup

  1. Create backup directories:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir -p ~/backups/full mkdir -p ~/backups/incremental
  2. Back up project files: Back up the /var/www/ynsra/website directory:bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/website_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/ynsra/website
  3. Back up the ynsra_website database:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u root ynsra_website > ~/backups/full/ynsra_website_full_$(date +%F).sqlIf you’re not using ~/.my.cnf, add -p’your_mysql_root_password’ after -u root.
  4. Upload to OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir OneDrive:Backups/Full rclone copy ~/backups/full OneDrive:Backups/Full
  5. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/FullYou should see files like website_full_2025-06-29.tar.gz and ynsra_website_full_2025-06-29.sql.

Step 4: Set Up Incremental Backups

  1. Create a backup script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano ~/backup_incremental.shAdd:

backup_incremental.sh

x-shellscriptShow inline

  • If not using ~/.my.cnf, replace the mysqldump line with:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u root -p'your_mysql_root_password' ynsra_website > $BACKUP_DIR/ynsra_website_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql
  1. Make executable:bashCollapseWrapRunCopychmod +x ~/backup_incremental.sh
  2. Test:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy~/backup_incremental.sh
  3. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental

Step 5: Automate Backups

  1. Schedule with cron:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycrontab -eAdd for daily backups at 2 AM (local time, +0545):bashCollapseWrapRunCopy0 2 * * * /bin/bash ~/backup_incremental.sh

Step 6: Monitor and Test

  • Check OneDrive: Log in to your OneDrive portal (amrit.shahi@ynsra.edu.np) to verify Backups/Full and Backups/Incremental.
  • Test restore:
    • Download:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Full ~/restore
    • Extract:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir ~/restore tar -xzf ~/restore/website_full_*.tar.gz -C ~/restore
    • Restore database:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root ynsra_website < ~/restore/ynsra_website_full_*.sqlIf not using ~/.my.cnf, add -p’your_mysql_root_password’.

Step 7: Check OneDrive Storage

To ensure you have enough space:

bashCollapseWrapRunCopy

rclone size OneDrive:

Important Notes

  • MySQL Credentials: If you’re using a different MySQL user (not root) or encounter access issues, share the error or confirm the user/password. Update ~/.my.cnf as needed.
  • Project Directory: The directory /var/www/ynsra/website is confirmed. If you want to exclude website.zip, modify the tar and rsync commands:
    • Full backup:bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/website_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz --exclude=website.zip /var/www/ynsra/website
    • Incremental backup script: Add –exclude=website.zip to the rsync line:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrsync -av --exclude=website.zip --link-dest=/var/www/ynsra/website /var/www/ynsra/website $BACKUP_DIR/
  • Errors: If any commands fail (e.g., mysqldump access denied, rclone upload issues), share the error messages.
  • OneDrive Path: Your OneDrive is SharePoint-based (yoginaraharinathstudyresear-my.sharepoint.com). If you need to back up to a specific folder, adjust the rclone commands (e.g., OneDrive:Documents/Backups/Full).

Please confirm:

  1. Your MySQL user and password (or if ~/.my.cnf is set).
  2. Whether to exclude website.zip from backups.
  3. Any errors during backup or verification.

You’re almost done! With the script and cron job, your backups should run automatically. Let me know if you hit any issues or need further tweaks.

Thank you for sharing the terminal output. It looks like you’ve made progress with the rclone setup for your OneDrive Education account on your Ubuntu server (144.91.93.192), and the full backup for the project directory (/var/www/ynsra/website) and the ynsra_website database was successful, as evidenced by the files website_full_2025-06-29.tar.gz and ynsra_website_full_2025-06-29.sql appearing in ~/backups/full. However, there are a few issues to address:

  1. Incremental Backup Directory Issue: The rclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental command failed with directory not found, indicating that the Backups/Incremental folder doesn’t exist on OneDrive because the incremental backup script hasn’t run yet or failed.
  2. Typographical Errors: Commands like cdf and cd i were mistyped. You meant cd full/ and cd incremental/.
  3. Deleted Full Backup Files: You ran sudo rm * in ~/backups/full, deleting the local backup files. However, they were uploaded to OneDrive before deletion.
  4. Cron Job Setup: You opened crontab -e but didn’t confirm if the cron job was added.
  5. Database Credentials: The mysqldump command worked without a password, suggesting ~/.my.cnf is configured or the root user has no password. We’ll secure this.
  6. Restore Test: You copied files from OneDrive:Backups/Full to ~/restore, but we need to verify the contents and test restoration.

I’ll fix these issues, guide you through running and verifying the incremental backup, securing credentials, and completing the setup. The project directory is /var/www/ynsra/website, and the database is ynsra_website (MySQL). Let’s proceed.

Step-by-Step Guide to Fix and Complete Setup

Step 1: Verify Full Backup on OneDrive

  1. Check OneDrive contents:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/FullYou should see:textCollapseWrapCopywebsite_full_2025-06-29.tar.gz ynsra_website_full_2025-06-29.sqlIf not, re-upload the backups (if you have copies elsewhere) or recreate them (Step 2).
  2. Verify restore directory: You ran rclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Full ~/restore. Check:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyls ~/restoreIf you see website_full_2025-06-29.tar.gz and ynsra_website_full_2025-06-29.sql, proceed to test restoration:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir ~/restore/test tar -xzf ~/restore/website_full_2025-06-29.tar.gz -C ~/restore/test ls ~/restore/test/var/www/ynsra/websiteFor the database:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE test_restore;" mysql -u root test_restore < ~/restore/ynsra_website_full_2025-06-29.sql mysql -u root -e "SHOW TABLES IN test_restore;"If these work, your full backup is restorable. Clean up:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root -e "DROP DATABASE test_restore;" rm -rf ~/restore/test

Step 2: Recreate Full Backup (if needed)

Since you deleted the local files in ~/backups/full:

  1. Back up project files:bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/website_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/ynsra/website
  2. Back up database:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u root ynsra_website > ~/backups/full/ynsra_website_full_$(date +%F).sql
  3. Upload to OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir OneDrive:Backups/Full rclone copy ~/backups/full OneDrive:Backups/Full
  4. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Full

Step 3: Fix and Run Incremental Backup

The rclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental error indicates the Incremental folder wasn’t created because the script hasn’t run successfully. Let’s verify and fix the script.

  1. Check the script: You created ~/backup_incremental.sh. View it:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycat ~/backup_incremental.shEnsure it matches:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy#!/bin/bash BACKUP_DIR=~/backups/incremental/files_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S) mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR rsync -av --link-dest=/var/www/ynsra/website /var/www/ynsra/website $BACKUP_DIR/ mysqldump -u root ynsra_website > $BACKUP_DIR/ynsra_website_incremental_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).sql rclone copy $BACKUP_DIR OneDrive:Backups/Incremental # Clean up backups older than 7 days find ~/backups/incremental -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;If incorrect, edit it:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano ~/backup_incremental.shPaste the above and save (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X).
  2. Test the script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy~/backup_incremental.sh
  3. Verify on OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/IncrementalYou should see a folder like files_2025-06-29_XX-XX-XX containing the website files and a file like ynsra_website_incremental_2025-06-29_XX-XX-XX.sql. If you get directory not found, ensure the script ran without errors:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyls ~/backups/incrementalShare any errors.

Step 4: Secure Database Credentials

Your mysqldump worked without a password, suggesting ~/.my.cnf is set or the root user has no password (less secure). To confirm:

  1. Check ~/.my.cnf:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycat ~/.my.cnfIt should look like:textCollapseWrapCopy[client] user=root password=your_mysql_root_passwordIf missing, create it:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyecho -e "[client]\nuser=root\npassword=your_mysql_root_password" > ~/.my.cnf chmod 600 ~/.my.cnfReplace your_mysql_root_password with the actual password. If no password, set one:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_secure_password';Update ~/.my.cnf with the new password.

Step 5: Confirm Cron Job

You opened crontab -e but didn’t confirm the entry. Verify:

bashCollapseWrapRunCopy

crontab -l

It should show:

textCollapseWrapCopy

0 2 * * * /bin/bash ~/backup_incremental.sh

If missing, add it:

bashCollapseWrapRunCopy

crontab -e

Select nano (option 1), add the line above, and save (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X).

Step 6: Monitor and Test

  • Check OneDrive: Log in to amrit.shahi@ynsra.edu.np on the OneDrive portal to verify Backups/Full and Backups/Incremental.
  • Check storage:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone size OneDrive:
  • Test incremental restore:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Incremental ~/restore ls ~/restoreRestore the latest database:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE test_incremental;" mysql -u root test_incremental < ~/restore/files_*/ynsra_website_incremental_*.sql mysql -u root -e "SHOW TABLES IN test_incremental;" mysql -u root -e "DROP DATABASE test_incremental;"

Step 7: Address website.zip

Your project directory (/var/www/ynsra) contains website.zip. To exclude it from backups:

  1. Full backup:bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf ~/backups/full/website_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz --exclude=website.zip /var/www/ynsra/website
  2. Update incremental script: Edit ~/backup_incremental.sh:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano ~/backup_incremental.shModify the rsync line:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrsync -av --exclude=website.zip --link-dest=/var/www/ynsra/website /var/www/ynsra/website $BACKUP_DIR/

Issues Fixed

  • Incremental Backup: The Backups/Incremental folder wasn’t created because the script hadn’t run. Testing it will fix this.
  • Typographical Errors: cdf and cd i were mistakes. Use cd full/ or cd incremental/.
  • Deleted Files: Recreate and re-upload full backups if needed.
  • Cron Job: Ensure it’s added correctly.
  • Credentials: Secure the MySQL root user with ~/.my.cnf.

Important Notes

  • Confirm Credentials: Share if ~/.my.cnf is set or if you’re using a different MySQL user/password.
  • Errors: If the incremental backup script or rclone commands fail, share the error messages.
  • Cron Job: Verify the cron job is scheduled.
  • Storage: Monitor OneDrive storage to avoid limits.

Please:

  1. Run the incremental backup script and share the output of rclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental.
  2. Confirm if ~/.my.cnf is set or provide MySQL credentials.
  3. Verify the cron job (crontab -l).
  4. Share any errors or confirm success.

You’re very close to a complete backup solution! Let me know the results or any issues.

use following folder please root@vmi2624693:~/backups/full# cd .. root@vmi2624693:~/backups# ls full incremental root@vmi2624693:~/backups# pwd /root/backups root@vmi2624693:~/backups#

Thank you for confirming the backup directory /root/backups, which contains full and incremental subdirectories. Your project directory is /var/www/ynsra/website, and the database to back up is ynsra_website (MySQL). The full backup was successful previously, but you deleted the local files in /root/backups/full and need to ensure the incremental backup and cron job are set up correctly. The rclone command for OneDrive:Backups/Incremental failed because the directory wasn’t created, likely due to the incremental backup script not running successfully. I’ll guide you through recreating the full backup, fixing and running the incremental backup, securing MySQL credentials, and verifying the cron job to back up to your OneDrive Education account (amrit.shahi@ynsra.edu.np) on your Ubuntu server (144.91.93.192). I’ll use /root/backups as the backup directory and exclude website.zip from backups as discussed.

Your previous mysqldump command (mysqldump -u root ynsra_website) worked without a password, suggesting either no password is set for the MySQL root user or ~/.my.cnf is configured. To secure credentials:

  1. Check ~/.my.cnf:bashCollapseWrapRunCopycat ~/.my.cnfIt should look like:textCollapseWrapCopy[client] user=root password=your_mysql_root_passwordIf it exists and is correct, proceed. If not, create it:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyecho -e "[client]\nuser=root\npassword=your_mysql_root_password" > ~/.my.cnf chmod 600 ~/.my.cnfReplace your_mysql_root_password with the actual password. If no password is set:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_secure_password';Update ~/.my.cnf with the new password.
  2. Test MySQL access:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u root ynsra_website > /tmp/test.sql rm /tmp/test.sqlIf this fails, share the error and confirm your MySQL credentials.

Step 2: Recreate Full Backup

Since you deleted the local files in /root/backups/full, let’s recreate and upload them.

  1. Back up project files (excluding website.zip):bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf /root/backups/full/website_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz --exclude=website.zip /var/www/ynsra/website
  2. Back up the ynsra_website database:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u root ynsra_website > /root/backups/full/ynsra_website_full_$(date +%F).sql
  3. Upload to OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir OneDrive:Backups/Full rclone copy /root/backups/full OneDrive:Backups/Full
  4. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/FullYou should see:textCollapseWrapCopywebsite_full_2025-06-29.tar.gz ynsra_website_full_2025-06-29.sql

Step 3: Fix and Run Incremental Backup

The OneDrive:Backups/Incremental directory doesn’t exist because the incremental backup script hasn’t run successfully. Let’s ensure the script is correct and test it.

  1. Update the incremental backup script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano /root/backup_incremental.shEnsure it contains:

backup_incremental.sh

x-shellscriptShow inline

Save (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X).

  1. Make executable:bashCollapseWrapRunCopychmod +x /root/backup_incremental.sh
  2. Test the script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy/root/backup_incremental.sh
  3. Verify on OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/IncrementalYou should see a folder like files_2025-06-29_XX-XX-XX containing website files and a file like ynsra_website_incremental_2025-06-29_XX-XX-XX.sql. If you get directory not found or other errors, share the output of:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyls -l /root/backups/incremental /root/backup_incremental.sh

Step 4: Verify Cron Job

You opened crontab -e but didn’t confirm the entry. Check:

bashCollapseWrapRunCopy

crontab -l

It should show:

textCollapseWrapCopy

0 2 * * * /bin/bash /root/backup_incremental.sh

If missing, add it:

bashCollapseWrapRunCopy

crontab -e

Select nano (option 1), add the line above, and save (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X).

Step 5: Test Restore

  1. Download backups:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Full /root/restore
  2. Verify restore directory:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyls /root/restore
  3. Test file restore:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymkdir /root/restore/test tar -xzf /root/restore/website_full_*.tar.gz -C /root/restore/test ls /root/restore/test/var/www/ynsra/website
  4. Test database restore:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE test_restore;" mysql -u root test_restore < /root/restore/ynsra_website_full_*.sql mysql -u root -e "SHOW TABLES IN test_restore;" mysql -u root -e "DROP DATABASE test_restore;"
  5. Test incremental restore (after running the script):bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone copy OneDrive:Backups/Incremental /root/restore mysql -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE test_incremental;" mysql -u root test_incremental < /root/restore/files_*/ynsra_website_incremental_*.sql mysql -u root -e "SHOW TABLES IN test_incremental;" mysql -u root -e "DROP DATABASE test_incremental;"

Step 6: Monitor and Check Storage

  • Check OneDrive: Log in to amrit.shahi@ynsra.edu.np on the OneDrive portal to verify Backups/Full and Backups/Incremental.
  • Check storage:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone size OneDrive:

Issues Fixed

  1. Incremental Backup: Updated the script to use /root/backups and exclude website.zip. Testing it should create OneDrive:Backups/Incremental.
  2. Deleted Files: Recreated full backups to ensure local and OneDrive copies.
  3. Typographical Errors: Noted cdf and cd i were mistakes; use cd full/ or cd incremental/.
  4. Cron Job: Ensured the cron job is added correctly.
  5. Credentials: Secured MySQL credentials with ~/.my.cnf.

Important Notes

  • MySQL Credentials: Confirm if ~/.my.cnf is set or provide the MySQL root password if needed. If using a different user, update the script and ~/.my.cnf.
  • Exclude website.zip: The –exclude=website.zip flag ensures it’s not backed up.
  • Errors: Share any errors from running /root/backup_incremental.sh or rclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental.
  • Cron Job: Verify the cron job is set to automate backups.

Please:

  1. Run /root/backup_incremental.sh and share the output of rclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental.
  2. Confirm if ~/.my.cnf is set or provide MySQL credentials.
  3. Verify the cron job with crontab -l.
  4. Share any errors or confirm success.

Your backup system is nearly complete! Let me know the results or any issues.

tere is no password in mysql

Thank you for confirming that your MySQL root user has no password, which explains why mysqldump -u root ynsra_website worked without a password prompt. This is a security risk, so I’ll guide you to set a secure password for the MySQL root user and update the backup configuration accordingly. You’ve confirmed the project directory as /var/www/ynsra/website and the backup directory as /root/backups, with the ynsra_website database for backup. The full backup was successful, but the incremental backup script needs to be tested and the cron job verified. I’ll also ensure website.zip is excluded from backups and address the previous rclone ls OneDrive:Backups/Incremental error (directory not found). The setup will use your OneDrive Education account (amrit.shahi@ynsra.edu.np) on your Ubuntu server (144.91.93.192). The current date and time are June 29, 2025, 18:45 +0545.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Secure MySQL Root User

Since your MySQL root user has no password, let’s set one to improve security.

  1. Log in to MySQL:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysql -u root
  2. Set a password:sqlCollapseWrapCopyALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_secure_password'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT;Replace new_secure_password with a strong password (e.g., a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols).
  3. Create ~/.my.cnf for secure access:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyecho -e "[client]\nuser=root\npassword=new_secure_password" > ~/.my.cnf chmod 600 ~/.my.cnfReplace new_secure_password with the password you set.
  4. Test MySQL access:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u root ynsra_website > /tmp/test.sql rm /tmp/test.sqlIf this fails with an access denied error, double-check the password in ~/.my.cnf or share the error.

Step 2: Recreate Full Backup

Since you previously deleted the local files in /root/backups/full, let’s recreate and upload them to OneDrive.

  1. Back up project files (excluding website.zip):bashCollapseWrapRunCopytar -czf /root/backups/full/website_full_$(date +%F).tar.gz --exclude=website.zip /var/www/ynsra/website
  2. Back up the ynsra_website database:bashCollapseWrapRunCopymysqldump -u root ynsra_website > /root/backups/full/ynsra_website_full_$(date +%F).sql
  3. Upload to OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone mkdir OneDrive:Backups/Full rclone copy /root/backups/full OneDrive:Backups/Full
  4. Verify:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/FullExpect to see:textCollapseWrapCopywebsite_full_2025-06-29.tar.gz ynsra_website_full_2025-06-29.sql

Step 3: Fix and Run Incremental Backup

The OneDrive:Backups/Incremental directory wasn’t found because the incremental backup script hasn’t run successfully. Let’s ensure the script is correct and test it.

  1. Update the incremental backup script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopynano /root/backup_incremental.shEnsure it contains:

backup_incremental.sh

x-shellscriptShow inline

Save (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X).

  1. Make executable:bashCollapseWrapRunCopychmod +x /root/backup_incremental.sh
  2. Test the script:bashCollapseWrapRunCopy/root/backup_incremental.sh
  3. Verify on OneDrive:bashCollapseWrapRunCopyrclone ls OneDrive:Backups/IncrementalYou should see a folder like files_2025-06-29_XX-XX-XX with website files and a file like `ynsra_website_incremental_2025-06-29
