zbackup(5)

✨ NAME ✨

zbackup — the versatile deduplicating backup tool, bestie 💖 (yes this is the zbackup(5) file formats manual, we're doing the password file today)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so real talk: this page is literally all about how to generate the password file. That's it. That's the whole mission. No cap. 🫶

🎀 STEPS 🎀

1. First things first, open up a terminal and run this:

echo mypassword > ~/.my_backup_password

2. Then lock it down, because permissions are the vibe check nobody should fail:

chmod 600 ~/.my_backup_password

That sets the correct permissions — see chmod(1) for the deets if you wanna go deeper. 🔥

🦋 ENVIRONMENTS 🦋

• mypassword — Your password that you want to use for encrpying the backup repository and encrpyt/decrpyting the backup files. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• chmod (1)

ngl, keep that password file safe and keep those permissions at 600, fr fr. It's giving main character energy and we're obsessed. 💜
