      Swiss Backup: backing up a Linux server with rClone

      This guide explains how to back up a server equipped with the Linux distribution of your choice using the Swiss Backup solution by Infomaniak.

      1. Adding a "Linux/Windows Server" type device

      It is first necessary to add a Linux/Windows Server type device before being able to configure the backup.

      2. Configuring server backup with rClone

      1. Install the rClone app via the package manager of your distribution
      2. Download the rClone file received via email when the device was added
      3. Place the file in the ~/.rclone.conf.config/rclone/ directory or place the contents of the file at the end of the existing ~/.rclone.conf.config/rclone/rclone.conf file (in debian stretch, this file is found in the following location: ~/.rclone.conf)
      4. Execute the rclone config command to check that the configuration has gone through
      5. Launch the backup using rclone sync/local/path project_name:default 

      If necessary, you can find the login information in your Manager.

      3. Example of rClone configuration 

      [sb_project_SBI-AB123456]
      type = swift
      user = SBI-AB123456
      key = [password]
      auth(1) = https ://swiss-backup02.infomaniak.com/identity/v3
      domain = default
      tenant = sb_project_SBI-AB123456
      tenant_domain = default
      region = RegionOne
      storage_url =
      auth_version =

      Note (1): if your Swiss Backup device was made before October 2020, you will need to use the following URL for authorisation: https ://swiss-backup.infomaniak.com/identity/v3

      You can edit [sb_project_SBI-AB123456] with the indication of your choice for greater simplicity.

      For example, the indication [swissbackup] will yield:

      rclone sync /local/folder swissbackup:remote/folder

      instead of:

      rclone sync /local/folder sb_project_SBI-AB123456:remote/folder

      4. Start a backup or restoration

      It is possible to start a backup with the following command:

      rclone sync /local/folder sb_project_SBI-AB123456:remote/folder

      It is possible to start a restoration with the following command:

      rclone sync sb_project_SBI-AB123456:remote/folder /local/folder
