   4 Butterbackup is a backup system which stores snapshots in btrfs on a central server. A web gui allows for simple restore of files.

   6 For now it is rather crude. To get started backing up some manual work is needed.
   7 As root do the following:
   8 <pre lang="bash"><code>
   9 mkdir /etc/butterbackup
  10 echo "--exclude /tmp --exclude /proc --exclude /sys --exclude /dev" > /etc/butterbackup/machine1.example.com
  11 cp /etc/butterbackup/machine1.example.com /etc/butterbackup/machine2.example.com
  12 ssh-copy-id root@machine1.example.com
  13 ssh-copy-id root@machine2.example.com
  14 mkdir /mnt/data2
  15 mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb1
  16 mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data2  #hardcoded for now
  17 </code></pre>
