Phase-2: Local Backup Stage

  • This stage’s main role is to take the data from the local storage and send the data to the local backup device

  • Here, we are using a Raspberry Pi 4 as the Local Backup Device

  • So the data from the Laptop/PC is sent to the Raspberry Pi using SSH (over the local network) automatically

  • To achieve this, Task Scheduler in windows is used to run a script using Windows Subsystem for Linux

  • For Synchronizing content from the main computer to Raspberry Pi, a tool called rsync is used which uses ssh protocol to send information from one system to another

  • The local backup is made more redundant deploying software-based RAID Controller on Raspberry Pi. This increases the redundancy and performance of the storage
