Mount Example
This example shows HashBackup creating and maintaining a deduped & encrypted remote file system mounted locally as a regular filesystem via FUSE. This example is with rsync.net, though the same basic steps apply to any HashBackup destination.
1. Copy ssh public key to rsync.net server:
[jim@mb]$ scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub XXXX@usw-s002.rsync.net:.ssh/authorized_keys
Password:
id_rsa.pub 100% 392 0.4KB/s 00:002. Create a local HashBackup backup directory:
[jim@mb]$ hb init -c hb
HashBackup build 1070 Copyright 2009-2013 HashBackup, LLC
Backup directory: /Users/jim/hb
Permissions set for owner access only
Created key file /Users/jim/hb/key.conf
Key file set to read-only
Setting include/exclude defaults: /Users/jim/hb/inex.conf
VERY IMPORTANT: your backup is encrypted and can only be accessed with
the encryption key, stored in the file:
/Users/jim/hb/key.conf
You MUST make copies of this file and store them in a secure location,
separate from your computer and backup data. If your hard drive fails,
you will need this key to restore your files. If you setup any
remote destinations in dest.conf, that file should be copied too.
Backup directory initialized3. Create a dest.conf file in the backup directory:
[jim@mb]$ cat - >hb/dest.conf
destname rsyncnet
type rsync
dir NNNN@usw-s002.rsync.net:
password XYZZY
^d (Ctrl d to exit)4. Enable dedup using up to 1GB of memory:
[jim@mb]$ hb config -c hb dedup-mem 1g
hashbackup build 1070 Copyright 2009-2013 HashBackup, LLC
Backup directory: /Users/jim/hb
Current config version: 0

Set dedup-mem to 1g (was 0)5. Create a test file, 10 x 10k random blocks
[jim@mb]$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=ran10k bs=10k count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
10240 bytes transferred in 0.001602 secs (6392272 bytes/sec)

[jim@mb]$ ls -l test100k
-rw-r--r-- 1 jim staff 102400 Oct 15 14:20 test100k6. Backup the test file:
[jim@mb]$ hb backup -c hb test100k

[jim@mb]$ ls -l test200k
