First script attempt......Bitwarden backup

[BeardedNoir]

Hello all, 

 

I use the appdata backup pluggin for all my apps, however I want to make double sure that I have no issues retrieving my passwords for Bitwarden in the event of a system failure. 

 

As such, would the following script work in backing up my Bitwarden passwords to G-Suite via Rclone crypt (I'll set it to run daily);

 

sudo docker stop bitwardenrs
rclone copy /mnt/user/appdata/bitwarden/ GoogleDriveBackupCrypt:unraid/Bitwarden_Backup
sudo docker start bitwardenrs

 

This is my first attempt at any sort of script that I haven't simply copied and pasted from a tutorial.

 

Many thanks. 

 

***Edit***

It works, well when I press "run in background" anyway, so should be ok running via schedule. 

 

It's the simplest script I think you could run, but I'm quietly pleased I managed it myself. 😂

Hello, I am interested in bitwarden backup as well. Does this scrtipt actually back up everything? Included atachements? Did you try to recover your backup? Did it work?

This is a nice idea!

 

I'm going to try to pad it out a little more to answer the questions about what's backed up, and setting up cron jobs to do it on a scheduled but it's deffo I great starting point for anyone who wants an application aware backup of their bitwarden / vaultwarden vault!

Unraid uses the root user. There should be no reason for sudo in your commands.

Good to hear that the back-up process works for you. Just out of curiosity, did you actually try to recover that back-up into freshly new bw install, to make sure the back-up can be restored including all user accounts, and their data?

Hello all, 

 

In the end I decided to use the free option that Bitwarden provides and backup to their servers. I didn't want to run the risk of needing to gain access to my server and there being a connection issue.
