Send backup via e-mail
======================

[⬅️ Go back to main README](../README.md)

> ℹ️ **Info**: This script can not be used on its own but requires the base
> installation. See [main README](../README.md) for details.

Description
-----------

This script sends binary backup (`/system/backup/save`) and complete
configuration export (`/export terse show-sensitive`) via e-mail.

Requirements and installation
-----------------------------

Just install the script and the required module:

    $ScriptInstallUpdate mod/notification-email,backup-email;

Also make sure you configure
[sending notifications via e-mail](mod/notification-email.md).

Configuration
-------------

The configuration goes to `global-config-overlay`, these are the parameters:

* `BackupSendBinary`: whether to send binary backup
* `BackupSendExport`: whether to send configuration export
* `BackupSendGlobalConfig`: whether to send `global-config-overlay`
* `BackupPassword`: password to encrypt the backup with
* `BackupRandomDelay`: delay up to amount of seconds when run from scheduler

> ℹ️ **Info**: Copy relevant configuration from
> [`global-config`](../global-config.rsc) (the one without `-overlay`) to
> your local `global-config-overlay` and modify it to your specific needs.

Usage and invocation
--------------------

Just run the script:

    /system/script/run backup-email;

Creating a scheduler may be an option:

    /system/scheduler/add interval=1w name=backup-email on-event="/system/script/run backup-email;" start-time=09:15:00;
