Media Files Backup (MFB)

Backup your pictures and videos files in an easy and fast way.

General information

The media files (images and videos) should respect the following naming convention:

• [IMG|VID]_YYYYMMDD[X].[jpg|mp4]

Where:

• YYYY the year

• DD the month

• MM the day

• X any other characters

This is usually the case for digital cameras and phones.

Installation and Getting Started

Configuration

Run the provided script to set up the directories structure.

MFB_HOME=/opt/mfb ./backend/bin/generate_config.sh

Those directories will contain:

• The devices configuration file (devices.json)

• The git repository used by mfb-config (configuration of the rest service)

• The mount points for the source and target devices

Define the mount points

Example:

Source device

mount -s /media/a/b/c/DCIM $MFB_HOME/device/myphone

Target device

moutn -s /media/x/y/z/My_Phone_Media_Files $MFB_HOME/device/external_ssd_1TB

Note that, myphone and external_ssd_1TB are defined in $MFB_HOME/conf/devices.json as devices ID’s.
