You may use the SCP command, first, you may create a shell script named “backup.sh” under “/var/lib/ombutel/scripts” with the following content
#!/bin/bash
set -e
scp -r /var/lib/ombutel/static/backups/c4cablahblahblah remote_username@10.10.0.2:/remote/directory
After create the script you must give it execution permissions:
chmod +x backup.sh
Now, go to “/etc/cron.d” and create a file named “external-backup” with the following content:
0 0 * * 0 root /var/lib/ombutel/scripts/backup.sh
Save the file and restart the crond service
systemctl restart crond.service
With all these steps you will be able to copy backups to an external server every day at midnight
