This repo contains scripts and instructions for backing up and recovering your personal data stored in applications and cloud services.

Each thumb drive located in Matt and Jennifer's vehicle contain only the latest backup, excluding photos.
## Process Overview
1. Create a backup of each service / product.
* [Bitwarden](Bitwarden.md)
* [[Bookmarks]]
* [[Google Calendar]]
* [[Google Contacts]]
* [[Google Drive]]
2. Ensure all backups of the services above are placed into the "backup" folder located in Matt's home directory (or the directory of your choice).
3. Connect the master backup drive, that is kept in the safe, to the computer.
4. Copy all backups to the master backup drive.
5. Delete any historical backups on the master backup pdrive according to the [[#Backup Retention]].
> [!attention] Some backups should not be deleted.
6. Remove the master backup drive and place it back into the safe.
7. Connect the thumb drive located in Jennifer's SUV to the computer.
8. Delete all current backups on the thumb drive.
9. Copy all backups, except photos, to the thumb drive.
10. Remove the thumb drive and place it back in Jennifer's SUV
11. Connect the thumb drive located in Matt's truck to the computer.
12. Delete all current backups on the thumb drive.
13. Copy all backups, except photos, to the thumb drive.
14. Remove the thumb drive and place it back in Matt's truck.
* [Bitwarden](docs/Bitwarden.md)
* [Bookmarks](docs/Bookmarks.md)
* [Google Calendar](docs/Calendar.md)
* [Google Contacts](docs/Contacts.md)
* [Google Drive](docs/Drive.md)
2. Ensure all backups of the services above are placed into a *backup* folder. I suggest creating a folder named backup and placing everything you backup in that one location. This will make it easier to transfer the files in a later step.
3. Connect to your backup share.
4. Copy the contents of your local backup folder to the backup share.
