# Personal Data Backup and Recovery
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
This repo contains scripts and instructions for backing up and recovering your personal data stored in applications and cloud services.
|
|
|
|
> [!Note]
|
|
> The master backup drive contains all backups along with some historical backups
|
|
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](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.
