urBackup Appliance Fun
Here’s some fun stuff to learn about the urbackup appliance
By default there is no firewall, but it’s locked down so one’s not needed, but I installed one anyway
You should be able to sudo su - from the admin user, if not; shut the appliance down, then in grub hit e, then add init=/bin/bash at the end of the line that says quiet, then CTRL+X to boot, then echo 'admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL' > /etc/sudoers.
urBackup Appliance on ServerCheap
This is still a WIP. Prepare image Download Appliance
Unzip unzip urbackup-app-10-0.img.zip
Now upload unzipped image somewhere public. Backblaze/S3 would be a great use for this
Write image to disk in ServerCheap.net Create new instance
Shutdown new instance
Enable Rescue Mode
SSH into rescued device using creds given
Install required software apt update; apt install curl
Download image and burn to disk curl https://URL-TO-FILE/urbackup-system-disk.img | dd of=/dev/vda
You should now be able to disable rescue mode and boot it up

Install Duplicati as Windows Service
Here’s how to install Duplicati as a Windows Service
Download Duplicati from HERE
During install don’t mark Auto Start up option
Open CMD as admin
Navigate to the installation folder in CMD (this should be the same as long as you left it as default) cd "C:\Program Files\Duplicati 2\"
Now we will install the service .\Duplicati.WindowsService.exe install
Now restart your computer (this isn’t needed, but it’s a good way to test)
