# Backup & Security Implementation Status **Last Updated**: 2025-11-07 ## Overview Implementation of comprehensive backup system and security hardening for Gentoo workstation. --- ## Part 1: Backup System ### ✅ Completed Components #### Backup Scripts - **backup-setup** - Interactive management script - Location: `/usr/local/bin/backup-setup` - Functions: status, backup, list, logs, test - Status: ✅ Created and installed - **backup-full** - Full system backup - Location: `/usr/local/bin/backup-full` - Excludes: caches, tmp, portage build dirs - Status: ✅ Created and installed - **backup-home** - Home directory backup - Location: `/usr/local/bin/backup-home` - Backs up: `/home/alexander` - Status: ✅ Created and installed - **backup-incremental** - Incremental backup - Location: `/usr/local/bin/backup-incremental` - Uses: rsync --link-dest for space efficiency - Status: ✅ Created and installed - **backup-configs** - Configuration backup - Location: `/usr/local/bin/backup-configs` - Backs up: /etc, dotfiles, portage config, custom scripts - Status: ✅ Created and installed #### Configuration - **backup.conf.example** - Configuration template - Location: `/usr/local/share/backup-setup/backup.conf.example` - Status: ✅ Created - **backup.conf** - Active configuration - Location: `/etc/backup.conf` - Status: ⚠️ **NEEDS CONFIGURATION** - Edit with NAS details #### Logging - **Log file**: `/var/log/backup.log` - **State directory**: `/var/lib/backup/` - Status: ✅ Created ### ⏳ Pending Components #### ZSH Completion - **_backup-setup** - ZSH autocompletion - Location: `/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_backup-setup` - Status: ⏳ Not yet created #### Network Trigger Service - **backup-monitor** - OpenRC service - Watches for NAS availability on network - Triggers automatic backup when NAS detected - Cooldown mechanism to prevent spam - Status: ⏳ Not yet created #### Documentation - **Backup-Setup.md** - Complete backup guide - Installation instructions - Configuration guide - Usage examples - Troubleshooting - Status: ⏳ Not yet created --- ## Part 2: Security Hardening ### ⏳ All Components Pending #### Firewall (nftables) - **nftables.conf** - Firewall ruleset - Default deny incoming - Allow outgoing - Docker integration - Status: ⏳ Not yet created - **nftables OpenRC service** - Auto-start at boot - Status: ⏳ Not yet created #### Intrusion Detection - **fail2ban** - SSH brute-force protection - SSH jail configuration - Auto-ban on failed attempts - Status: ⏳ Not yet created #### System Hardening - **SSH hardening** - Key-only authentication (optional) - fail2ban integration - Status: ⏳ Not yet created - **Audit & Monitoring** - Log aggregation - File integrity monitoring (optional) - Status: ⏳ Not yet created #### Documentation - **Security-Hardening.md** - Security guide - Firewall configuration - fail2ban setup - SSH hardening - Monitoring setup - Status: ⏳ Not yet created --- ## Installation Steps ### Current Step: Configure and Test Backup 1. **Install backup scripts** ✅ Done ```bash # Scripts installed to /usr/local/bin/ # backup-setup, backup-full, backup-home, backup-incremental, backup-configs ``` 2. **Configure NAS connection** ⚠️ **DO THIS NOW** ```bash sudo nvim /etc/backup.conf # Edit these values: # NAS_HOST="your-nas-hostname" # NAS_USER="your-backup-user" # NAS_PATH="/path/to/backup/dir" ``` 3. **Set up SSH key authentication** ⚠️ **REQUIRED** ```bash # Generate SSH key if you don't have one ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "backup@gentoo-workstation" # Copy to NAS ssh-copy-id -p 22 backup-user@nas-hostname ``` 4. **Test connection** ```bash backup-setup test ``` 5. **Test backup (configs - lightweight)** ```bash backup-setup backup configs ``` 6. **Check backup status** ```bash backup-setup status backup-setup list backup-setup logs ``` ### Next Steps After successful backup test: 1. **Create ZSH completion** - For backup-setup autocompletion 2. **Create network trigger** - Automated backups when NAS detected 3. **Implement firewall** - nftables configuration 4. **Set up fail2ban** - SSH protection 5. **Create documentation** - Complete guides --- ## Testing Checklist ### Backup System Testing - [ ] Configuration file created (`/etc/backup.conf`) - [ ] NAS details configured (host, user, path) - [ ] SSH key authentication set up - [ ] Connection test passes (`backup-setup test`) - [ ] Config backup works (`backup-setup backup configs`) - [ ] Backup appears on NAS (`backup-setup list`) - [ ] Logs are written (`backup-setup logs`) - [ ] Status shows last backup (`backup-setup status`) ### Security Testing (Future) - [ ] Firewall rules applied - [ ] fail2ban active and monitoring - [ ] SSH hardening verified - [ ] Logs monitored --- ## Quick Reference ### Backup Commands ```bash # Show status backup-setup status # Test connection backup-setup test # Run backups backup-setup backup configs # Lightweight: configs only backup-setup backup home # Medium: home directory backup-setup backup incremental # Efficient: incremental changes backup-setup backup full # Complete: entire system # View backups backup-setup list # View logs backup-setup logs ``` ### File Locations ``` /usr/local/bin/backup-setup # Main script /usr/local/bin/backup-{full,home,incremental,configs} # Worker scripts /etc/backup.conf # Configuration /var/log/backup.log # Logs /var/lib/backup/last-backup # Last backup timestamp /usr/local/share/backup-setup/ # Resources ``` --- ## Progress Summary **Backup System**: 60% Complete - ✅ All backup scripts created - ✅ Configuration system created - ✅ Logging set up - ⏳ ZSH completion pending - ⏳ Network trigger pending - ⏳ Documentation pending **Security Hardening**: 0% Complete - ⏳ Firewall pending - ⏳ fail2ban pending - ⏳ SSH hardening pending - ⏳ Documentation pending **Overall**: 30% Complete --- ## Notes - Backup system is functional and ready for testing - Security hardening will begin after backup system is confirmed working - Network trigger will be implemented using OpenRC service (not systemd) - All scripts are POSIX sh compatible - Follows same pattern as existing scripts (wifi-setup, audio-setup, etc.)
