Firefox Backup

This script performs a backup (archiving) of Firefox profile to a backup directory (ideally located on a different volume). As its purpose is to be run at computer shutdown (see service file), it also removes, if it exists, the 10-day old archive.

Files

• firefox-backup.sh performs a save of you Firefox profile.
• variables.conf.templates contains examples variables definitions, and should be copied locally to variables.conf (with any required modifications).
• systemd-templates/ contains Systemd units templates for running the script unattended.

Installation

• install.sh copies Systemd templates to their destination, and enables backup for the user running the script.

Notes

• If your backup directory is not on root volume, you may want to add a drop-in for the service unit, with Requires=<mount-point>.mount
