A plugin to back up the OpenMediaVault system disk (OS), so it can be restored
after a disk failure or a bad upgrade. Supports dd, full-disk dd,
fsarchiver, borgbackup and rsync methods.
A restore cannot run from within OpenMediaVault — it overwrites the disk the OS boots from. Restores run from a live/rescue environment. Every backup includes a restore helper, a layout manifest and a generated README to make that as easy as possible.
- doc/recovery.md — comprehensive backup & recovery guide:
the Backups page (run, info, delete, purge), configuration, what each backup
contains, the manifest, the
omv-restore-helper(including the guided automatic restore), the Recovery USB feature, restore walk-throughs per method, the Raspberry Pi / SBC workflow, and how to make an amd64 bootable rescue USB. - doc/restore_dd.md — focused
dd/ddfullrestore walk-through. - doc/zstd.md — zstd compression options.
