1. Log into your node using your RSA key auth

   Code Block
   FQDN=<FQDN>

   
   

3. Stop zend and the tracker if you're using monit and PM2

   Code Block
   sudo monit stop zend && pm2 stop 0

   
   

4. Stop zend and the tracker if you're using systemd

   Code Block
   sudo systemctl stop zend zentracker

   
   

5. Remove '#' from the line: '#7z a tor.7z ~/.zen/onion_private_key', if using tor

   Code Block
   cat <<EOF > ~/backup.sh #!/bin/bash #Create a temp Directory mkdir ~/.temp && cd ~/.temp #Archive zend file(s) 7z a wallet.7z ~/.zen/wallet.dat #7z a tor.7z ~/.zen/onion_private_key #Archive nodetracker config file 7z a config.7z ~/nodetracker/config/config.json cd ~/ 7z a -p backup.$FQDN.7z ~/.temp #Erase Temporary Files rm -rf ~/.temp EOF

   
   

6.  Make the backup script executable

   Code Block
   chmod u+x ~/backup.sh

   
   

7. Install 7zip

   Code Block
   sudo apt install p7zip-full -y

   Code Block
   ~/backup.sh

   
   

9. Start zend and the tracker if you're using monit and PM2

   Code Block
   sudo monit start zend && pm2 start 0

   
   

10. Start zend and the tracker if you're using systemd

    Code Block
    sudo systemctl start zend zentracker
