Sefthy Agent installation on Ubuntu/Debian

⚠️⚠️ Currently, only kernels up to version 6.13 are supported. ⚠️⚠️

1. Download the .deb package through the link provided on the Sefthy Console. It is preferable to download it to the /tmp folder to avoid permissions errors later. (e.g. cd /tmp && wget -O Sefthy.deb https://sefthy-reg-1.sefthy.cloud/dl/21)
2. Run apt install ./Sefthy.deb.
3. If this is the first time the Sefthy Agent is installed you will be asked for username and password, which are available in the Sefthy Console. Otherwise you can login with the command /opt/SefthyAgent/backup-tool login prompt.

4. The installation and configuration is complete. You can now customize the scheduling from the Sefthy Console.

Sefthy Agent uses a kernel module called backupsnap, which optimizes the backup process, for example by skipping unused disk sectors and saving space (and bandwidth). When the first backup is launched, the agent compiles and installs the module without requiring any manual action.

You can control the agent from the command line, for example to log in and out:

  - /opt/SefthyAgent/backup-tool login disconnect

  - /opt/SefthyAgent/backup-tool login prompt
