Run the manjaro playbook

NOTE: Restore home directory and REBOOT first

ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass ansible/setup-full.yml

BTRFS

https://linoxide.com/how-to-take-backup-with-btrfs-snapshots/

# Create backup subvolume
btrfs subvolume create /mnt/backup/DucoBacktop

# Create snapshot dir
mkdir /.snapshots

# Create readonly snapshot
```bash
SNAPSHOT_TIME=$(date +"%y_%m_%d-%H.%M")
SNAPSHOT_NAME=home_$SNAPSHOT_TIME
SNAPSHOT_DIR=/.snapshots
btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /home $SNAPSHOT_DIR/$SNAPSHOT_NAME

# Send a snapshot with no previous snapshot
export SNAPSHOT_DIR=${SNAPSHOT_DIR:=/.snapshots}
export BACKUP_DIR=${BACKUP_DIR:=/mnt/backup0/DucoBacktop}
btrfs send $SNAPSHOT_DIR/$SNAPSHOT_NAME | btrfs receive $BACKUP_DIR

# Send a snapshot with previous snapshot
export SNAPSHOT_DIR=${SNAPSHOT_DIR:=/.snapshots}
export BACKUP_DIR=${BACKUP_DIR:=/mnt/backup0/DucoBacktop}
export LATEST=${LATEST:=/previous_snapshot}
btrfs send -p $SNAPSHOT_DIR/$LATEST $SNAPSHOT_DIR/$SNAPSHOT_NAME | btrfs receive $BACKUP_DIR

# Clean up snapshots
find /.snapshots -maxdepth 1 -type d -not -path /.snapshots -exec sudo btrfs subvolume delete {} \;

Luks

# Create an encrypted drive
sudo cryptsetup luksFormat


# LUKS Disk Encryption can use up to 8 key slots to store passwords. We can use these keys to auto mount LUKS device.
# cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sda

# Create a lukskeys
mkdir /home/ducoterra/.lukskeys

# Generate key
dd if=/dev/random bs=32 count=1 of=/home/ducoterra/.lukskeys/backup0

# Change key mode
chmod 600 /home/ducoterra/.lukskeys

# Luks add a key
sudo cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sda /home/ducoterra/.lukskeys/backup0

# Get UUID of disk with
sudo blkid /dev/sda

# Add key to crypttab
echo 'backup0 UUID=1d7ce570-e695-47a0-9dda-5f14b5b20e21 /home/ducoterra/.lukskeys/backup0 luks' > /etc/cryptab

# Create backup mount point
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/backup0

# Add to fstab
echo '/dev/mapper/backup0 /mnt/backup0 btrfs defaults,noatime,compress=zstd 0 0' > /etc/fstab

# mount
sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/disk/by-uuid/1d7ce570-e695-47a0-9dda-5f14b5b20e21 backup0 --key-file=/home/ducoterra/.lukskeys/backup0

# close (or fix issues)
sudo cryptsetup luksClose backup0

ISCSI

# Login to portal
sudo iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p freenas.dnet

# Mount all targets
sudo iscsiadm -m node -l

# Mount at boot
vim /etc/iscsi/nodes/iqn.2022-02.freenas.dnet:manjaro-backup/10.1.2.200,3260,1
