SAILFISH - borg backup

Overview

This is a HowTo for installing & setting up borg backup on a Sailfish device. (in my case: a Sony Xperia XA2 )

Prerequisite

• wget should be installed on the sailfish device
• alternative: download the binary to the PC and copy it to the Sailfish device

Do it

login on your sailfish device via ssh (must be activated in the settings)
