Installing a headless server for UrBackup on a ubuntu 14.04.

Install ubuntu with OpenSSH server

There are lots of tutorials out there that show this in detail. Next we will assume u have a ubuntu server

Adding PPA

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:uroni/urbackup
$ sudo apt-get update

Prepare a disk were u want to store urbackup data. Keep in mind that this needs to be one disk and it needs to have as much space as u need for storing backups. Note the path (u need it for next step).

$ sudo apt-get install urbackup-server

In the install screen write the path u just created

After this restart the service to make sure it's loaded correctly.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/urbackup_srv restart

Now the urbackup webinterface should be running
