most people just use the thing that makes the usb appear automatically on their desktop, and then drag the folder over when they want to save it. I just like making text files I can set to run and forget about in the background.

  1. plug in usb stick  
  2. run lsblk to find the name like sdc1
     
    run as root in crontab:
     
    ACCOUNT=rweasel  
    USBDEV=/dev/sdc1  
    mount -o uid=id -u $ACCOUNT $USBDEV /mnt/usb  
    su $ACCOUNT <<EOT  
    mkdir /mnt/usb/mypaint  
    rsync -aPv ~/.local/share/mypaint/ /mnt/usb/mypaint/share/  
    rsync -aPv ~/.config/mypaint/ /mnt/usb/mypaint/config/  
    EOT  
    umount /mnt/usb
     
    to restore (as root):
     
    ACCOUNT=rweasel  
    USBDEV=/dev/sdc1  
    mount -o uid=id -u $ACCOUNT $USBDEV /mnt/usb  
    su $ACCOUNT <<EOT  
    mkdir /mnt/usb/mypaint  
    rsync -aPv /mnt/usb/mypaint/share/ ~/.local/share/mypaint/  
    rsync -aPv /mnt/usb/mypaint/config/ ~/.config/mypaint/  
    EOT  
    umount /mnt/usb
     
    dunno about sai, but that’d work for mypaint. untested b/c I don’t even have any custom brushes b/c I suck
     
    if you have a VPS, you can just
     
    setup:
     
    VPS=rweasel@123.123.123.123  
    DIR="~/backups/mypaint/"  
    ssh $VPS <<EOT  
    mkdir -p $DIR  
    EOT
     
    in a crontab:
     
    VPS=rweasel@123.123.123.123  
    DIR="~/backups/mypaint/"  
    rsync -aPv ~/.local/share/mypaint/ $VPS:$DIR/share/  
    rsync -aPv ~/.config/mypaint/ $VPS:$DIR/config/
     
    to restore:  
    VPS=rweasel@123.123.123.123  
    DIR="~/backups/mypaint/"  
    rsync -aPv $VPS:$DIR/share/ ~/.local/share/mypaint/  
    rsync -aPv $VPS:$DIR/config/ ~/.config/mypaint/
