To access weekly online backup on canopus last updated 2024 August

Newest update 2024 Aug to reflect that backups are have been stored on canopus: for several years:

Go to canopus:/thuban2-backups

Bruce has an automatic (cron) job do a weekly backup of thuban onto canopus.

On canopus,

df -h gives the various mount points, incl
“Filesustem” /dev/mapper/centos_canopis-thuban2–backups”\
” Mounted on”  /thuban2/backups

Navigate down to whatever file you’re looknig for, and copy over to a safe place (Careful: do not overwrite newer file of same name on thuban!)

See also post on root superuser privileges on thuban2  (although current post you are reading deals with canopus, which is where weekly backups are stored).
