Manuel completed his studies in applied computer science with a Master's degree in 2013 in Heidelberg, Germany and started working as a software developer shortly thereafter. He is interested in working with and combining all kinds of technology to build new cool things, striving to make lives (including his own) easier. You can find more about such projects in his blog. As an open source enthusiast, involved in many projects, private and professional, using open source he was always looking for ways to finally become a contributor to give back to the community. In 2018 he joined the Cloud Foundry development team to make this wish become true. In 2019, Manuel joined Red Hat as Site Reliability Engineer for Red Hat OpenShift - now he's developing and running open source software full time.

Hi jag101,
Thanks for your comment. Yes, this is the way I use the scripts, and for sure you should be able to adjust them to your use case. To do backups remotely, you can use rsync to backup via ssh or mount the NAS via NFS as described in the first part, linked above.
Kind regards,
Manuel
Hi Igor,
Thanks for your comment. In my experience a crashing raspberry pi is often a sign for a too small power supply or too many devices attached to the USB ports. Try at least a 3A power supply for a raspberry pi 3 and make sure to use externally powered hard drives. Also, you can do automated backups of the whole SD card using dd and put them on the USB disk, and in the case of a file System damage of the SD card, you can restore it from there. Or use a similar script as the one from this article to create backups remotely.
Kind regards,
Manuel
