borg external harddrive dmenu

This is a script which use dmenu to perform backups with an external harddrive, you can use it with the tiny i3blocks script I provide here.

I use Hack font for dmenu, so if you don't have it, simply change it. I also use dunst as notify manager. You have to export SUDO_ASKPASS="path/to/dmenupass" (in your .profile for example) to have sudo -A working

You would also have to change "path to autobackup.sh" to the real path where you put this script.

i3blocks optionnal dependency

For everything to work, ellipsize have to be in your $PATH and borg in the path you defined in ~/.config/i3blocks/config.

Then, simply add :

[borg]
interval=5

to ~/.config/i3blocks/config.
