#### End-to-end encrypted cloud backup of your folders

RedVault Cloud Agent watches the folders you choose and backs up new and changed
files to your RedVault cloud, encrypted on this computer before anything is uploaded.

* Folder monitoring with automatic backup, and restore of any file or folder
* Encrypted share links for files and folders
* Your password vault
* Optional "Back up while I'm away": keeps backing up after you sign out of the app
* Needs a RedVault Systems account: <https://www.redvaultsystems.com>

The App Center version can back up files in your home folder and, once you allow it,
on external drives:

```
 sudo snap connect redvault-cloud-agent:removable-media
```

"Back up while I'm away" keeps the sign-in in your system keyring. Allow that with:

```
 sudo snap connect redvault-cloud-agent:password-manager-service
```

RedVaultDrive (your cloud as a folder in the file manager) is not in this version:
it needs the .deb from <https://www.redvaultsystems.com/downloads/>

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install RedVault Cloud Agent

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
