Crear un nuevo Tails para almacenar tu copia de respaldo

We recommend you to create another Tails to store your backup. This way, if your Tails is lost or damaged, you can replace it immediately with your backup Tails.

Tu copia de Tails tiene que ser de la versión 4.14 o posterior.

  1. Instala Tails en una nueva memoria USB en la cual quieres crear tu copia de respaldo. Para instrucciones más detalladas, mira cómo instalar Tails desde otro Tails. Asegúrate de que esta nueva memoria USB de Tails sea al menos tan grande como la que tienes ahora.

  2. Te recomendamos que uses una memoria USB de forma distinta para tu Tails de respaldo, para evitar usarlo por error.

  3. Apaga la computadora y desconecta tu memoria USB de Tails actual.

  4. Restart on your backup Tails and create a Persistent Storage on it.

    Te recomendamos que uses la misma frase contraseña que tu Tails actual para que sea más fácil de recordar.

  5. Close the Persistent Storage settings after creation, when the list of possible features is displayed.

    The backup process described below overrides the configuration of the Persistent Storage. So, it does not matter which features you turn on after creating the Persistent Storage.

  6. Apaga y desconecta tu memoria USB Tails de respaldo.

Crea o actualiza tu copia de respaldo

  1. Inicia en tu Tails actual y desbloquea el Almacenamiento Persistente.

  2. Inserta tu memoria USB Tails de respaldo.

  3. Choose Applications ▸ System Tools ▸ Back Up Persistent Storage.

    Cada vez que actualices tu copia de respaldo, sólo los archivos que han cambiado se copiarán.

  4. If your backup Tails has an outdated version of Tails, we recommend you upgrade it by cloning your current Tails using Tails Installer. For detailed instructions, see how to manually upgrade from another Tails.

Updating your backup Tails from a terminal

If you prefer updating your backup Tails from a terminal:

  1. When starting Tails, unlock your Persistent Storage and set up an administration password.

  2. Choose Applications ▸ Accessories ▸ Files to open the Files browser.

  3. Inserta tu memoria USB Tails de respaldo.

    A new encrypted volume appears in the sidebar of the Files browser. Click on it and enter the passphrase of your backup Tails to unlock the volume.

  4. Execute the following command in a Root Terminal:

    rsync -PaSHAXv --del /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/ /media/amnesia/TailsData

    When the command finishes, it displays a summary of the data that was copied. For example:

    sent 32.32M bytes  received 1.69K bytes  21.55M bytes/sec
total size is 32.30M  speedup is 1.00
