I am donating a server with Koha 3.12 on Debian 7 via packages for a school in Vanuatu and would like suggestions for a simple backup strategy. The 'server' will not actually be network connected, so it will be used as a standalone workstation (at least to begin with). There will be no technical support available. My first thought was to use koha-run-backups and change the location to the desktop of the user that will access Koha. With the thought they could drag and drop the backup folder to a usb drive when needed. But it appears the --location: argument does not work with koha-run-backups.

Since I am a novice scripter I am reluctant to go this path for fear of making a mess that I can't fix from thousands of KMs away.

I doubt the machine will run 24/7.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

A little of the backstory:
