Open the dashboard, go to Apps, press Add on it and apply the change. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install backupWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |

Good to know
- A backup nobody has restored from is a hypothesis. Use Restore then pick a single file and bring it back, today, not the day you need it
- Write the encryption passphrase down somewhere off this machine. Without it the backup is a pile of noise, including to you
- 3-2-1: three copies, two kinds of media, one off-site. A backup on the same box as the original survives a mistake but not a fire or a theft
