Programs to make and upload file backups.

Usage

Command backup writes a zip-formatted backup archive to stdout.

go install go.growl.space/backup/cmd/backup@latest

usage: backup [-files] [-size] [other flags]

Command uploadbackup transmits a backup archive to a remote server over ssh.

go install go.growl.space/backup/cmd/uploadbackup@latest

usage: uploadbackup [-f file] <remote>

The configuration consists of a $HOME/.config/backup/paths.txt file that specifies the paths to include in each backup.

See godoc for details.

Example

If you have everything configured, you can run the following to back up your files to a remote server.

backup | uploadbackup maisel

where maisel is the remote server.

For example:

% backup | uploadbackup maisel
backup: adding /Users/ns/Documents
uploadbackup: writing backups/surf.local/2023-04-14-142720.zip to maisel
backup: adding /Users/ns/Pictures
backup: adding /Users/ns/src
...
backup: adding /Users/ns/.zsh_history
backup: done
uploadbackup: done
%

Use backup | pv -r -b | uploadbackup ... to see progress of the transfer.
