============
|
|
A simple backup script
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
simple_backup is a Python script that allows you to backup your files.
|
|
Parameters like input files/directories, output directory etc. can be specified in a configuration file, or on the command line.
|
|
Run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
simple_backup -h
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
to print all possible command line options.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
The script uses rsync to actually run the backup, so you will have to install it on your system. For example on Arch Linux:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo pacman -Syu rsync
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It's also required to have python-dotenv
|
|
|
|
Optional dependencies are systemd-python to enable using systemd journal for logging, and dbus-python for desktop notifications.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
To install the program, first clone the repository:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Fuxino/simple_backup.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then install the tools required to build the package:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install --upgrade build wheel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Finally, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd simple_backup
|
|
python -m build --wheel
|
|
python -m pip install dist/*.whl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
- **simple_backup** for the release version
|
|
- **simple_backup-git** for the git version
