simple_backup
============
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
```
## Install
To install the program, first clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Fuxino/simple_backup.git
```
Then run:
```bash
cd simple_backup
python -m build --wheel
python -m installer dist/*.whl
For Arch Linux, a PKGBUILD that automates this process is provided.
