sback
A CLI tool to manage and run your backups.
How it works
Most of the backup solutions out there are way to complex, this is why I've created this simple tool. It has a configuration file which contains all files or directories you want to back up and a different configuration file which contains the destinations where the backup should be placed in an rsync compatible format. When you start the backup there is a gzipped tarball created which then gets transferred to all remotes one by one. And that's it. No magic, no surprises.
The configuration files are placed in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and the tarball is placed in $XDG_CACHE_HOME
Here is a table showing the different commands
| command | subcommand | description | example |
|---|---|---|---|
| files | list | list all files | sback files list |
| files | add | add a file | sback files add ./README.md |
| files | remove | remove a file | sback files remove $PWD/README.md |
| files | clean | sorts the file list and removes duplicates in case of manual editing | sback files clean |
| remotes | list | list all remote | sback remotes list |
| remotes | add | add a remote | sback remote add backup-user@12.98.34.76:~/backup |
| remotes | remove | remove a remote | sback remote remove backup-user@12.98.34.76:~/backup |
| run | - | executes the backup process | sback run |
