Hardlink/Deduplication Backups with Python

Hardlink Backups with Python

Currently python 3 is needed.

Try out:

setup

~$ virtualenv -p python3 PyHardLinkBackupEnv
$ cd PyHardLinkBackupEnv/
~/PyHardLinkBackupEnv $ source bin/activate
(PyHardLinkBackupEnv) ~/PyHardLinkBackupEnv $ pip install -U pip
(PyHardLinkBackupEnv) ~/PyHardLinkBackupEnv $ pip install -e git+https://github.com/jedie/PyHardlinkBackup.git#egg=PyHardlinkBackup
(PyHardLinkBackupEnv) ~/PyHardLinkBackupEnv $ phlb migrate

Note: If you not use python 3.5+, then ‘scandir’ will be installed and so you need the python3-dev package…

start a backup run

~$ ./PyHardLinkBackupEnv/bin/phlb backup ~/Photo

or:

~$ source ./PyHardLinkBackupEnv/bin/activate
(PyHardLinkBackupEnv) ~$ phlb backup ~/documents

run unittests

$ cd PyHardLinkBackupEnv/
~/PyHardLinkBackupEnv $ source bin/activate
(PyHardLinkBackupEnv) ~/PyHardLinkBackupEnv $ phlb test

some notes

Why in hell do you use django?!?

• Well, just because of the great database ORM and the Admin Site ;)

How to use the django admin?

$ cd PyHardLinkBackupEnv/
~/PyHardLinkBackupEnv $ source bin/activate
(PyHardLinkBackupEnv) ~/PyHardLinkBackupEnv $ phlb runserver

And then just request ‘localhost’

What is ‘phlb’ ?!?

the phlb executable is the similar to django manage.py, but it always used the PyHardlinkBackup settings.
