Python Backup Utility
Description:
backutil
is a wrapper for the python tarfile
library. As tarfile
is a standard Python library, using backutil
will provide a cross-platform and simple backup utility.
Installation:
Install using pip
:
sudo pip3 install backutil
Usage:
❯ backutil --help
usage: backutil [-h] --path PATH [PATH ...] --dest DEST [--webdav URL] [-z]
[-v] [-q]
Python backup utility that supports uploading to Nextcloud/Owncloud.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--path PATH [PATH ...]
path(s) to backup
--dest DEST destination of backup
--webdav URL WebDav URL to upload to
-z, --zip use gzip to compress the backup file
-v, --verbose enable verbose output
-q, --quiet suppress output
Example commands:
Backup two files to a .tar archive:
❯ backutil --path tmp.txt tmp2.txt --dest ~/Documents/file.tar
Backup and compress to .tar.gz archive:
❯ backutil --path tmp.txt tmp2.txt --dest ~/Documents/file.tar.gz -z
Backup to a .tar archive verbosely:
❯ backutil --path tmp.txt tmp2.txt --dest ~/Documents/file.tar -v
Backup and compress to a .tar.gz archive, supressing output:
❯ backutil --path tmp.txt tmp2.txt --dest ~/Documents/file.tar.gz -z -q
Backup file and upload to Nextcloud Webdav (currently doesn't support uploading gzip files):
❯ backutil --path tmp.txt tmp2.txt --dest ~/file.tar --webdav 'https://cloud.example.com:8080/
Currently WebDav functionality has only been tested on an instance of Nextcloud.
