Compress, encrypt (symmetric encryption) and upload files directly to Amazon S3/Glacier in a single command. Can also be used as a python module.

Compress, encrypt (symmetric encryption) and upload files directly to Amazon S3/Glacier in a single command. Can also be used as a python module.

While navigating directories, I was tired of telling myself I should backup these #?!!* small files/directories. Since I didn’t found any solution that allows me to quickly perform encrypted backup on Amazon S3 from command-line, I wrote bakthat !

Here are some features:

• Compress with tarfile

• Encrypt with beefish (optional)

• Upload/download to S3 or Glacier with boto

• Local Glacier inventory stored with shelve

• Automatically handle/backup/restore a custom Glacier inventory to S3

You can restore backups with or without bakthat, you just have to download the backup, decrypt it with Beefish command-line tool and untar it.

Be careful, if you want to be able to backup/restore your glacier inventory, you need to setup a S3 Bucket even if you are planning to use bakthat exclusively with glacier, all the archives ids are stored under JSON format in a S3 Key.

Requirements

• Aaargh

• Pycrypto

• Beefish

• Boto

Installation

$ pip install bakthat

You need to set your AWS credentials:

$ bakthat configure

Usage

Basic usage, “bakthat -h” or “bakthat <command> -h” to show the help.

S3 is the default destination, to use Glacier just add “-d glacier” or “–destination glacier”.

You can change the temp directory location by setting the TMPDIR, TEMP or TMP environment variables if the backup is too big to fit in the default temp directory.

Backup

$ cd /dir/i/want/to/bak
backup to S3
$ bakthat backup
or
$ bakthat backup -f /dir/i/want/to/bak

you can also backup a single file
$ bakthat backup -f /home/thomas/mysuperfile.txt

backup to Glacier
$ bakthat backup -d glacier

Restore

You can restore the latest version of a backup just by specifying the begining of the filename.

$ bakthat restore -f bak

if you want to restore an older version
$ bakthat restore -f bak20120927
or
$ bakthat restore -f bak20120927.tgz.enc

restore from Glacier
$ bakthat restore -f bak -d glacier

When restoring from Glacier, the first time you call the restore command, the job is initiated, then you can check manually whether or not the job is completed (it takes 3-5h to complete), if so the file will be downloaded and restored.

List

$ bakthat ls
or
$ bakthat ls -d s3

$ bakthat ls -d glacier

Delete

$ bakthat delete -f bak

$ bakthat delete -f bak -d glacier

Info

You can quickly check when was the last time you backed up a directory:

$ bakthat info

Backup/Restore Glacier inventory

Bakthat automatically backups the local Glacier inventory (a dict with filename => archive_id mapping) to your S3 bucket under the “bakthat_glacier_inventory” key.

You can retrieve bakthat custom inventory without waiting:

$ bakthat show_glacier_inventory

or

$ bakthat show_local_glacier_inventory

You can trigger a backup mannualy:

$ bakthat backup_glacier_inventory

And here is how to restore the glacier inventory from S3:

$ bakthat restore_glacier_inventory

As a module

import bakthat
aws_conf = {"access_key":"", "secret_key":"", "bucket": "", "vault": ""}

bakthat.backup("/dir/i/wanto/bak", conf=aws_conf)
bakthat.backup("/dir/i/wanto/bak", conf=aws_conf, destination="glacier")

# or if you want to have generated the configuration file with "bakthat configure"
# and want to use this file:
bakthat.backup("/dir/i/wanto/bak")

bakthat.ls()

# restore in the current working directory
bakthat.restore("bak", conf=aws_conf)

S3 and Glacier IAM permissions

    "Statement": [
