Creates backups of your files and directories.
Project description
Simple utility that makes backups of your files/directories.
Installation
sudo pip install bkp
Usage
Creating Backups & Restoring
Provided that we have a file or directory: foo/bar/baz
# Create a copy:
bkp foo/bar/baz
# Following copy will be created: foo/bar/baz.b01
# Invoking command again will create foo/bar/baz.b02 etc.
# Restore your file or directory:
bkp -r foo/bar/baz.01
# This will create/overwrite original file/directory: foo/bar/baz
Note that multiple files can be specified in the command line. Output files are always created in the same directory where corresponding input files are located, no matter what CWD at the time.
Working With Archives
Alternatively -a flag can be used to create tar archive instead of a simple copy. Also -m can be used to add comments.
# Create an archive
bkp -am "initial version" foo/bar/baz
# Comment and other details can be obtained by invoking:
bkp -i foo/bar/baz.b03
For more options and explanations invoke bkp --help.
