CAMRCS

camrcs is a Python package that manages data backups to Cambridge University Research Cold Storage (RCS).

Complete documentation can be found here.

QUICKSTART

Install pigz first:

sudo apt-get install pigz

Then install camrcs:

pip install camrcs

camrcs requires a data.csv file that stores information of what to upload, etc.

To create a new data.csv run:

cd any/path/to/store/file
camrcs up --new

First include all relevant information in data.csv, then run from the directory containing data.csv:

camrcs up

This will upload all data that has not yet been uploaded to RCS.

For example, to retrieve the archive with id 1 from data.csv run:

camrcs down -t 1
