QUICKSTART

Installation

Install pigz first:

Then install camrcs:

pip install camrcs

Before first use

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

Uploading data to RCS

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.

Retrieving data from RCS

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

camrcs down -t 1
