Micro Backup Tool
Micro Backup Tool (shorted from here with mbt) is a light-weighted, cross-platform and very simple project for backing-up files.
It is made with python to allows portability on different operative system, and it’s main goal is to make is work done without hand-waving.
The project is at very being, so for now the main implementation will be rude and straight to the objective.
Features
multiple dirctory trees backup
common compressions
logs keeping
easy configuration and schedule
files ignore with regular expression
easy customization
ready to go
How it works
mbt backup files and directories compressing it in a .tar.gz or .zip file, setting the starting point equals to the launcher path. If the directory option is specified mbt backups all the directories listed in the option, excluding (if not explicitly specified) the launcher path.
If something goes wrong?
If something goes wrong the backup process continues, but the error is written on logs (see logs section). Unbacked-up list ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ At the end of every backup a list containing “unbacked” up files is written, and with the right option mbt automatically tries to backup again those files (see options section). [TODO: define better]
Logs
History logs
During the backup process logs are keeped and if something fails it will be written on logs. Error logs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If something goes wrong while backing up, the process continues but the error log file will be written with error details.
