Python wrapper to access and control an UrBackup server

urbackup-server-web-api-wrapper

Python wrapper to access and control an UrBackup server.

All responses are returned as typed dataclasses (e.g. StatusResult, Backups, UserListItem) so you get IDE autocompletion and type checking out of the box.

Installation

Install with:

pip3 install urbackup-server-web-api-wrapper

Usage

Connect and log in

from urbackup_api import urbackup_server_typed

server = urbackup_server_typed("http://127.0.0.1:55414/x", "admin", "foo")
server.login()

Start a backup

from urbackup_api import BackupType

# Get the client ID from the status list
status = server.get_status_result()
client = [c for c in status.status if c.name == "testclient0"][0]

results = server.start_backup([client.id], BackupType.FULL_FILE)
for r in results:
    print(f"client {r.clientid}: start_ok={r.start_ok}")

List clients with no file backup in the last three days

import datetime
import time

status = server.get_status_result()
diff_time = 3 * 24 * 60 * 60  # 3 days

for client in status.status:
    if client.lastbackup == "-" or client.lastbackup < time.time() - diff_time:
        if client.lastbackup == "-" or client.lastbackup == 0:
            lastbackup = "Never"
        else:
            lastbackup = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(client.lastbackup).strftime("%x %X")

        print(f"Last file backup at {lastbackup} of client {client.name} is older than three days")

Browse backups

from urbackup_api import Backups

backups = server.get_backups(client.id)
for b in backups.backups:
    print(f"Backup {b.id}: {b.size_bytes} bytes, incremental={b.incremental}")

# Browse files inside a backup
files = server.get_files(client.id, backups.backups[0].id, path="/")
for f in files.files:
    print(f"  {'[dir]' if f.dir else '     '} {f.name}")

Monitor progress

from urbackup_api import ProgressResult

progress = server.get_progress(with_last_activities=True)
for p in progress.progress:
    print(f"Client {p.name}: {p.pcdone:.1f}% done")

for a in progress.lastacts or []:
    print(f"  Last activity: {a.name} ({a.duration}s)")

Manage settings

# Global settings
settings = server.get_general_settings_result()
print(settings["settings"]["max_file_incr"]["value"])

server.save_general_settings({"max_file_incr": "15"})

# Client settings (by ID)
client_settings = server.get_client_settings_by_id(client.id)
server.save_client_settings_by_id(client.id, {"internet_authkey": "mykey", "overwrite": "true"})

# Mail / LDAP
server.save_mail_settings({"mail_servername": "smtp.example.com", "mail_serverport": "587"})
ldap = server.get_ldap_settings()

User management

from urbackup_api import UserListItem

# List users
users = server.get_user_list()
for u in users:
    print(f"{u.name} (id={u.id})")

# Create / remove / change password
server.create_user("operator", "s3cret")
server.change_user_rights(users[0].id, "all=all")
server.change_user_password(users[0].id, "newpassword")
server.remove_user(users[0].id)

Logs

from urbackup_api import LogLevel

logs = server.get_logs(log_level=LogLevel.WARNING)
for entry in logs:
    print(f"[{entry.name}] errors={entry.errors} warnings={entry.warnings}")

# Detailed log entries
details = server.get_log(logs[0].id)
for row in details:
    print(f"  [{row.level}] {row.message}")

Extra clients

# Extra clients are included in the status result
status = server.get_status_result()
for ec in status.extra_clients:
    print(ec["hostname"])

server.add_extra_client("10.0.1.100")
server.remove_extra_client(ec_id)

Remove / stop-remove clients

server.remove_client(client.id)
server.stop_remove_client(client.id)  # cancel pending removal

Usage statistics

usage = server.get_usage_stats()
for u in usage:
    print(f"{u.name}: files={u.files}, images={u.images}, used={u.used}")
