auto-backup

Python project to safe/backup files and whole directories on remote storages

Available backups

• Googledrive
• SSH
• FTP

Setup

Use the settings_template.py file, fill the path to your secrets and rename the file to settings.py. You also have to get the folder ID from your Googledrive Folder. You'll get this f.e. from the URL of the folder which could look like:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CXyv3332kkkKKeD9lZFQlMhzdvdZZo which results in 1CXyv3332kkkKKeD9lZFQlMhzdvdZZo

Usage

You can do backups with the following commands make sure you're in the directory of the main.py.

to upload the whole directory: python3 main.py --upload /Users/foo/Documents/Skydive -google -dir

to upload a single file python3 main.py --upload "/Users/foo/Documents/Skydive/Me.jpeg" -google

to see the last 20 logs (only successful uploads and errors) in console python3 main.py -logs

Googledrive Setup

To use the Googledrive API you have to follow these steps:

https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/enable-drive-api

after activating the drive API, you must add the e-mail from your service to a Googledrive folder in which you'll also backup all the stuff.

Feature Dev and Contributions

Please use the two functions in main.py to either upload a single file or dir and connect it to the files in /backups to keep the structure. Use the settings.py for CONSTANTS like API tokens and filepaths to secrets.

Fork it and create a PR.

Idea's to build

• command to create and edit a cronjob (auto-backup)
• different backups like dropbox, Applecloud, Onedrive,..
• You have a good future idea? -> Create an issue!
