More information about this script avaiable at: http://damontimm.com/code/dt-s3-backup
TO DO:
==TO DO==
* Add a README file to the "--backup-this-script" option because, if you are like me, when it is working for so long I forget what to do when it comes time to restore
* Clean up general formatting of the script and make it pretty
* give demo on how to use an "--archive-dir" option
* test --restore-file (specific) option <--- marionline --- seem to work fine for me
* test --restore-file (specific) option <--- marionline --- seem to work fine for me, test with little archive
* Add --restore-dir option
=== USAGE EXAMPLE ===
You must configure the script before using it you can config it with your favorites test editor(read comments in script).
You can put the script under bin directory of your user. If you have configured correctly your shell you will call dt-s3-backup.sh whenever you want.
Then make the script executable with "chmod +x".
==Common usage==
= View help
$ dt-s3-backup.sh
= Run an incremental backup of configured directory
$ dt-s3-backup.sh --backup
= Restore your backup
To restore the backup in the current work directory just run:
$ dt-s3-backup.sh --restore ./
You can provide another directory to restore, for example: I want to restore my backup in "my_restore" folder (not created yet or existing):
$ dt-s3-backup.sh --restore my_restore
If you don't provide a path you will prompt to answare some question to restore your backup
==Special usage==
= List files beckend up in the remote archive
$ dt-s3-backup.sh --list-current-files
= Restore a specific file
I have deleted my favourites picture file 'mygirlfriend.jpg' present in my "Pictures" home directory, I backup it with dt-s3-backup and I can restore it with:
$ dt-s3-backup.sh --restore-file Pictures/mygirlfriend.jpg
Now mygirlfriend.jpg is under "Pictures" directory.
But if I want to change the name when I restore it? I just need to provide a new name:
$ dt-s3-backup.sh --restore-file Pictures/mygirlfriend.jpg Pictures/myExgirlfriend.jpg
In my Pictures directory I have myExgirlfriend.jpg.
Attention: if "Pictures" directory doesn't exist you have got an error. You must provide an existing directory.
= Verifies the backup
$ dt-s3-backup.sh --verify
Then you can view the verification opening the log file (that you have previously configure).
