Add support for file backups on backwork
.
This plug-in is build on top of tar
.
You can use pip
to install this plug-in:
$ pip install backwork-backup-files
After installing the plug-in you will be able to use the backup files
and restore files
commands
on backwork
:
$ backwork backup files -h
usage: backwork backup files [-h] -f FILE
Back up one or more files. It uses `tar -cz` which gzips the output. You can
use any of the arguments supported by `tar`. Add a list of files and
directories you want backed up as the last thing in the line. Use `tar --help`
for more information.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-o FILE, --output FILE output gzipped file path
You can pass any option that you would normally use with tar
:
$ backwork backup files -o foo.tgz --verbose /tmp /var/log
As shown in the --help
message, there is one required arguments you
must use in your backup process.
-o FILE
or --output FILE
will save the output of tar
into a
file.
usage: backwork restore files [-h] input
Restore one or more files from a .tar.gz file. It uses `tar xvzf`. You can
use any of the arguments supported by `tar`. Use `tar --help` for more
information.
positional arguments:
input .tar.gz file to restore from
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
Important: There is a conflict with the -h
argument since it is reserved
for the help/usage message. Use --dereference
to follow symlinks.
