Requirements

+ Python >= 2.7
+ Pip for Python 2.7 
+ MySQL

Installing

git clone https://github.com/nadirhamid/lback-py
cd lback-py
git submodule update --init
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

LBACK server

Running the lback server is required for local and non-local backup/restores. Please start the Lback server with

lback-server

You will also need to start the local agent.

lback-agent

Regular Backups (Local)

to run a local backup you can use:

lback backup "./folder"

this will instruct the program to backup the ./folder" locally and when done send a success message telling you it is complete.

Regular Restores (Local)

to restore a folder having backed it up, you need to have its id. Which can be found in the database or whenever a transaction is complete. For example:

lback restore "./folder"

this will fully restore this archive back to its initial state. Should it result in any error, it will throw a warning telling you what went wrong.

Other Commands

Removing a Backup

lback rm "./folder"

Listing all Backups

lback ls

Moving a backup

lback mv ./folder ./new_folder

REMOTE agents

To start an agent. Please use

lback-agent --host {host} --port {port}

Register this agent

lback agent-add {host} {port}

Verify the agent is registered and alive

lback agent-ls

NOTE: When you register agents your backups will be stored across all agents. And by default your CLI lback will use all agents for backup/restore lookup, moving, etc.
