- s3rbackup
It's a backup system based on amazon s3 backend.

- Features
* One command to backup a directory, one command to retrieve.
* Compressed file on S3, transparent compression/decompression on local system.
* Local database with metadata of every file, database can be also automatically
saved and retrived from S3.
* Query to database for file searching.
* Multiple database at one time
* Multiple compression type (see doc/stats.txt for speed results) selectable from config or command line

- Install
sudo gem install niky81-s3rbackup -s http://gems.github.com

- Configure
You need a file called ~/.s3rbackup/config.yml in your home directory
(see doc/config.*) with:

  access_key_id: your_amazon_access_key
  secret_access_key: your_secret_access_key
  bucket: your_default_bucket (can be changed in command line)
  sync_db: false  (true if local db must be sync with remote S3 db)
  bucket_db: your_database_bucket (if sync_db is true)
  bucket_log: s3rbackup_nik_log (if you want to specify where to log)
  log: true (if you want logging)


- How work
There are three file:
  s3rbackup.rb  script for backup
  s3query.rb script for quering the database
  s3dbsync.rb library

* s3rbackup.rb
To backup a directory:
  s3rbackup.rb test_dir/
To backup a directory with a backup name and a description:
  s3rbackup.rb -n "backup name" -d "backup description" test_dir/
You can add multiple directory to a single backup:
  s3rbackup.rb -n "backup name" -d "backup description" test_dir/ test_dir1/ test_dir2/

* s3query.rb
To query your database and get backup files it's based on command:
  s3query.rb [options] <search|get|unpack|delete> parameters

To search a word on database:
  s3query.rb search test
To search file only by name on database:
  s3query.rb search name=test
To search only file bigger than 1Mb on database:
  s3query.rb search size>1000000
To search by date
  s3query.rb search "datetime<2008/06/25_22:10"
to get all file that match name=test:
  s3query.rb get name=test
to get and extract all file that match name=test
  s3query.rb unpack name=test
to get and extract only the lastest version of all file that match name=test
  s3query.rb unpack name=test --newer
In similar way you can use delete.
