Backup tool for linux and cloud storage

Many companies propose some cloud storage for free and it can be used perfectly to backup private data. The good review of free cloud storage is here: https://www.thebalanceeveryday.com/free-cloud-storage-1356638. This backup tool supports flexible configuration for any number of backup paths with independent scheduling, cloud binding, file / folder excluding, compression, encryption. The tool automatically tracks backup scheduling so it can be put to cron to run one a day. For now Google Drive and Yandex Disk are supported only

Installation

(if needed) install google drive tool https://github.com/odeke-em/drive and init some folder
(if needed) install yandex disk tool: https://github.com/abbat/ydcmd and configure it
install gnupg from linux distributive's repository
clone and compile program (no external dependencies are needed):

go build .
edit cloud-backup.ini file (see comments inside) and put it along with executable or in the root of home folder
add it to /etc/crontab for every night running e.g. 4 0 * * * user_name /home/st/user/backup/cloud-backup

Running

cloud-backup - check backup schedule and perform backup if needed
cloud-backup reset - reset backup state file
cloud-backup clear-archive - remove backup files from google drive
cloud-backup restore - restore backup to the working directory

Process

When program is executed it loads state file. State file contains data hash and date of last backup for every backup path. Then it checks every path's backup period. If it is time that data at the path is compressed, compressed data's hash is compared to the hash from previous backup; if hashes don't match compressed data is encrypted and pushed to cloud
