How to Use

To get started, you have to edit params.json:

• folder_to_backup: list of folders to backup
• tmp_store_folder: folder to store the temporarily the backup on the local pc
• ssh
  • enable: 1/0 to enable/disable the ssh copy. If it's 0, the other parameters in ssh can be left empty ""
  • ip: ip address to the machine connected via ssh
  • port: ssh port (22 is the default)
  • user: user used to connect via ssh
  • folder: folder in which the backup is stored once sended
• log
  • enable: 1/0 to enable/disable the logging to file. If it's 0, the other parameters in log can be left empty ""
  • folder: path to the folder in which it's written the .log file

after you have modified the parameters, simply launch compressore.py:

$ python compressore.py

Dependencies

• Systems:
• Linux
• Mac Os
• Packages:
• python >= 3.0
• tar
• pbzip2
• sshpass
• scp

Problems

• The logging to file still doesn't work with shell commands.
• Right now this project works only on *nix systems. I'm currently developing a solution to make it work on Windows.
• It's not the best python code you have ever seen, I apologize for that but I have a strong Java background 🤷, I will make it more "python friendly".

For any help, your pr are VERY apriciated! Thanks!
