happysync is a collection of scripts to perform archiving and [un]authenticated syncronization between local directories and Google Cloud Storage Buckets. It was written to sync large project files between multiple computers and additionally offer cloud backup.
Need a manifest of archive files created. What's in this, when was it created, and how is it to be extracted? Exact commands and dates are good
Use tar to -c create an archive and -v verbosely output to stderr, -f put it in a new file called output.tar, use source_dir as the input to archive, then redirect that stderr to a logfile so you can see what's in there.
export outfile=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
tar -cvf output.tar source_dir 2> output.log
