Node.js Backup Checker

Read-only verification: it does not change your backup content.

Installation

$ npm install -g nodejs-backup-checker

Usage

Generate the configuration file for an backup file:

$ nodejs-backup-checker generate /path/to/backup.tar.gz

Compare backup file with expected content stored in configuration file:

$ nodejs-backup-checker compare /path/to/backup.json

Example of configuration file:

{
  "files": [
    {
      "access": "rwxrwxrwx",
      "group": "pierre",
      "path": "/home/pierre/backup.tar.gz",
      "size": 100,
      "user": "pierre",
      "sha1": null
    }
  ]
}

Field	Description	Required	Type
access	Expected file access	true	string
group	Expected owner group	true	string
path	Absolute path to concerned file	true	string
size	Minimum expected file size in Mo	false	integer
user	Expected user name	true	string
sha1	TODO	false	string

TODO

• sha1 for compare command
• Check config file integrity before compare
• Write log file to report compare
• generate command must take -c option to provide configuration file path
• Improve test isolation (related to filesystem)
