backupboxxx

Backups local files to your Dropbox account.

Install

$ go install github.com/meinside/backupboxxx@latest

Configuration

Get your Dropbox access token from:

Developers page > App console > [Your App] > Settings > OAuth2 > Generated access token > Generate

then create a file named config.json in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/backupboxxx/ or $HOME/.config/backupboxxx directory:

{
  "access_token": "PUT_YOUR_GENERATED_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"
}

Using Infisical

You can also use Infisical for retrieving your Dropbox access token:

{
  "infisical": {
    "client_id": "012345-abcdefg-987654321",
    "client_secret": "aAbBcCdDeEfFgG0123456789xyzwXYZW",

    "project_id": "012345abcdefg",
    "environment": "dev",
    "secret_type": "shared",
    "key_path": "/path/to/your/KEY_TO_DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN"
  }
}

You can get client_id and client_secret from the access control page of your Infisical project.

Backup List

After configuration, create a backup list file:

{
  "dirname": "backup_20190605",
  "files": [
    "~/.zshrc",
    "~/files/photos",
    "~someusername/somewhere/filename",
    "/etc/hosts"
  ],
  "ignore": [
    ".ssh",
    ".git",
    ".svn",
    ".DS_Store"
  ]
}

Run

Now run with the backup list file:

$ backupboxxx [backup-list-filepath]
