A backup tool for the linux desktop.
Written on top of duplicity, this tool pushes backups kept locally to secondary storage (currently, an attached disk).
- multiple primary backups (different directories can be backed up)
- multiple destinations per primary backup (e.g. a disk at home and one at the office)
- scheduled backups (1), (2)
- notifications
Notes:
(1) Duplicity supports a vast amount of options, so you have to provide a shell command which executes duplicity.
(2) A backup is currently made when the last backup is a certain amount of time ago. This is perfect for laptops.
Triplicity can currently be considered alpha.
- no tests
- no way of configuration (have not decided on this yet)
- no installation instruction (need to figure this out)
- ridiculously small (and usually not configurable) time constants, to ease development and debugging
If you find a bug or have some improvement, this is highly appreciated. Please file a pull request on Github.
Please strip trailing whitespace and indent with two spaces. Source files should end in a newline. Well readable and (ruby-)idiomatic code is preferred.
Lacking configuration and installation, getting Triplicity up is a bit involved.
If you haven't already install bundler, then run
bundle install
Copy test.rb.example to test.rb, modify for your needs and run
ruby -Ilib test.rb
(If you like you can use pry instead of ruby)
