buer

A little backuper for my personal projects without extra dependencies. Compresses files to .lzma and folders to .tar.xz.

How to Use?

1. Edit config.json
   1. Enter the path of folder to contain your backups (as a string): backup_dest_dir
   2. Enter all the file/folder paths you want to back up (as a list of strings): files_and_folders
2. Run the script.

   python3 main.py [interval in seconds]

Example:

config.json

{
 "backup_dest_dir": "/home/user/backups",
 "files_and_folders": [
   "/home/user/important-folder-1",
   "/home/user/very-important-file-1",
   "/home/user/iwannabackup.this"
 ]
}

python3.11 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python main.py 3600
