What is GramUp?

GramUp is a lightweight python program to backup your files. GramUp enables you unlimited cloud backup and easy restore functionality and that too for free. With GramUp, monthly bills for cloud storage will be a thing of the past.

How does it work?

GramUp uses Telegram's unlimited cloud storage for backup. All your files are stored on Telegram servers and secured by their encryption. You can select a chat ( usually saved messages ) to use and GramUp will send all files to that chat and later at an event of restoration download files from there. Since both Telegram and GramUp are opensource you don't have to worry about someday suddenly you having to pay for your storage.

Key Features

  • Just send 'use_this_chat' to any chat and GramUp will automatically select that chat for backup.
• Easy setup
  • With easy 3 steps guided setup process, it is easier than you can imagine.

Create a help menu

The users of gramup seem to be confused as to how to use it. Most users are able to create backups and even restore, but most are unaware of how to use more of the advanced features.

The feature:

• A main menu item by the name "Help"
• Selecting it should navigate to a sub-menu listing features of GramUp
• Select any one of the features to see how to use it and how it works
• If possible add an option to show in-depth help where more of the technical details are explained ( maybe including the code )

libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

wget http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb

Install lib using this command

File list creation taking too long.

Currently, GramUp is using glob to list the files present in the backup folder. This is taking quite a long time. It would be much after if it is implemented using some other technique. One possible solution is to use C, this would make the process incredibly fast but would be quite a challenge to code. In my opinion, the best method would be to do it in python itself but optimize it by not using regex ( unlike glob ) to do the searching.

This is how we are currently doing it:

GramUp/gramup/utils.py

Line 178 in 13f57c8

for path in Path(root).rglob('*') :

A simple list dir can't be used as we need to get all files recursively, something in the line of os.walk might be appropriate.
