Backup Tool

Overview

This backup tool provides secure and efficient backup and retrieval of files using encryption and content-defined chunking (CDC). The tool supports scheduling backups, excluding specific file patterns, and compressing backups.

Features

• Create and connect to repositories with encryption.
• Backup files with content-defined chunking (CDC) for efficient deduplication.
• Retrieve files from backups.
• Schedule backups with specified time.
• Exclude specific file patterns from backups.
• Compression support.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/CeraMapleheart/20CYS495_Project_Phase_1.git
   cd backup_tool

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Create a Repository

python3 -m backup_tool.main repository_create --path <destination-path>

Example:

python3 -m backup_tool.main repository_create --path /path/to/repository

Connect to a Repository

python3 -m backup_tool.main repository_connect --path <destination-path>

Example:

python3 -m backup_tool.main repository_connect --path /path/to/repository

Create a Backup (with Exclusions and Compression)

python3 -m backup_tool.main backup_create --source <source-path> [--exclusions <pattern1> <pattern2> ...] [--compression <type>]

Example:

python3 -m backup_tool.main backup_create --source /path/to/source --exclusions '*.tmp' '*.log' --compression gzip

Retrieve Files

python3 -m backup_tool.main retrieve --root-hash <root-hash> --destination <destination-path>

Example:

python3 -m backup_tool.main retrieve --root-hash <root-hash> --destination /path/to/destination

Schedule a Backup

python3 -m backup_tool.main schedule --source <source-path> [--exclusions <pattern1> <pattern2> ...] [--compression <type>] --time <HH:MM>

Example:

python3 -m backup_tool.main schedule --source /path/to/source --time 02:00
