AutoArchive is a simple utility written in Python designed to make backups easier. It uses tar for creating archives. The idea of the program is that every information needed for making a backup is in one file - the archive spec file. Path to this file is passed as a parameter to 'aa' command which reads informations from it and creates desired backup.
Usage
aa/autoarchive [options] AA_SPEC...
Options:
--version
show program's version number and exit
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose
Turns on verbose output.
-a ARCHIVER, --archiver=ARCHIVER
Specify archiver type. Supported types are: ('tar', 'targz',
'tarbz2', 'tarlzma') (default: tarbz2).
-i, --incremental
Perform incremental backup.
-l LEVEL, --level=LEVEL
Specify backup level which should be created. Informations about higher
levels will be erased. If not present, creates next level in a row.
-c NUM, --compresion-level=NUM
Compression level. If not specified, default behaviour of underlying
compression program will be used.
AA_SPEC is an archive spec file. It specifies what should be archived and the
archive name. Its standard file name extension is ".aa". For syntax please see
'Archive spec file format' chapter. It is possible to specify multiple ".aa"
files.
What is new in this release:
- This version fixes a crash when used with Python 3.3.
What is new in version 0.5.0:
- Listing of all configured archives and detailed information about them has been added.
- With this feature, you can see the current backup level of an archive.
- AutoArchive is now able to show and purge stored internal data for no-longer-existing archives.
- Many additional small improvements and bugfixes have been added.
What is new in version 0.3.1:
- Info, warning, and error output messages now contain the name of the archive being processed; this is particularly helpful when processing multiple archives in a single run. This release fixes setting of the exit code, reading of the user-config-dir and user-config-file options, and more.
What is new in version 0.1.2:
- Specified GNU GPL version in file headers (bug #2691699).
- No GNU GPL version was specified in headers of source code files which was confusing about used version of the license. Now every source file specifies version 3 of the GNU GPL license.
- Added example files (bug #2692252).
- Added some example '.aa' configuration files to doc directory.
- Created autoarchive symlink to aa command and aa man page (bug #2692266).
- Created symbolic link to aa command named 'autoarchive'. It is thus possible to use either aa or autoarchive command. Same for the man page.
