[rsync](https://rsync.samba.org/) for\nits heavy lifting while adding some convenience on top.  \n  \nTo reduce disk space and subsequent backup times, dups relies on rsyncs\n`--link-dest` option which hardlinks to existing unchanged files.\n\n\n## Motivation\nBeing unable to find a backup utility which would allow me to...\n  * backup selected files and folders\n  * exclude files and folders based on their path or patterns\n  * easily access stored files without special tools  \n    (This includes the backup software itself)\n  * doesn't come with to much bloat\n\n...I ended up writing my own.  \nThis is not to say other software is bad, just not what I was\nlooking for.\n\n\n## Getting Started\nSee [deployment](#deployment) for notes on how to deploy dups on a live system.\n\n### Prerequisites\nRequired system packages:\n```\n[[ req-sys ]]\n```\n\nRequired python packages:\n```\n[[ req-py ]]\n```\n\n### Installing\nAfter all [prerequisites](#prerequisites) have been met, dups can be installed\nwith:\n```sh\n$ git clone https://github.com/linuxwhatelse/dups\n$ cd dups\n$ python setup.py install\n```\n\nSystem files for dbus, systemd etc. can be included by setting\n`INCLUDE_DATA_FILES` prior to running the installation.  \nThis will require root access to copy the files to their respective location\nand is therefore ill-advised for live systems.  \nFor live systems, see [deployment](#deployment) instead.\n```sh\n$ export INCLUDE_DATA_FILES=\"systemd dbus desktop\"\n$ python setup.py install\n```\nFor possible values see `get_data_files` in [setup.py](setup.py).  \n  \nBuild files/scripts for some distributions can be found in\n[data/pkg/](data/pkg/).\n\n### Usage\nFor a full setup guide and usage examples see the\n[wiki](https://github.com/linuxwhatelse/dups/wiki).\n\nAs a quick overview, here's dups main help message.  \nIndividual commands may have additional arguments.\n```\n[[ help ]]\n```\n\n## Deployment\nPackages for some distributions are automatically built and are available in\nthe [release](https://github.com/linuxwhatelse/dups/releases) section.\n  \nAdditionally, the following distributions have a version accessible through\ntheir package-manager.\n\n| Distribution | Link |\n| --- | --- |\n| archlinux | [aur - python-dups-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-dups-git/) |\n\n\n## Contributing\nPlease read [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details on our code of conduct, and the process for
