Once you have your config set up, you can run it like so:\n\n    pyckup -s photos -t amazon_photos\n\nThis will back up your photos source to your amazon\\_photos target.  You can also backup to multiple targets by using:\n\n    pyckup -s photos -t amazon_photos,local_photos\n\nThis way you can have a local copy for quick restores, as well as a backup in s3 for disaster recovery when your local backup dies.\n\nThe --help option should explain everything else you can do with pyckup.\n\nCurrently backups have been tested on local filesystem, amazon s3, and using scp.\n\n#TODO\n\nAdd support for Rackspace CloudFiles.\n\nAdd support for these duplicity flags:\n    --full-if-older-than\n    --file-to-restore\n    --time\n    --restore-time\n    --volsize\n    --asynchronous-upload (experimental in duplicity)\n\n\n#Disclaimer\nThis software comes with no guarantees and very well may destroy your backups and burn your external hard drives.  Use at your own risk.\n\n#License\nThis software is uncopyrighted.  Do whatever you like with it, recognition is appreciated.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fthroughnothing%2Fpyckup","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fthroughnothing%2Fpyckup","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fthroughnothing%2Fpyckup/lists"}
