==============
Automated Tarsnap Backups in Ruby
I created this script to manage my tarsnap backups. I included the launchd script to manage the execution of the backup on a 4 hour interval.
The launchd script goes in /Library/LaunchDaemons.
```terminal
$ launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.aaronvb.tarsnap-backup.plist
$ launchctl start com.aaronvb.tarsnap-backup
```
Here's an example if you want setup more than one backup:
```ruby
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require_relative 'tarsnap'
# backups for project folder
#
settings = {
where_tarsnap: "/usr/local/bin/tarsnap",
log_path: "/Users/aaronvb/.tarsnap/logs",
to_backup: "/Users/aaronvb/projects",
backup_name: "projects",
prune_backups: 259200 # 3 days in seconds
}
tarsnap = Tarsnap.new(settings)
tarsnap.backup
# backups for document folder
#
settings = {
where_tarsnap: "/usr/local/bin/tarsnap",
log_path: "/Users/aaronvb/.tarsnap/logs",
to_backup: "/Users/aaronvb/Documents",
backup_name: "documents",
prune_backups: 259200 # 3 days in seconds
}
tarsnap = Tarsnap.new(settings)
tarsnap.backup
```
