# Backup Telegram with bot token
This is a Telegram bot designed to back up messages and media files from Telegram chats to a local file system and a SQLite database. It handles various types of media including photos, videos, documents, voice messages, and more.
## Features
- Backups text messages and various media types (photos, videos, documents, etc.)
- Stores message details and media file paths in a SQLite database
- Asynchronously downloads media files to a specified directory
- Configurable via environment variables
## Requirements
- Python 3.7 or later
- Dependencies specified in `requirements.txt`
## Setup
### 1. Clone the Repository
### 2. Create a Virtual Environment
```bash
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`
```
### 3. Install Dependencies
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### 4. Create a `.env` File
Create a `.env` file in the project root with the following content:
```
BOT_TOKEN=your_telegram_bot_token
DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///telegram_backup.db
MEDIA_BACKUP_DIR=telegram_media_backup
```
Replace `your_telegram_bot_token` with your actual Telegram bot token. The `DATABASE_URL` specifies the SQLite database file location (you can change this if you use a different database). `MEDIA_BACKUP_DIR` is the directory where media files will be stored.
### 5. Run the Bot
```bash
python bot.py
```
The bot will start polling for new messages and will back up messages and media to the specified directory and database.
