Very simple implementation of a configurable backup management (file-level).

## Config

It's very basic and supports folders with files and prefix only.

I support some spots to place the configuration. You can install

a fresh version via:

- in script folder

  `cp rob.dist.yml rob.yml`

- in users home folder

  `cp rob.dist.yml ~/.rob.yml`

You can config the following keys:

```yml

---

# rob.yml

Common:

  - keep:

    files: 10

    path: /tmp/

    file_prefix: db-backup

  - keep:

    files: 3

    path: /tmp/

    file_prefix: mega-backup

```

Notes:

- old `config.yml` files are deprecated but still loaded.

## Usage

Supported commands are:

- `-h` for help

- `-d` for active deletion mode (*dry run* is default)

There is a `docker-compose.yml` for local testing.

## Dependencies

- `pyyaml` ([pyyaml](https://pypi.org/project/PyYAML/))
