README

wsl-backup

Helper script for creating backups of WSL distributions.

## Installation

Compiled binaries can be found [here](https://github.com/DerYeger/wsl-backup/releases/latest).

## Usage

The script can be used from the directory of the `wsl-backup.exe` file with the following command, where `directory` is the target directory and `distro` is the name of an installed WSL distribution.

```bash
wsl-backup [directory [distribution]]
```

If `distribution` is omitted, all installed distributions will be exported.
If `directory` is omitted, users are prompted to enter a directory.

### Examples

```bash
wsl-backup D:\backup Ubuntu-20.04
```

```bash
wsl-backup \\nas\backups
```

### Scheduled backups

Backups can be scheduled using [Task Scheduler](https://www.windowscentral.com/how-create-automated-task-using-task-scheduler-windows-10).
