This is a Python-based backup tool using [rsync](https://rsync.samba.org/) including backups for repositories based on [Git](https://git-scm.com/) and [Mercurial](https://www.mercurial-scm.org/).

## Usage

```shell

Dev Sync

usage: devsync.py [-h] [--last_update YEAR MONTH DAY] [--dry-run] target config

Backup Data and Repositories to external devices.

positional arguments:

  target                Destination path the where backup should be stored

  config                Path to config file

optional arguments:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  --last_update YEAR MONTH DAY

                        Last time update was performed. This will just update repositories after this date.

                        Format: YYYY MM DD (default: (1970, 1, 1))

  --dry-run             Perform a dry run without making real changes (default: False)

```

## Config

The config file defines which folders should be saved. A sample config could look like below, which will backup all folders from `backupFolder` list relative to `home`

```shell

home: /home/user                    # Source root folder

backupFolder:                       # Folders that should be saved (relative to "home" variable)

  - path: Pictures                  # Folder name

  - path: Documents

  - path: Development

```

uv pip install -r requirements.txt
