# simple-backup

A very very simple (under 30 LoC) **backup** and **restore** tool written in pure Bash

# Usage

- link executables to your bin path

- update the config `cp sample.mbackup.conf mbackup.conf`

- place the config in a clean git directory 

- run `mbackup`

  - looks for a `config` file in current working directory,

  - parses the config

  - copy each file/dir of config path to `./data`

- run `./mrestore`

  - looks for a `./config` file in current working directory,

  - parses the config

  - restore each entry if exists in `./data`

# Sample Config

```cfg

# AWM

/home/meta/.config/awesome/rc.lua

/home/meta/.config/awesome/mtheme.lua

/home/meta/.config/awesome/mlib

# Kitty

/home/meta/.config/kitty

# Tmux

/home/meta/.config/tmux

# Alacritty

/home/meta/.config/alacritty

```

# How does it works

- It parses the config for paths

- Copy the path _directory/file_ to `./data` with all slashes replaced with `_`

For example path of

`/home/meta/tmp/js` will go to `./m.dotfiles/data/_home_meta_tmp_js`
