MyCloudBackup

=============



We use dozens of cloud services on a daily basis. Most of them are a wonderful

thing, making our lifes easier and bringing great functionality.



But should you trust these services with all your valued private data?

What if one of those services should go down, cease operations, or be hacked?



This program gets all of your precious data from  your cloud services, and

backs it up to a storage of your choice (your own hard drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3,

an FTP Server, ...) so you always have a backup if something happens.



You can select the services you use, and back them up to the storage of your

choice.



MCB works from the command line, and also has a GUI.

Installation

============



You can install MyCloudBackup by using setuptools pip

Install setuptools: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools



On linux systems you would do this:



sudo pip install mycloudbackup



---------------------------------

-IMPORTANT NOTE - PYTHON VERSION-

---------------------------------



MCB runs well with Python3, but many of the dependencies exist only for Python2.

So you should run MCB with python2.



If you have multible pythons on your system,

be sure to use the Python2 pip for installing.

If your systems default version is Python3,

you also need to start MCB with the python2 executable.



for example:



python2 mcb

python2 mcb-gui



Usage

=====



Usage - GUI

===========



Start the GUI with mcb-gui



The GUI is a work in progress, but the essentials work.

You can already add new services and run the backup process.



Usage - CLI

===========



Run mcb -h to show help.

You can easily add configuration and run backups with the CLI.
