#Pyckup

Pyckup is a wrapper around duplicity (http://duplicity.nongnu.org/duplicity.1.html) that allows you to setup multiple targets and sources, use public/private key encryption, and backup the same source to multiple locations easily, and with a single config

All the code is in one python file to make it easier to move around and distribute to other machines.

## Installation

Needed python packages:

    boto configobj

For ubuntu:

    sudo aptitude install python-boto python-configobj

Otherwise:

    pip install boto configobj

##Config

Here is a sample config for pyckup (sample\_pyckuprc in the repo).

    [TARGETS]

      aws_access_key_id = AWSACCESSKEYID1

      aws_secret_access_key = AWSSECRETACCESSKEY1

      [[amazon_photos]]

      aws_access_key_id = AWSACCESSKEYID2

      aws_secret_access_key = AWSSECRETACCESSKEY2

      path = s3+http://my_s3_bucket/duplicity-photos/

      encrypt = 2D9E0CB3

      [[amazon_dot_files]]

      # This target will use default aws_* fields from above

      path = s3://my_s3_bucket/duplicity-dot-files/

      encrypt = 2D9E0CB3

      [[local_photos]]

      path = file:///home/throughnothing/backups/photos/

      encrypt = none

      [[local_dot_files]]

      path = file:///home/throughnothing/backups/dot_files/

      encrypt = none

    [SOURCES]

      [[photos]]

      path = /home/throughnothing/Pictures/

      exclude = **

      include = *.jpg,*.JPG,*.jpeg,*.JPEG

      [[dot_files]]

      path = /home/throughnothing/

      exclude = **

      include = .vim,.vimrc,.irss,.ssh,.gnupg,.bashrc,.alias

##Usage

Pyckup is pretty simple to use.  Once you have your config set up, you can run it like so:

    pyckup -s photos -t amazon_photos

This will back up your photos source to your amazon\_photos target.  You can also backup to multiple targets by using:

    pyckup -s photos -t amazon_photos,local_photos

This way you can have a local copy for quick restores, as well as a backup in s3 for disaster recovery when your local backup dies.

The --help option should explain everything else you can do with pyckup.

Currently backups have been tested on local filesystem, amazon s3, and using scp.

#TODO

Add support for Rackspace CloudFiles.

Add support for these duplicity flags:

    --full-if-older-than

    --file-to-restore

    --time

    --restore-time

    --volsize

    --asynchronous-upload (experimental in duplicity)
