|                |  Install                                         |
|----------------|------------------------------------------ |
| ArchLinux      | `$ pacaur -S gutbackup` |
| Manually       | `$ git clone git@github.com/gutenye/gutbackup.git` |

Getting Started
---------------

``` bash
Mount backup USB drive to /backup
$ mkdir -p /backup/conf/hello
$ vi /backup/conf/hello/default

backup_options="-aP"
    files="
    /etc/fstab
    /etc/mtab
    "

$ gutbackup backup hello -- --dry-run
> rsync --files-from /tmp/files.gutbackup -aP --dry-run / /backup/hello/
```

That's it, as you can see, it just build a rsync command using options from `/backup/conf/hello/default` bash file.

**Backup to another location**

```
$ gutbackup backup hello -to /tmp/backup
> backup to /tmp/backup
> read conf from /tmp/backup/conf/hello/default
```

**Backup to another location with another conf directory**

```
$ gutbackup backup hello -to /tmp/backup -conf /etc/backup
> backup to /tmp/backup
> read conf from /etc/backup/hello/default
```

**Configuration**

You can provide options in four locations, later one override the previous. They are just plain bash files.

- system-wide: `/etc/gutbackup.conf`
- local-wide: `$conf/<profile>.conf`
- local-wide: `$conf/<profile>/<instance>`
- cmdline

```
# edit /etc/gutbackup.conf

from="/"
  to="/backup"
  conf="$to/conf"

# edit /backup/conf/hello.conf

backup_options="-aP"

# edit /backup/conf/hello/default

files="/etc/fstab"

# edit /backup/conf/hello/data

files="/root"

# cmdline

$ gutbackup backup <profile> [instance] [options] -- [rsync-options]
  $ gutbackup backup hello     # if you omit the instance, it's "default".
  $ gutbackup backup hello data -from / -to /backup -conf /backup/conf -- --dry-run
```
