# simple-backup
This creates a backup on the local filesystem, but does not persist it anywhere else. Right now
the best solution i have to to manually upload this to proton drive.

## configure
Can add new backups to this by adding another conf file. See services.json for examples and exclude patterns for more details.

## running
Can run with ./backup.py, or create a cron job.
current crontab entry is. (every sat at 0105.)
```
sudo crontab -e
5 1 * * 6 /home/craig/services/simple-backup/backup.py >> /var/log/simple-backup.log 2>&1
```
want to change this to once a week or something, just like on sunday
## exlude patterns
Uses simple "filter" in "path", so no globbing/regexing.

For directories, having a trailing slash means it includes the dir but none of its contents.
