muckup

A simple backup utility built with Python and Click.

Installation

pip install muckup
or
git clone https://github.com/manorajesh/pyty.git
pip install -r requirements.txt
bin/muckup

Usage

muckup [-dntHi] SOURCE DESTINATION
Simply type in the source path (can be relative) and destination path (can also be relative). The script will copy everything in the source (or the entire file) and copy it to the destination with the default name (backup-%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S). Note: when copying one file, the extension will not be preserved.

Command Option Help

-n, --name TEXT: Change the default name from backup to any string
-t, --timestamp: Remove timestamp from the name
-H: Dereference symbolic links (i.e. copy files and/or folders pointed to by symbolic links)
-i: Request a (y/n) confirmation before preforming backup command (WIP)
-g TEXT: Change timestamp format using the time.strftime directives.
-h, --help: Show this message in shorter form.
