Cloud Backup

Backup and archive ordinary files and folders to Google Cloud, AWS or Azure.

Get started

This program requires Python 3.6 or newer with PIP.

1. Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/VictorWesterlund/cloud-backup

2. Install dependencies

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Copy environment variables file

cp .env.example .env

4. Edit environment variables Open .env with your text editor of choice and fill out these required variables

# Path to the local folder to back up
SOURCE_FOLDER=
# Name of the remote bucket (destination)
TARGET_BUCKET=

# Cloud provider (gcs, s3, azure)
SERVICE_NAME=
# Path to service account key file
SERVICE_KEY=

5. Run backup script

python3 backup.py

Second-level files and folders should now start uploading to your destination bucket as zip archives. Subsequent runs of the backup.py script will only upload changed files and folders. In-fact; modified state is cached locally and doesn't request anything from your cloud provider.
