Cloudcity

Cloudcity is a bash script that makes backing up a system to Cloud Files via Duplicity a bit easier.

Cloud Files is Rackspace's take on remote file storage and is similar to Amazon's S3. Learn more here: http://www.rackspacecloud.com

Cloudcity depends on the following additional software: python-cloudfiles-1.6.0 http://github.com/rackspace/python-cloudfiles duplicity-0.5.18: http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/duplicity/duplicity-0.5.18.tar.gz This program has not been tested with other versions of the above software.

You will need to modify the first part of the script, which is all configuration. At a minimum, you must add your Cloud Files username and API key, as well as a GPG passphrase of your choice.

Usage: cloudcity [OPTIONS] [FILE] Options: -a AGE Specifies the age (in days) of the archived file or directory to be restored. -h Displays this helpful information. -l Lists all the files currently stored in the backup repository. -m Automatically moves restored items to their original locations from the restore directory. -s Displays the status of the backup chains and sets in the backup repository. Examples: cloudcity Performs an incremental or full backup, depending on whether or not the latter is due. cloudcity /home/foo/ Restores /home/foo to the directory specified by the RESTORE constant. cloudcity -ma2 /home/foo/bar.rb Restores bar.rb as it existed two days ago and moves it from the restore directory to /home/foo/.
