elesiuta / backupy Goto Github PK

backupy is a really neat utility, we really would like to use it, especially for our data management on Windows.

The complete blocker for us is that it does not support symlinks (in the way, e.g. robocopy on Windows or cp on Linux routinely do). On Linux, backupy copies the target of a symlink rather than the symlink itself, which also is a blocker for us.

(It is really convenient to use relative symlinks in some types of data and we use lots of them.)

It would be great to have symlink support in backupy - simply back them up verbatim; does not seem to be a large feature.

As title, is it possible to implement "rsync --remove-source-files"? It will save lots of steps to handle the source files.

They should search the entire path.

Thank you for managing this useful backup tool.

When I run the backupy on windows command prompt, the color tags are not properly displayed. This is because the color tags such as [94m, [0m, and [95m are not supported in windows command prompt. Some users (like me) who want to save the output into the file will face the same problem even in the Mac and Linux. Therefore, I'd like to suggest adding an option named for example nocolor to remove color tags from stdout. My backupy version and a minimal example follow:

Version:

$ pip freeze | grep BackuPy
BackuPy==1.8.2

Sample command:

mkdir srcdir dstdir; touch srcdir/test01.txt; backupy --noprompt srcdir dstdir > out.log

The contents of out.log:

If possible, the <0x1b> Esc character is preferred to be removed.

Would it be possible to clear the trash and archive folders after a specified number of days to keep them from growing indefinitely? I still like having the safety net that the trash and archives provide, so I'd rather not enable the "--noarchive" option.

Regex doesn't seem to work with all regex pattern matching operators. I want to exclude directories that contain python virtual environments which have a variety of names. something like /_env/ works but not the /[^.]_env/ below... I want to match on all characters except for a dot (.) in directory names: https://regex101.com/r/kpYkVr/1

backupy ~/dev /Volumes/exFAT-1TB/backups/dev --fe /node_modules/ /[^.]_env/ /amplify/

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

In my disk G:\ there is a folder unreadable, so I got:
