Backupper

A file back-up utility with asynchronous I/O for Linux.

Features

• Backs up files from one directory into another as they are modified
• Deletes files from both directories, if file is prefixed with "delete_"
• Schedules file deletion for later time, if file is prefixed with "delete_ISODATETIME_"
• Logs all actions
• Displays and filters logs based on action, filename regex and time
• Preserves filter state between application reboots
• Preserves file list scheduled for deletion

Building

Prerequisites:

• Linux machine
• GCC 11*
• make

* - any compiler with C++17 support should do the trick, but Makefile might require minor changes (especially ${CC} variable)

To build, run:

make

Usage

To start backupper, run:

backupper [hotDir] [bakDir]

Where [hotDir] and [bakDir] are paths to directories. While backupper is running, you should be able to browse logs using keystrokes defined in brackets ([]).
