thynkon/lifesaverc

A simple C program that backups some files

lifesaverc

lifesaverc is a C program that compresses a file/directory and sends it to a backup server through a ssh tunel.

Usage

The following example uses bz2 compression algorithm by default and only logs error messages.

lifesaverc -f myfile -o myfile.tar.bz2

If you want more log messages, use the -v option to increase the log level.

lifesaverc -f myfile -o myfile.tar.bz2 -vvv

You can choose the compression algorithm.

lifesaverc -jf myfile -o myfile.tar.bz2 -vvv

or

lifesaverc -zf myfile -o myfile.tar.gz -vvv

For further details use the -h option

lifesaverc -h
