rs-backup's Introduction

remoteStorage Backup/Restore

This program allows you to backup your data from a remoteStorage account to a local hard drive, and restore it either to the same account, or another account or server.

Install

With node.js and npm installed on your computer:

npm install -g rs-backup

Usage

rs-backup -o path_to_backup_dir
rs-restore -i path_to_backup_dir

Note that the backup directory will be emptied first, in order to prevent data inconsistencies that would break your apps. Thus, if you want to preserve older versions of your data, back them up to different directories (e.g. incl. the backup date).

You can optionally pass a user address and an authorization token via CLI arguments, for example when setting up a regular backup job. See rs-backup --help for info.

rs-backup's Issues

Category filter option (-c) doesn't include public dir

Need to add the public/${category} as well.

Don't fail silently on request errors

Only 2xx responses should be written to disk. Any other response should stop the backup and alert the user to the problem.

Unable to backup files with pound signs in their filename

Follow-up from #11, this is on 1.6.0

I uploaded a file named Paranoïd #test.jpg using Sharesome to my account.

Here's the path from the server log:

/gregkare/public/shares/thumbnails/180412-1401-Paranoi%CC%88d%20%23test.jpg.png

When trying to backup my account using rs-backup I get a 404 on that file. Path from the log:

/gregkare/public/shares/thumbnails/180412-1401-Paranoi%CC%88d%20`

It cuts off right after the space, and before the #

Progress update for big files

With big files or a slow connection the download can easily seems stuck.
Would be nice have progress updates for each file.

Output could be silenced

I run this via node exec and it crashes with RangeError [ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER]: stdout maxBuffer length exceeded, which I currently fix by setting its maxBuffer to 5 * 1024 * 1024, but I suppose a --silent flag could be generally useful as well.

fills screen with garbage, regardless of arguments passed

to reproduce
Under macOS 11.6.1, with node v14.16.1 installed:

install with npm install -g rs-backup
run with rs-backup

Expected outcome: console message: 'Please provide a backup directory path via the --backup-dir option'

Actual outcome: screen filled with garbage:

Output on a single line, or at least not one per object write
Output for directory ops
Some kind of progress indicator or at least spinner
