  • How work

There are three file: s3rbackup.rb script for backup s3query.rb script for quering the database s3dbsync.rb library

  • s3rbackup.rb

To backup a directory: s3rbackup.rb test_dir/ To backup a directory with a backup name and a description: s3rbackup.rb -n “backup name” -d “backup description” test_dir/ You can add multiple directory to a single backup: s3rbackup.rb -n “backup name” -d “backup description” test_dir/ test_dir1/ test_dir2/

  • s3query.rb

To query your database and get backup files it’s based on command: s3query.rb [options] <search|get|unpack|delete> parameters

To search a word on database: s3query.rb search test To search file only by name on database: s3query.rb search name=test To search only file bigger than 1Mb on database: s3query.rb search size>1000000 To search by date s3query.rb search “datetime<2008/06/25_22:10” to get all file that match name=test: s3query.rb get name=test to get and extract all file that match name=test s3query.rb unpack name=test to get and extract only the lastest version of all file that match name=test s3query.rb unpack name=test –newer In similar way you can use delete.
