Build the project

In order to copy the default configuration, please run the following script:

./bin/install_all.sh

In development, you can build the project with the following command:

GO111MODULE=off go get github.com/go-bindata/go-bindata/...
go generate ./...
go build -o build/go-backup ./cmd

Usage

You can directly run the binary (no arguments defaults the config to ./config.yml).

./build/go-backup run

Or specify the config file path :

./build/go-backup run -c $(pwd)/config.yml

And you can run this project with a real crontab command as well:

crontab -e

And add this lines at the end:

* * * * * {{absolute_path_to_go_backup_dir}}/build/go-backup run -c {{absolute_path_to_go_backup_dir}}/config.yml 2>> {{absolute_path_to_go_backup_dir}}/error.log

You can redirect the stdout to a log file to spot the configuration errors.
