backup-scripts

This repository contains a set of scripts that I run regularly to backup my content from local and online locations.

Supported sources

Fully operational:

• Boards from Trello
• Playlists and saved/liked tracks from Spotify
• Playlists and tracks added to Openwhyd

May not work as expected:

• Markdown notes from hackmd.io

In the future, I also plan to add support for:

• Diigo (bookmarks)
• local ssh keys

Features and design decisions

• Does not require to install any dependency except Docker
• Each backup process is split into 4 scripts:
  • backup: gather the data to backup, into a local file or directory
  • diff-changes: display what data was added/removed/changed since the last backup
  • zip-and-upload: move the local backup to a directory for long-term storage
  • clean-up: remove previous backups from the long-term storage directory, to save some space
• There's just one step that is manual/interactive: diff-changes, and it's optional
• Store the last backup in a long-term storage directory that can be synced online (e.g. Google Drive)
• The backup scripts can be run locally, or from a server

Status

Tested on:

• Mac OS 10.11.6 (El Capitan)
• macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave)

Requirements

• a bash terminal
• docker

Then, for each service: (e.g. Trello)

$ ./backup.sh && ./diff-changes.sh && ./zip-and-upload.sh && ./clean-up.sh
