goosoft

This is a Google site for documentation (so I don't forget) of a personal Python project to help me with 3-2-1 backup on Linux; it is tailored for how I want to back up, eg, uses config files to control what to push/pull to OneDrive(s), GoogleDrive(s), and external drive(s).
This is a personal hobby project - I make no warranty or guarantee of functionality or securty.

Problem Statement

Multiple computers (Linux), external hard drives, cloud accounts

Want to flexibility and control re. how backups are done.

Note: The OneDrive and GoogleDrive accounts are consumer accounts (ie, not work).

This is for daily updates that need to be pushed to cloud backup.

Push files from working directory to cloud / external drive.

I should cron this but I like typing "goosoft push" at the end of the day.

We use OneDrive for our family workflow.
Food pics (a lot) are on OneDrive.

I use GoogleDrive for documentation - plus its collaboration features are really nice.

Every so often (... once a week, or when I remember) do a hygeine synch for 3-2-1.
