🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So here's the vibe: Brebis parses backups (archives and file trees) to perform several different checks, all so you can verify your backup integrity and its associated content. literally its whole job. no cap. 👑

  • -C DIR, --output-conf-dir DIR — the directory to store the configuration file
  • -d DELIMITER, --delimiter DELIMITER — delimiter of the fields for the list of files
  • -E FILE, --exceptions-file FILE — delimiter of the fields for the list of files
  • -g, --gen-list — generate a list of files inside a backup
  • -G, --gen-full — generate the configuration file and the list of files for the backup
  • *-H, --hashes — generate the hash sum of each encountered file in the backup
  • *--hashtype HASHTYPE — the type of the hash sum to use while generating configurations for the archive
  • -l FILE, --log FILE — the log file
  • -L DIR, --output-list-dir DIR — the directory to store the list of files inside an archive or tree
  • -O DIR, --output-list-and-conf-dir DIR — the directory to store the configuration file and the list of files inside an archive or tree

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈
