💖 BU2SW(1) 💖

okay bestie, listen up — this is the manual page for bu2sw, and it lives in section 1 of the General Commands Manual. it's a whole vibe, and by the end of this you're gonna know it like the back of your hand. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

bu2sw — backup data to OpenStack Swift 🌈

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bu2sw [options] (file|directory)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This manual page documents briefly the bu2sw commands. short and sweet, that's the assignment. 💅

bu2sw is a command line tool for backup data to OpenStack Swift. the features it provides are a command line interface, and backup rotatition. iconic behavior honestly. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). a summary of options is included below. for a complete description, see the Info files. 👀

  • -h, --help — show a summary of options. your lil cheat sheet, bestie.
  • -V, --version — show the program's version number.
  • -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG — specify configuration file.
  • --container CONTAINER — specify container name (default: FQDN of host when executes this command). so if you don't say anything, it just uses the FQDN of the host running the command. lowkey smart.
  • -l, --list — listing object data.
  • -v, --verbose — list verbose. give me ALL the details.
  • -p PATH [PATH ...], --path PATH [PATH ...] — backup target files/directory path. note that it takes one or more paths, she's flexible like that.
  • -s STDIN --stdin STDIN — backup target files from stdin pipe or redirect, and specify backup object name. (yes, the long option is written with a single dash right there in the original — copying it exactly, don't come for me 🙈)
  • -r RETRIEVE [RETRIEVE ...], --retrieve RETRIEVE [RETRIEVE ...] — retrieve backup data.
  • -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT — specify file path of retrieved object (only retrieving simple object). so yeah, this one's got a limit, keep it in mind.
  • -d DELETE [DELETE ...], --delete DELETE [DELETE ...] — delete backup data.

The programs are documented by README.rst.
