💿 DISCOSYNC(1) — the DiscoDOS backup & sync tool

okay bestie, gather round, because this is discosync, part of the DiscoDOS family, and she is here to keep your DiscoBASE safe and sound. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

discosync [--help] [--verbose] [--type] [--backup | --restore | --show]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, discosync is the little icon that saves your DiscoBASE up to the cloud, and pulls it back down again if something went terribly wrong (and bestie, things do go wrong 🙈). It can also be used to share your DiscoBASE between multiple computers, which is giving main character energy for anyone with more than one machine. 💅

Right now there are two options for storing the backups:

  • Dropbox 🍓
  • A folder on a webserver 🌐
To initially set up discosync please follow the configuration steps in the DiscoDOS manual, fr fr, don't skip this part: https://github.com/JOJ0/discodos/blob/master/MANUAL.md#discosync---the-discodos-backup--sync-tool

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and exits. iconic behaviour honestly.
  • -v, --verbose — turns up the log verbosity. -v -> INFO level, -vv -> DEBUG level. the more v's, the more she yaps. 🗣️
  • -t {dropbox}, --type {dropbox} — picks your synchronisation type: dropbox (the default) or webdav. or, if you're feeling lazy, just in short: d or w. slay. ✨
  • -b, --backup — backup time 💖
  • -r, --restore — restore time 🫶
  • -s, --show — show time 👀
