✨ NAME ✨

storeBackup_du.pl — bestie, this is the little script that does a du but for your backups 💖 It checks out the disk usage in one or more backup directories. That's it, that's the vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

storeBackup_du.pl [-v] [-l] backupdirs ...

Like, you hand it backup dirs and it tells you how much space they're eating. Iconic behavior tbh. 💅

💫 OPTIONS 💫

  • --verbose, -v — okay so this one is the yapper option 🗣️ It prints accumulated values for multiple versions (days) of backuped files — and it also shows you the steps while it's calculating the space used by the backups you specified. So you see the whole glow-up process, not just the final number. Very main character of it. 🔥
  • --links, -l — this one also prints statistic about how many links the files have, plus how much space that link situation saves you. The way that hard links are out here saving your storage... we love to see it 🫶 Obsessed, honestly. ✨
