AutoArchive Description

A simple archiving utility for backups. AutoArchive is a simple utility written in Python designed to make backups easier. It uses tar for creating archives. The idea of the program is that every information needed for making a backup is in one file - the archive spec file. Path to this file is passed as a parameter to 'aa' command which reads informations from it and creates desired backup.Usageaa/autoarchive AA_SPEC...Options:--version show program's version number and exit-h, --help show this help message and exit-v, --verbose Turns on verbose output.-a ARCHIVER, --archiver=ARCHIVER Specify archiver type. Supported types are: ('tar', 'targz', 'tarbz2', 'tarlzma') (default: tarbz2).-i, --incremental Perform incremental backup.-l LEVEL, --level=LEVEL Specify backup level which should be created. Informations about higher levels will be erased. If not present, creates next level in a row.-c NUM, --compresion-level=NUM Compression level. If not specified, default behaviour of underlying compression program will be used.AA_SPEC is an archive spec file. It specifies what should be archived and thearchive name. Its standard file name extension is ".aa". For syntax please see'Archive spec file format' chapter. It is possible to specify multiple ".aa"files. What's New in This Release: · Specified GNU GPL version in file headers (bug #2691699). · No GNU GPL version was specified in headers of source code files which was confusing about used version of the license. Now every source file specifies version 3 of the GNU GPL license. · Added example files (bug #2692252). · Added some example '.aa' configuration files to doc directory. · Created autoarchive symlink to aa command and aa man page (bug #2692266). · Created symbolic link to aa command named 'autoarchive'. It is thus possible to use either aa or autoarchive command. Same for the man page.
