Hey everyone!
I was already aware of how rsync is so cool for incremental backups and a bunch of other things, and install is interesting for "atomic-ish" copies, moves, etc.; but today I learned about rclone (a CLI to transfer/sync files to any kind of backend (S3, Dropbox, G. Drive, etc.)), and also restic.
I stumbled upon these because I wanted a way to automate my Vaultwarden backups (and making sure restores as easy as pushing a button (or command)).
500 LOC later, I have what I unoriginally called vaultwarden-restic-backup, a Bash script that is meant to be ran as a cron job.
I'll open-source it soon (although I'm sure most of you can just ask any capable coding AI to help you write something similar for your own setup as well), but just wanted to share about these really cool tools I found today.
PS: it does take a while to setup permissions correctly on the Google end of things (probably easier for other platforms), but other that it's all pretty sweet 😎
Feel free to AMA if you found this interesting and want to know more.
