Simple Backup

Looking for a simple way to watch a directory for changes then upload them to an S3 compatible storage provider? This is the tool for you!

Getting Started

Set the following environment variables:

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• AWS_SERVICE_URL

Then run the following command:

dotnet run --project src/SimpleBackup/SimpleBackup.csproj --Dir /path/to/watch --Bucket bucket-name

Not Ready for Production Use

It's fine for running on your machine but there is no re-try logic if you're offline and all that good stuff. I'll get around to it someday.

Notes:

I set this up to use Cloudflare R2 storage, but it should work with any S3 compatible storage provider. You just might have to change the DisablePayloadSigning = true in the Daemon.cs file.

It's also using UseSystemd() but you can change that to UseWindowsService() if you're on Windows. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/extensions/windows-service?pivots=dotnet-8-0
