dirsync

An off-site data backup solution that is efficient, incremental and can prevent data degradation.

How it works

  1. Gen .dirmap on both sides

    (.dirmap is a JSON object with keys being paths of files and values being sha1sums, every file in the directory will be included in the .dirmap (unless specified in --exclude). Its generation uses github.com/MichaelTJones/walk, it is parallelized so it's quite performant)

  2. Compare .dirmap in dry-run mode to know how to sync (which files to copy / overwrite / delete) (dry-run mode)

  3. Execute the sync (when you remove the --dry-run flag).

Examples

/root/dirsync prepare-dir /a
/root/dirsync prepare-dir /b
/root/dirsync sync --source=/a --target=/b --dry-run
/root/dirsync sync --source=/a --target=/b --delete --dry-run
/root/dirsync sync --source=/a --target=/b --delete --dry-run
/root/dirsync sync --source=/a --target=/b
/root/dirsync sync --source=/a --target=/b --delete

/root/dirsync prepare-dir --exclude="(\.DS_Store|@eaDir|@SynoResource|@tmp|\.duplicacy|\.dropbox)" /a
/root/dirsync prepare-dir --exclude="(\.DS_Store|@eaDir|@SynoResource|@tmp|\.duplicacy|\.dropbox)" /b
/root/dirsync sync --exclude="(\.DS_Store|@eaDir|@SynoResource|@tmp|\.duplicacy|\.dropbox)" --delete --source /a --target /b

Diff visualization

cd visualize-diff
make

Then pipe the output of sync --dry-run to ./visualize-diff/visualize.js to show the diffs in an interactive UI.

For example:

/root/dirsync sync --exclude="(\.DS_Store|@eaDir|@SynoResource|@tmp|\.duplicacy|\.dropbox)" --delete --source /a --target /b --dry-run | ./visualize-diff/visualize.js
