Compress, encrypt (symmetric encryption) and upload files directly to Amazon S3 in a single command. Can also be used as a python module.

While navigating directories, I was tired of saying myself I should backup these #?!!* small files/directories. Since I didn't found any solution that allows me to perform quickly encrypted backup on Amazon S3 from command-line, I wrote bakthat !

Here are some features:

• Hold everything in StringIO Objects
• Compress with tarfile
• Encrypt with beefish
• Upload/download to S3 with boto

You can restore backups with or without bakthat, you just have to download the backup, decrypt it with Beefish command-line tool and untar it.

$ cd /dir/i/want/to/bak
$ bakthat backup
INFO: Backing up /dir/i/want/to/bak
Password:
$

$ bakthat restore -f bak
INFO: Restoring gene20120928.tgz.enc
Password: 
$

$ bakthat ls
INFO: S3 Bucket: bakthattest
INFO: bak20120928.tgz.enc

• Aaargh
• Pycrypto
• Beefish
• Boto

$ pip install bakthat

You need to set your AWS credentials:

$ bakthat configure

Basic usage, "bakthat -h" or "bakthat <command> -h" to show the help.

$ cd /dir/i/want/to/bak
$ bakthat backup
or
$ bakthat backup -f /dir/i/want/to/bak

you can also backup a single file
$ bakthat backup -f /home/thomas/mysuperfile.txt

You can restore the latest version of a backup just by specifying the begining of the filename.

$ mo2s3 restore --f bak

if you want to restore an older version
$ mo2s3 restore --f bak20120927
or
$ mo2s3 restore --f bak20120927.tgz.enc

$ bakthat ls

import bakthat
aws_conf = {"access_key":"", "secret_key":"", "bucket": ""}

bakthat.backup("/dir/i/wanto/bak", conf=aws_conf)

# or if you want to have generated the configuration file with "bakthat configure"
# and want to use this file:
bakthat.backup("/dir/i/wanto/bak")

# you can optionally pass a custom logger
bakthat.backup("/dir/i/wanto/bak", logger=my_logger_instance, conf=aws_conf)

# restore in the current working directory
bakthat.restore("bak", logger=my_logger_instance, conf=aws_conf)
