Backuper is a python script that uploads the given file to the configured dropbox account. It can be used for simple backup procedure, triggered by schedule or some event.

Version: 0.0.1, TODO: add directory upload support.

Both scripts has "-h" argument to see the arguments list, so try "python backup.py -h" for help;

Scripts expect two configuration files:

• --logger - a path to logging configuration, if not passed default will be used
• --config - a path to application API credentials

Use install.conf.template as a template for your credentials config, fill it with you Dropbox application credentials and then pass the path to this file as the --config parameter.

To run scripts you will need a Dropbox Python SDK, it can be found on the Dropbox developers site .

Unzip the archive and run python setup.py install to install the sdk.

Also, Python >= 2.7 us required.

Before you can run backup.py script, you need an access token of the target dropbox account.

To obtain the access token, you need to run install.py script first. --session argument can override a file path for saving access token data. The same --session path that you used for installation must be used with backup.py

After installation is done, you can run python backup.py /path/to/your/file.zip to upload the file to the Dropbox. If token is lost or expired you need to repeat installation procedure.
