Backup Automation

Part of the Deploy Kit by CodeVault

Automated backup tool for files and directories with rotation policies, integrity verification, and scheduling configuration. Never lose data because you forgot to set up backups.

Features

Full and incremental backups: Archive directories to timestamped tar.gz files
Rotation policies: Keep last N backups, or delete backups older than N days
Integrity verification: SHA-256 checksums for every backup file
Restore from backup: Extract any backup to a target directory
Manifest tracking: JSON manifest of all backups with metadata
Dry run mode: Preview what would be backed up without creating files
Size reporting: Track backup sizes over time
Multiple backup sources in a single config
Python stdlib only — zero dependencies

Quick Start


# Run a backup using the example config
python src/backup_tool.py backup --config examples/backup_config.json

# Dry run — preview what would be backed up
python src/backup_tool.py backup --config examples/backup_config.json --dry-run

# List all existing backups
python src/backup_tool.py list --config examples/backup_config.json

# Verify backup integrity (check checksums)
python src/backup_tool.py verify --config examples/backup_config.json

# Restore from a specific backup
python src/backup_tool.py restore --config examples/backup_config.json --backup-id 20260314-100000 --target ./restored/

# Apply rotation policy (delete old backups)

src/backup_tool.py #!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Backup Automation — Deploy Kit by DataNest Automated backup tool for files and directories with rotation policies, integrity verification, manifest tracking, and restore capabilities. Why this exists: Backups are one of those things everyone knows they should do but nobody gets around to automating properly. This tool creates timestamped tar.gz archives, verifies them with SHA-256 checksums, tracks everything in a JSON manifest, and rotates old backups automatically. One config file, one command. Usage: python backup_tool.py backup --config backup_config.json python backup_tool.py backup --config backup_config.json --dry-run python backup_tool.py list --config backup_config.json python backup_tool.py verify --config backup_config.json python backup_tool.py restore --config backup_config.json --backup-id 20260314-100000 --target ./restored/ python backup_tool.py rotate --config backup_config.json License: MIT """ from __future__ import annotations import argparse import fnmatch import hashlib import json import logging import os import shutil import sys import tarfile import time from dataclasses import dataclass, field from datetime import datetime, timezone from pathlib import Path from typing import Any # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Constants # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOG = logging.getLogger("backup-tool") MANIFEST_FILENAME = "backup_manifest.json" TIMESTAMP_FORMAT = "%Y%m%d-%H%M%S" # ... 755 more lines ...
