A zc.buildout recipe to copy files from one location to another via rsync

Project description

collective.recipe.rsync is a zc.buildout recipe that copies files between two locations via the rsync program.

Installation

Add a new section to your buildout.cfg file to use the collective.recipe.rsync recipe, e.g.:

[buildout]
extends = https://raw.github.com/plock/pins/master/plone-4-3
parts += backup

[backup]
recipe = collective.recipe.rsync
source = ${buildout:directory}/var/filestorage/Data.fs
target = /var/backup

This copies a Plone Data.fs file from the source to the target.

Create a script

Normally collective.recipe.rsync will run rsync during the recipe installation. Optionally you can create a script to execute rsync later by configuring the script = true option e.g.:

[backup]
recipe = collective.recipe.rsync
source = ${buildout:directory}/var/filestorage/Data.fs
target = /var/backup
script = true

This is useful in cases where you want to automate an rsync script with cron e.g. via z3c.recipe.usercrontab.

Configure options

The default options are -av --partial --progress. Use the options parameter to change them e.g.:

[backup]
recipe = collective.recipe.rsync
source = ${buildout:directory}/var/filestorage/Data.fs
target = /var/backup
# Omit "-v" option
options = -a --partial --progress

Exclude files

You can exclude files with the exclude option e.g.:

[backup]
recipe = collective.recipe.rsync
source = ${buildout:directory}/var/filestorage/Data.fs
target = /var/backup
exclude = Data.fs.index Data.fs.old

Specify alternate SSH port

Optionally you may specify an alternate SSH port for rsync to use e.g.:

[backup]
recipe = collective.recipe.rsync
source = ${buildout:directory}/var/filestorage/Data.fs
target = /var/backup
port = 2222
