GoBackup

CLI tool for backup your databases, files to cloud storages in schedully.

GoBackup is a backup tool design for application servers, to backup your databases, files to cloud storages (FTP, SCP, S3, GCS, Aliyun OSS ...) in schedully.

Simple, easy to use, one time setup, run years without any maintenance, low cost (recycle), secure (encrypt compress).

Inspired by backup/backup and replace it for without Ruby dependency.

GoBackup 是一个为中小型服务器而设计备份工具，内置计划任务，帮你定时备份数据库、配置文件，通过导出、打包压缩，最终存储到外部云存储（如：FTP、SCP、S3、GCS、Aliyun OSS ...）。

简单易用，一次性部署后能持续运行数年无需任何维护，存储成本低（回收机制），安全可靠（加密压缩）。

🎈 Ruby China 的应用服务器从 GoBackup 设计之初（2017 年）开始就每日全量备份到外部的云存储，并持续数年一直默默的备份着，完全不需要维护。Aliyun OSS 上，每月成本仅为 0.2 RMB（文件回收周期为 1 个月）。

# Reload configuration
$ kill -HUP 20443
# Exit daemon
$ kill -QUIT 20443
