Show HN: BackupChecker

2 points

9 years ago

It's been some time I tell myself I should prepare this tool for sharing it, but with the Gitlab problems showing backup validation is still a problem, here it is as rough as can be: a python script I've used to validate backups (remote ssh backups, git backups)

https://github.com/rbauduin/backup_checker

It supports several kinds of validation (file size and age, number of files in directory, filename, newest file in directory age, and is easily extensible.

Config is put in a yml file, of which there is an example:

Hoping it can save some trouble for some people.
