# Backy - an application to manage backups
This app is in development, and is currently not stable. Expect core functionality to possiblly break.
## Installing
To install:
`go install git.andrewnw.xyz/CyberShell/backy@master`
This assumes you already have a working Go environment, if not please see [this page](https://golang.org/doc/install) first.
You can also download binaries [here](https://git.andrewnw.xyz/CyberShell/backy/releases) and [here](https://github.com/CybersShell/backy/releases).
## Features
- Allows easy configuration of executable commands
- Allows for commands to be run on many hosts over SSH
- Commands can be grouped in list to run in specific order
- Notifications on completion and failure
- Run in cron mode
- For any command, especially backup commands
To run a config:
`backy backup`
Or to use a specific file:
```backy backup -f /path/to/file```
If you leave the config path blank, the following paths will be searched in order:
- `./backy.yml`
- `./backy.yaml`
- `~/.config/backy.yml`
- `~/.config/backy.yaml`
Create a file at `~/.config/backy.yml`.
See the config file in the examples directory to configure it.
