Copies files from the local hard disk to the specified Rackspace CloudFiles bucket. Attempts to mirror local structure, to make it easy for you to use them again.
To install dependencies:
sudo gem install cloudfiles #the Rackspace cloud file library
Example of use:
nano ~/.rackspace_cloud_credentials
cd /opt/backups
ruby /path/to/that/script.rb -r -b backups .
^^ This would result in mirroring the structure of the /opts/backups/ under the bucket "backups" in your CloudFiles account.
Backup specified files to Rackspace Cloud Files.
Usage: ruby cloudfile-cp.rb [@options] file1 [file2...]
-r, --recursive Recursively follow directories.
--include-hidden Copy files/directories beginning with , too. (implies -r)
-u, --user USER specify user (default: reads in ~/.rackspace_cloud_credentials)
-c CREDENTIAL_FILE load YAML file containing "key: RACKSPACE_KEY_GOES HERE" and "bucket_name: BUCKET_NAME_GOES_HERE"
--credentials
-k, --key KEY specify Rackspace API key (default: reads in ~/.rackspace_cloud_credentials and looks for key:)
-b, --bucket BUCKET_NAME specify bucket to back file up to (default: reads YAML in ~/.rackspace_cloud_credentials and looks for bucket_name:)
-v, --verbose The output of the script gets very chatty.
-f, --force Overwrite files with the same name. (defaults to skipping them if you don't specify this flag)
-h, --help display this screen
