Remove .template from the py-sync.conf.template config file and update per your local and backup path on the same machine or per your backup path on a remote system.
#THIS SCRIPT MUST BE RUN ON THE LOCAL MACHINE
[input_paths] #separate by comma, no space. trailing slash only copies content and not directory level
input_paths = /Users/PATH,/Users/PATH
[output_path] #directory must already exist
output_path = user@PATH.local:/PATH
[backup_path]
backup_path = user@PATH.local:/PATH/deleted
[exclude_paths] #requires disable_relative_path enabled. separate by comma, no space. use full path name.
exclude_paths =
[arguments] #1 enabled, 0 disabled
delete_from_dest = 1
use_relative_path = 1
backup_deleted_dest = 1
#arguments explained (if enabled):
#delete_from_dest -- if files are deleted at source, also delete at destination
#use_relative_path -- full source path names are copied to destination
#backup_deleted_dest -- if a file is deleted at destination, copy to this folder on destination
Ensure your py-syn.conf file has been updated and run the script:
python3 py-sync.py
