tarsnap

Manipulate remote Tarsnap encrypted backups. Note: you don’t need to specify the key file and the cache directory if you configure them in /usr/local/etc/tarsnap.conf or ~/.tarsnaprc. See also: tarsnap-keygen. More information: https://www.tarsnap.com/man-tarsnap.1.html.

• create a backup archive of one or more files or directories, specifying the cryptographic key and the cache directory:

tarsnap -c --keyfile path/to/key_file --cachedir path/to/cache_directory -f archive_name path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...

• Display how much data would be uploaded:

tarsnap -c --dry-run --print-stats --keyfile path/to/key_file --cachedir path/to/cache_directory -f archive_name path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...

• List stored archives:

tarsnap --list-archives --keyfile path/to/key_file

• delete a specific archive:

tarsnap -d --keyfile path/to/key_file --cachedir path/to/cache_directory -f archive_name

• List the contents of a specific archive in verbose mode:

tarsnap -tv --keyfile path/to/key_file -f archive_name

• Restore one or more files or directories from a specific archive:

tarsnap -x --keyfile path/to/key_file -f archive_name path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...

• Copy an archive:

tarsnap -c --keyfile path/to/key_file -f new_archive_name @@source_archive_name
