# Backblaze Backup Tool This is a tool to backup files and directories to Backblaze. ## Prerequisites - Go 1.16 or higher - Backblaze account with a bucket created - Environment variables `BB_ID` and `BB_KEY` set with your Backblaze account ID and application key respectively ## Building the Application You can build the application using the provided Makefile. ### On Linux: ```bash make rebuild ``` ### On Windows: You will need to have make installed. If you don't have it, you can install it through Chocolatey: ```bash choco install make ``` Then you can run the same command as on Linux: ```bash make rebuild ``` This will create a binary in the bin directory. ## Running the Application You can run the application directly from the command line. Here's how to do it: ```bash ./bin/backblaze-backup --bucket "your-bucket-name" --dir "/path/to/directory" ``` Or if you want to upload a single file: ```bash ./bin/backblaze-backup --bucket "your-bucket-name" --file "/path/to/file" ``` You can also use the **`local_run`** command in the Makefile to run the application with a test directory and bucket: ```bash make local_run DIR="/home/user/test-upload" BUCKET="my-test-bucket" ``` This will run the application with the directory **/home/user/test-upload** and the bucket **my-test-bucket**. ## Flags --bucket: The name of your Backblaze bucket --dir: The absolute path of the directory you want to upload to Backblaze --file: The absolute path of the file you want to upload to Backblaze Note: You must select just one option, dir or file. Please replace `"your-bucket-name"`, `"/path/to/directory"`, and `"/path/to/file"` with your actual bucket name and paths.
