Cross device backup manager, which manages backups on several storages mounted on multiple devices with a single repository.

Install

• git is required for sync

Usage

1. xdbm init to setup new device(i.e. PC).
2. xdbm storage add to add storages, or xdbm storage bind to make existing storages available on new device.
3. xdbm backup add to add new backup configuration.
4. xdbm backup done to tell xdbm to write backup execution datetime.
5. xdbm storage list and xdbm backup list to see their status.

• xdbm path to see the path of repository. Use git to sync it among the devices.
