Backup-to-Drive

🛠️ Setup

1. Start by creating a service account for your Google Cloud project.

2. Create a .env file in the same folder as this README, and paste in the following contents:

   DRIVE_BACKUP_FOLDER_ID='<folder ID>'

   where <folder ID> is replaced with the ID of the Google Drive folder you want to upload to. (Alternatively, this ID can be provided using the -i option described below.)

3. Install uv

4. Install dev dependencies:

   uv sync --group dev

5. To be able to run commands in the Makefile:

   • If using Windows:
     • Ensure that you have a program installed that can run makefiles. This can be done by e.g. installing GnuWin's Make using WinGet:

       winget install GnuWin32.Make

   • If using Linux/macOS: You don't need to do anything.

🚀 Usage

Run the following command to upload <filename> to the previously specified folder:

uv run backup_to_drive.py <filename>

If using a Unix-based operating system (like Linux or macOS), the command can also be run like:

./backup_to_drive.py <filename>

Options:

• -i, --folder-id <Google Drive folder ID> - defaults to DRIVE_BACKUP_FOLDER_ID
• -p, --no-prefix - prevents prefixing a timestamped string to the uploaded file's name

🧹 Linting

Run:

make lint
