Intro

This crate takes an incremental backup from a directory while encrypting its entire content, including filenames. It supports AES256 and Chacha20 ciphers and uses the OpenSSL library via openssl crate.

Usage

The OpenSSL library must be already installed on the host OS:

# On Debian
$ sudo apt install libssl-dev
[dependencies]
secure_backup = "0.1"
  use std::{env, path::Path};

  use secure_backup::{
    backup::take_backup,
    restore::restore_backup,
    common::Cipher
  };

  let current_dir = env::current_dir().unwrap();
  let password = "password";
  let salt = "salt";
  let ignore_list = vec!["*.ignore"];

  let source_dir = current_dir.join(Path::new("path_to_the_src_dir")).to_path_buf();
  let backup_dir = env::temp_dir().join("path_to_the_backup_dir").to_path_buf();

  // Take a backup
  take_backup(&source_dir, &backup_dir, Cipher::AES256, password, salt, &ignore_list);  

  // Restore the backup
  let restore_dir = env::temp_dir().join("path_to_the_restore_dir").to_path_buf();
  restore_backup(Cipher::AES256, &backup_dir, &restore_dir, password, salt);
