Odrive CLI backup

Is any documentation available for the CLI backup command?

How can I tell progress? Or that it’s working at all?

Hi @aodocs-storage,
Here are a couple of relvant posts on the CLI backup feature:

Backup (one-way sync)

Hi @ciro.pappada, Thanks for sharing. The backup feature you see in the CLI a very, early-stage preview of backup. It kind of snuck into the CLI way back when we first released the odrive Agent. We didn’t remove it because there isn’t really any chance of “misusing” it and the fact that it is in the CLI lends itself to only being seen/used by more advanced users. Backup is a much simpler data flow, compared to sync, since all of the data flows in a single direction and there are no deletes/mov…

Backup Sync Not Backing Up

Hi @mattzab, The backup feature is pretty raw, as its a pre-beta version of backup that managed to slip out into the odrive Agent. It works, and there are folks out there using it, but it may have some quirks. There is a backup log you can view. Maybe it can give us some additional details. If you installed the odrive agent via the instructions in our documentation, the log is in ~/.odrive-agent/log/backup.log. Can you take a look there and see what it says?

As said above, its an early beta of backup functionality, so its pretty bare-bones. There is a log for backup in ~/.odrive-agent/log/backup.log and the status CLI command will give some basic overview info, like if the backup is running.

On Windows, where is the backup.log? The one stored in c:\Users<username>.odrive\log is size zero.

How can I tell what those 2 backup jobs are, and can I stop/cancel them?

Hi @a_user_of_this_tool,
You can get the backup info with the status --backup command. You can remove backups using the removebackup command.
