duetbackup - CLI tool to backup your Duet SD Card [deprecated]

[Jacotheron]

On Windows, for those that struggle to 'cd' into the right directory: If you hold "Shift" while right clicking (inside the folder in Explorer), the popup menu will have an extra item: Command Prompt or Power Shell; it will for example be called "Open PowerShell window here" and when clicked will open it in the right directory.

Along with my duetbackup.exe package, I made plain .txt files with the commands I used for the backup (one for each duet), so that I can simply copy/paste (always using the same parameters):

.\duetbackup.exe -domain "duetname.local" -outDir ".\duetname" -password "duetpassword"

Command Prompt does not allow pasting, but the PowerShell does: first copy the command you want to use, then right click in the PowerShell window - it will auto paste.

Anyways, thank you @wilriker for this tool, it does what it says on the box, no issues found.

Not quite true? At least resent versions pastes if you do either of Ctrl + V, Shift + Insert or just right click in the window. Maybe you have a group policy setting that prevent it on your system?

If anyone would like to try it out. It is not yet tested, but it should work.

The code is not nice, but you can clean it up if you want. I will test it sometime today.

Which platform is this for?

[OBELIKS]

Windows, it should work on 32 bit

@obeliks I think you need to make that clear on your GitHub I would not have been happy if i had downloaded it being a OS-X user

[OBELIKS]

Added, thanks.

@dougal1957
Is there such a thing as a happy OS-X user at all? Haha just kidding, nice to have a GUI on it have to try it this evening

[OBELIKS]

Just FYI, GUI works! I finally had the time to check.
So I marked it as released.

Next plan is to implement the exclusions and maybe a bit more feedback while it is working.

[OBELIKS]

I made some changes to the GUI and added the exclude command

Small teaser of things to come

 $ ./rfm help
rfm provides a command-line interface to perform file actions
against the HTTP interface of a device running RepRapFirmware.

Usage:
        rfm <command> [arguments]

Each command will at least expect the argument -domain which
specifies where on the network the device is located. This can
either be a resolvable hostname or an IPv4 address.

The commands are:
        backup     Backup a given directory on the device
        upload     Upload local files/directories to the device
        mkdir      Create a new directory on the device
        mv         Rename/move a file/directory on the device
        rm         Remove a file/directory on the device
        download   Download a single file from the device
        fileinfo   Get information on a file
        ls         Show the file tree of a given path

Use "rfm <command> -help" for more information about a command's
arguments.

And here we go:

rfm - RepRapFirmware FileManager

duetbackup will be deprecated and discontinued in favor of this much enhanced tool.
