Description: # monsoon-backup-files
        
        [![Build Status](https://travis.ibm.com/apset/monsoon-backup-files.svg?token=sEYcW68KU3tGRyi3z1eH&branch=master)](https://travis.ibm.com/apset/monsoon-backup-files)
        
        Add support for file backups on [`monsoon`](https://github.ibm.com/apset/monsoon).
        
        ## Requirements
        This plug-in is build on top of [`tar`](https://linux.die.net/man/1/tar).
        
        ## Installing
        You can use `pip` to install this plug-in from Artifactory.
        
        First you will need to configure your pip client by creating or editing the
        `~/.pip/pip.conf` file to look like the example below.
        
        **Note:** Remember to change `@` into `%40` in your username!
        
        ```
        [global]
        index-url = https://pypi.python.org/simple
        extra-index-url = https://<USERNAME>:<API KEY>@na.artifactory.swg-devops.com/artifactory/api/pypi/apset-pypi-local/simple
        ```
        
        After that you should be able to run
        ```sh
        $ pip install monsoon-backup-files
        ```
        
        Alternatively, you can install it directly from GHE:
        ```sh
        $ pip install git+ssh://git@github.ibm.com/apset/monsoon-backup-files
        ```
        
        ## Using
        After installing the plug-in you will be able to use the `backup files` command
        on `monsoon`.
        
        ```sh
        $ monsoon backup files -h
        usage: monsoon backup files [-h] -f FILE
        
        Back up one or more files. It uses `tar -cz` which gzips the output. You can
        use any of the arguments supported by `tar`. Add a list of files and
        directories you want backed up as the last thing in the line. Use `tar --help`
        for more information.
        
        optional arguments:
          -h, --help            show this help message and exit
          -o FILE, --output FILE  output gzipped file path
        ```
        
        You can pass any option that you would normally use on `mysqldump`:
        
        ```sh
        $ monsoon backup files -o foo.tgz --verbose /tmp /var/log
        ```
        
        As shown in the `--help` message, there is one required arguments you
        must use in your backup process.
        
        `-o FILE` or `--output FILE` will save the output of `tar` into a
        file.
        
        **Important:** There is a conflict with the `-h` argument since it is reserved
        for the help/usage message. Use `--dereference` to follow symlinks.
        
        ## Building and Publishing
        
        Travis will publish builds for you. To build, push a tag to the repo:
        
        ```
        git tag -a v0.1.2 -m 'v0.1.2'
        git push --tags
        ```
