Discord Backup Util

A tool that backs up whatever you need to Discord.

Setup

  • Install

$ cargo install discord-backup-util

  • Create backup_config:

$ discord-backup-util --setup

  • Adapt

$ your-favorite-editor backup_config

  • Launch

$ discord-backup-util

Things to do after

  • Setup a cron job/systemd service to start discord-backup-util on boot.
  • Password-protect the artifacts (they are being uploaded to Discord of all places after all).
  • Rethink your life choices of why are you backing up your infrastructure to Discord.
  • Blame Discord for making upload limit x2.5 times less.

Building for 32-bit platforms

We support building discord-backup-util down to i586, although build might fail due to some C packages failing to compile.

If build fails due to dependencies, add --no-default-features --features minreq to command line (This may take longer to compile as for minreq we use bundled OpenSSL instead of RusTLS) (Not all targets can be fixed this way).

Windows

We never needed to use this on Windows, so we don't guarantee that any Windows build will even launch.

Features policy

If a feature is not too insane, feel free to submit a feature request. If you can actually work on a feautre, fork this repo and then submit a PR, although it'd be nice to open a FR first to see if your work is going to be accepted into the project.

Contributing

Submit all PRs to master branch. PRs to stable will not be accepted.
