• Full Backup

  backup empyre

  Copies from source to staging, then staging to backup device. The default mode when no flags are specified.

• Stage-only

  backup empyre --stage-only

  Only copies source projects to the staging directory. Skips the backup device sync.

• Thumb-only

  backup empyre --thumb-only

  Only syncs staging to the backup device. Useful when staging already exists from a previous stage-only run.

• Database Backup

  backup database

  Syncs PostgreSQL dumps from /srv/backups/database directly to the backup device. Also accepts 'minotaur' as an alias.
