Local backups for the gypsum store

This repository holds scripts to periodically create local backups of the gypsum data store. To get started, clone this repository and install the dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/ArtifactDB/gypsum-backup
cd gypsum-backup
npm i

Run the sync.js backup script (tested on Node 20). This will create a new backup in the backups directory, named after the current day. All backups in backup that are older than 30 days will be removed. Users can run this at their desired frequency to generate a backup every day, or week, or month, etc.

node sync.js backups 30

In addition, we can validate the contents of each backup directory with the validate.js script. This ensures that each file was correctly downloaded.
