========================================
obsync -- The object synchronizer tool
========================================
.. program:: obsync
Synopsis
========
| **obsync** [ *options* ] *source-url* *destination-url*
Description
===========
**obsync** is an object syncrhonizer tool designed to transfer objects
between different object storage systems. Similar to rsync, you
specify a source and a destination, and it will transfer objects
between them until the destination has all the objects in the
source. Obsync will never modify the source -- only the destination.
By default, obsync does not delete anything. However, by specifying
``--delete-after`` or ``--delete-before``, you can ask it to delete
objects from the destination that are not in the source.
Target types
============
Obsync supports S3 via ``libboto``. To use the s3 target, your URL
should look like this: ``s3://host-name/bucket-name``
Obsync supports storing files locally via the ``file://`` target. To
use the file target, your URL should look like this:
``file://directory-name``
Alternately, give no prefix, like this: ``./directory-name``
Obsync supports storing files in a RADOS Gateway backend via the
``librados`` Python bindings. To use the ``rgw` target, your URL
should look like this: ``rgw:ceph-configuration-path:rgw-bucket-name``
Options
=======
.. option:: -h, --help
Display a help message
.. option:: -n, --dry-run
Show what would be done, but do not modify the destination.
.. option:: -c, --create-dest
Create the destination if it does not exist.
.. option:: --delete-before
Before copying any files, delete objects in the destination that
are not in the source.
.. option:: -L, --follow-symlinks
Follow symlinks when dealing with ``file://`` targets.
.. option:: --no-preserve-acls
Don't preserve ACLs when copying objects.
.. option:: -v, --verbose
Be verbose.
.. option:: -V, --more-verbose
Be really, really verbose (developer mode)
.. option:: -x SRC=DST, --xuser SRC=DST
Set up a user translation. You can specify multiple user
translations with multiple ``--xuser`` arguments.
.. option:: --force
Overwrite all destination objects, even if they appear to be the
same as the source objects.
Environment variables
=====================
.. envvar:: SRC_AKEY
Access key for the source URL
.. envvar:: SRC_SKEY
Secret access key for the source URL
.. envvar:: DST_AKEY
Access key for the destination URL
.. envvar:: DST_SKEY
Secret access key for the destination URL
.. envvar:: AKEY
Access key for both source and dest
.. envvar:: SKEY
Secret access key for both source and dest
.. envvar:: DST_CONSISTENCY
Set to 'eventual' if the destination is eventually consistent. If the destination
is eventually consistent, we may have to retry certain operations multiple times.
Examples
========
::
AKEY=... SKEY=... obsync -c -d -v ./backup-directory s3://myhost1/mybucket1
Copy objects from backup-directory to mybucket1 on myhost1::
SRC_AKEY=... SRC_SKEY=... DST_AKEY=... DST_SKEY=... obsync -c -d -v s3://myhost1/mybucket1 s3://myhost1/mybucket2
Copy objects from mybucket1 to mybucket2
