Hold My Backup

It is a backup tool that creates backups and stores them on an object storage. By default it uses minio but you can use AWS: S3 as well.

Purpose

It is actually a pet project for understanding core concepts of cloud native applications. I don't have any practicle use case for this app, but one can use this for manage their backups I guess. PR's are welcomed.

Showcase

Here's how it looks:

• Create Backup:

• Changing log level

Note that you can use something like this as well: '{"filter": "trace,reload_config=trace,hyper=info,mio=info,serde_xml_rs=info"}' because what we actually modify is the EnvFilter.

My favourite filter

'{"filter":"trace,reload_config=trace,hyper=error,mio=error,h2=error,tonic=error,serde_xml_rs=error"}'

• Listing available backups

• Auto reload config file
