Backup files — rb_backup • rbackupr

Backup files

Usage

rb_backup(
  path,
  project = NULL,
  first_level_folders = NULL,
  first_level_files = TRUE,
  max_level = 100,
  recurse = TRUE,
  glob = NULL,
  create = TRUE,
  update = FALSE,
  cache = TRUE,
  base_folder = "rbackupr"
)

Arguments

path: Local path where files to backup are stored.
project: Defaults to NULL. Can be set once per session with `rb_get_project_name()`. If given, must be a character vector of length one: name of the project.
first_level_folders: Defaults to NULL. If given, clarifies which folders within the path should be uploaded, keeping the folder structure.
first_level_files: Logical, defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, first level files (files that are directly under the project folder, rather than a subfolder) are not included in the backup.
max_level: Defaults to 100. Maximum level of sub-folders to backup. Default means it will go 100 times deep into sub-folders. Used also to prevent infinite loops.
recurse: Defaults to TRUE. Recurse up to one level.
glob: Defaults to NULL. Can be used to filter type of files to upload, e.g. "*.jpg"
create: Logical, defaults to TRUE. Create folders if missing. Set to FALSE if you are sure there are no new folders to raise an error if something unexpected happens.
update: Logical, defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, checks on Google Drive for newly updated files or folders, otherwise it assumes that only files and folders listed in cache exist online.
cache: Logical, defaults to TRUE. Stores locally cached information about base and project folder.
base_folder: Name of base folder, defaults to `rbackupr`
