So I'm trying to write a script (for cron) that will call bakthat. so the obvious issue that I am having is having to input the password. IS there a way to save the password to a config file somehow?

Thanks

Oh I tested bakthat out on a few files and it works great ... I'm waiting to use it on my office's backups.

Hi,

From the docs:

Since version 0.5.2, you can set the password with BAKTHAT_PASSWORD environment variable.

$ BAKTHAT_PASSWORD=mypassword bakthat backup myfile

You should also check out bakserver, I will release it soon.

Also, let me know if you have any other issue/feedback.

Thanks!

It's really weird, because it works well on my servers. Are you running bakthat 0.5.4 ? Which OS are you using ?

Also, have you tried this:

$ export BAKTHAT_PASSWORD=yourpassword
$ bakthat backup yourfile

Is there a flag if we don't want a password?
