About Files Cloud Backuper

I created the Files Cloud Backuper program to be able to back up all my files easily in a mail server. The point was that there are some mail accounts that allow me to store greats amounts of information and, differently from conventional storage services, for free.

I couldn't find any free (as in beer) program that allowed me to do this, so I created it myself. I decided to share it for free (as in beer and freedom) so anyone that may find it useful can use it and give me feedback about it (and also, if willing, can improve it).

I tried to make the source code extensible enough so other cloud storage services can be added (in order to back up all our important files in as many places as possible), so I hope to be able to extend the program to use many other services.

However, current version could be considered as a draft or proof of concept. There are many issues left for further working, just to name a few:

• Its error checking is very limited. I didn't have the time to do it correctly.
• It has lots of ugly code. I'm not an experienced Python programmer, so many things may be done in non optimal ways.
• Poorly tested. I did some testing, but not very thoroughly.
• Is Linux aimed. I'm a Linux used, so I developed it in and for Linux. Because it is Python, it may work in other SOs too, but I didn't test it (check previous point).

So, to sum up: Current version is provided "as is". I hope you find it useful and, if you do, please give me your feedback (please use the Discussion forum for this).
Also, check the Wiki to know how the project is composed and how it is used.

Thank you for your interest!

PS: a final piece of advice, don't upload all your files at once since some mail services may block your account (I believe, to prevent from abuses). I do have the experience (fortunately, they restored my access without further problems).
