Backup::Backblaze

Plugin for the Backup gem to use Backblaze as storage. Used in production every day.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'backup-backblaze'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install backup-backblaze

Add a storage block something like this to your usual Backup DSL file:

# BackBlaze must be a string here, not a class name. Because it's defined external to Backup gem.
store_with 'BackBlaze' do |server|
  # from backblaze ui
  server.account_id = 'deadbeefdead'
  server.app_key    = 'c27111357f682232c9943f6e63e98f916722c975e4'

  # bucket name must be globally unique (yes, really).
  # create buckets on the backblaze website. app_key must have access.
  server.bucket     = 'your_globally_unique_bucket_name'

  # path defaults to '/'
  server.path       = '/whatever/you_like'
  server.keep       = 3

  # minimum is 5mb, default is 100mb. Leave at default unless you have a good reason.
  # server.part_size = 5000000
end

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

If you need to change the http api retry sequences, you'll need to install SWI-Prolog from http://www.swi-prolog.org/Download.html
