NAME
gpodder-backup – Backup and restore utility for gPodder user data
SYNOPSIS
gpodder-backup [–create|–extract] <archive.gpo.tar.gz> [options] gpodder-backup –purge
DESCRIPTION
This utility can be used to create a dump of the current gPodder data (configuration files + downloads), optionally skipping the real contents of the download folder (for submitting your data to a bug report without having to transfer lots of data).
OPTIONS
–version- show program’s version number and exit
-h,–help- show this help message and exit
-c<FILE>,–create=<FILE>- Create a new archive
-x<FILE>,–extract=<FILE>- Extract an existing archive
-f,–fake-downloads- Do not store contents of downloaded files
-n,–no-covers- Do not include cover files in archive
-D<DIR>,–destination=<DIR>- Extract downloads in different folder
-P,–purge- Remove current data (can be combined with –extract)
USAGE FOR BUG REPORTING
- This command is useful if you want to report a bug in gPodder:
gpodder-backup –create bug123.gpo.tar.gz –fake-downloads- Backup your current data to file bug123.gpo.tar.gz, but don’t store download data (create zero-size dummy files instead). You can then attach bug123.gpo.tar.gz to the bug report.
- If you are instructed to try gPodder from a "clean state", you can use the following command (be sure to backup your data before!):
gpodder-backup –purge- Remove all gPodder data, so you can start from a clean state
EXAMPLES
gpodder-backup –create today.gpo.tar.gz- Backup your current data to file today.gpo.tar.gz
gpodder-backup –extract mybackup.gpo.tar.gz- Restore (without purging) the contents of mybackup.gpo.tar.gz
gpodder-backup –extract default.gpo.tar.gz –purge- Remove current data, then restore the contents of default.gpo.tar.gz
gpodder-backup –purge- Remove all gPodder data, so you can start from a clean state
