Hi, This is a python project. I need to setup a python automation on my "LINUX machine A" that will scan and backup (make a copy) of ALL the files from folder X (pictures,pdf,docs,etc) from "LINUX machine B" daily, after day 1 the backup MUST ONLY update the differences of the files. It must run every day and backup the extra files that will be present on the server as differences. In order to login form one server to another you must use in the config the .ssh key. We need to use: "LINUX machine A" "LINUX machine B" .ssh key. python If possible, the python backup should work to do the backup on a LINUX MACHINE but also to do the backup using ONE service from these backup services FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SCP, Samba/CIFS, BorgBackup, Restic, Rclone. !IMPORTANT! I do not need and I do not want to backup the whole server over and over again because it will slow down the server. It must backup only the files differences. This should run daily at the middle of the night AT 12:30 AM. Looking forward to work with someone with experience in python. Happy Bidding!

Hello there, I am a Python developer with experience in automating tasks and working with Linux systems. I can help you set up a Python automation script for your backup needs. Here's a high-level overview of how we can approach this project: Solution Overview: We will use Python to create a script that runs on "LINUX machine A" and connects to "LINUX machine B" to perform the backup task. The script will utilize the .ssh key for secure authentication between the two machines. To achieve incremental backups (backup only differences), we can use a combination of tools like rsync or rclone. These tools are efficient in syncing only the changes between files. We can schedule the Python script to run daily at 12:30 AM using a scheduler like cron. Optional Backup Services: We can integrate one of the following services based on your preference: FTP FTPS SFTP SCP Samba/CIFS BorgBackup Restic Rclone Please provide more details about the specific service you want to integrate for the backup. If you're interested in proceeding with this solution, please let me know your preferences for the backup service and any specific requirements you have. I'll be happy to work with you to implement this solution effectively. Looking forward to working with you! Regards, AK

Hi there! I'm a full-stack developer with over five years of experience in web development. I specialize in building dynamic web applications using a variety of technologies such as Linux system administration, Python code optimization and malware removal. I understand that you need to setup a python automation on your "LINUX machine A" that will scan and backup (make a copy) of ALL the files from folder X (pictures,pdf,docs,etc) from "LINUX machine B" daily after day 1 the backup MUST ONLY update the differences of the files. It must run every day at 12:30am to ensure the files are always up to date. This must run after day 1 so that the backup is not done over multiple days but only once on the first day after which it will only be updated with any new changes which would have happened on the server after that day. I understand this project requires precision timing so I would be able to work around any issues that may arise while still meeting all requirements set out by you exactly at the middle of the night at 12:30am every day without fail. Sincerely, Tanvir
