Let's see whether our two programs play nicely together. You may want to open two terminal windows for this, since we'll be running two programs.
We have already added some paths to the database, so let's use backup to see them:
./backup -db="./backupdata" list
You should see the two test folders; if you don't, refer to the Adding paths section:
= ./test [Not yet archived] = ./test2 [Not yet archived]
In another window, navigate to the backupd folder and create our two test folders, called test and test2.
Build backupd using the usual method:
go build -o backupd
Assuming all is well, we can now start the backup process, being sure to point the db path to the same path as we used for the backup program and specifying that we want to use a new folder called archive to store the ZIP files. For testing purposes, let's specify an interval of 5 seconds in order to save time:
./backupd -db="../backup/backupdata/" -archive="./archive" - interval=5s
Immediately, backupd should...
