SFTP support? #15

Closed ahknight closed 10 years ago

Can this be updated to include SFTP support? Honestly, it could just be updated to restore from a local copy of the backup and I could mount the SFTP disk with FUSE or something to simplify the code here. That might make this better going forward than relying on S3 integration.

I second that! SFTP Support was the reason overall for purchasing Arq4. I'm disappointed that there is no update for the open-source tool.

arq_restore has been updated to include SFTP support.

Could you please explain how to use SFTP with the script? Running it without arguments doesn't provide any info on how to add an SFTP target and I can't find any SFTP references in the code either.

arq_restore doesn't work with SFTP anymore. You can restore from both AWS and local backup sets with it. It's meant as a proof of concept and documentation to address people's concerns about being able to access their backups if the Arq app is "no longer available" (although you have a copy of the Arq app and it functions without any dependency on arqbackup.com being available).
