Backup Conventions on This Device
- Staging tmp:
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp/
- Dropbox target:
/BackupsRoot/Ilex/YYMM/ (year-month subfolder)
- Naming:
<namespace>.<user>.<hostname>.<tlid-timestamp>.tar
- Utility:
tlid min generates a compact timestamp (YYMMDDhhmm)
Example: Backup a Directory
namespace=my-project
_TMP=/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp
_TAR=$_TMP/$namespace.$USER.$HOSTNAME.$(tlid min).tar
_DEST=/BackupsRoot/Ilex/$(date +%y%m)
tar -cf "$_TAR" /path/to/source
droxul upload "$_TAR" "$_DEST/"
rm -f "$_TAR"
Example: List and Download
droxul list /BackupsRoot/Ilex/2607
droxul download /BackupsRoot/Ilex/2607/some-file.tar /local/path/
Known Dropbox Structure
/BackupsRoot/Ilex/ — Device backups (YYMM subfolders)/MuSiK/ — Music/ART/ — Art assets/Mobile Uploads/ — Camera auto-uploads
Important Notes
- Max chunk size: 50MB per request (large files are chunked automatically)
- Config:
~/.dropbox_uploader (OAuth token — never expose)
- Temp dir used internally:
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp/
- Trailing
/ on remote path matters for upload (means "into this directory")
