./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

./backupd -db="../backup/backupdata/" -archive="./archive...
