BandcampFS is a proof of concept that allows people to backup files to bandcamp

Blog post on usage: https://medium.com/@__Tux/using-bandcamp-as-a-backup-solution-3b6549d24579

Usage

Encoding

Encoding a file to upload to bandcamp is simple:

./bandcampfs.py -e my_favorite_picture.jpg

When it's done, you'll see:

Data encoded to: my_favorite_picture.jpg.wav!

Take the file generated here and upload it to a Bandcamp album.

Decoding

Decoding is done the same way:

./bandcampfs.py -d my_favorite_picture.jpg.wav

When it's done, you'll see:

Data decoded to: my_favorite_picture.jpg!

That's it!

How does this work?

BandcampFS simply converts any file into a WAV file. Go ahead and give your resume a listen.

Best practices?

If you're going to do this, you should probably put all relevant files into one directory then tar gz them. Following that, you'll probably want to encrypt it. I would use gpg to do this. Then use BandcampFS to convert it to a WAV file and upload it.
