rsnapshot Description

rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility. rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility for making backups of local and remote systems.Using rsync and hard links, it is possible to keep multiple, full backups instantly available. The disk space required is just a little more than the space of one full backup, plus incrementals.Depending on your configuration, it is quite possible to set up in just a few minutes. Files can be restored by the users who own them, without the root user getting involved.There are no tapes to change, so once it's set up, you may never need to think about it again.rsnapshot is written entirely in Perl. It should work on any reasonably modern UNIX compatible OS, including: Debian, Redhat, Fedora, SuSE, Gentoo, Slackware, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X, and even IRIX.rsnapshot was originally based on an article called Easy Automated Snapshot-Style Backups with Linux and Rsync, by Mike Rubel What's New in This Release: · Fix help message mixup in lines between -c and -t. · Add more specific error messages for not currently implemented potential per backup point options, like cmd_preexec. · Allow named pipe as logfile · suggested by Patrice Levesque. · Include rsnapshot-copy script written by Matt McCutchen. · Allow `backticks` in include_conf. · Apply fix-sync_first-rollback.diff patch from Matt McCutchen (02 Apr 2008). · hopefully fix bug with link_dest not being used on second and later backups when you have link_dest 1 and sync_first 1. (Ignore $sync_dir_was_present) · Patch from Adam Greenbaum to allow passing of ssh arguments correctly. · David Grant added rsync_numtries to rsnapshot.conf. · Applied Ben Low's Linux LVM patch. · Added stop_on_stale_lockfile, thanks to Henning Moll. · Michael Ashley's fix for filter/space problems on the rsync command line. · Remove trailing whitespace from command names in rsnapshot.conf. · Warn about extra spaces between tab and argument. · Added multi-line config options, thanks to Dieter Bloms. · The 'interval' config option is now called 'retain'. · chdir to avoid an obscure bug in some versions of GNU rm. · Changed use_lazy_deletes option to use _delete.$$ directories. · Added note about -H and hard links to docs for rsync_short_args. · Include rsnapshot-diff.1 in rpm. · Fix bug with rsnapshot sync the first time (when .sync does not exist) trying to copy hourly.0 to .sync, even if hourly.0 doesn't exist. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=413439
