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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rnapshot requires both the editing of the /etc/rsnapshot.conf file and
|
||
|
|
the creation of various scripts to run at the intervals specified in the
|
||
|
|
config file. rsnapshot comes with a multitude of example scripts located
|
||
|
|
in '/usr/doc/rsnapshot-1.3.0/utils' and has a well documented HOWTO at
|
||
|
|
'/usr/doc/rsnapshot-1.3.0/rsnapshot-HOWTO.en.html'
|
||
|
|
It is highly recommended for you to read this HOWTO prior to altering your
|
||
|
|
configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To get you up and running as quick as possible, I have provided a working
|
||
|
|
config file and scripts located in '/usr/doc/rsnapshot-1.3.0/contrib'
|
||
|
|
This configuration will create incremental backups every 4 hours and will
|
||
|
|
store 6 hourly, 7 daily, 4 weekly, and 3 monthly backups at a time.
|
||
|
|
All backups will be stored in the path '/backup' which you will most
|
||
|
|
likely want to change to fit your setup. It is highly recommended that
|
||
|
|
the backup location be a separate physical disk or remote location.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rsnapshot is executed by adding entries into root's crontab.
|
||
|
|
There is an example crontab in '/usr/doc/rsnapshot-1.3.0/contrib/crontab'
|
||
|
|
with the necessary additions to run the scripts above.
