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-1.4.2/utils' and has a well documented
|
|
HOWTO at '/usr/doc/rsnapshot-1.4.2/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-1.4.2/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-1.4.2/contrib/crontab' with
|
|
the necessary additions to run the scripts above.
