Contents of README: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. |
