Backup Directory Hierarchy
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
* basedir
|
|
|
|
|
| - data *directory containing all snapshots*
|
|
|
|
|
| | - snapshot1 *first snapshot*
|
|
|
|
|
| | - boot
|
|
|
|
|
| | - home
|
|
|
|
|
| | - etc
|
|
|
|
|
| | - snapshot2
|
|
|
|
|
| | - boot
|
|
|
|
|
| | - home
|
|
|
|
|
| | - etc
|
|
|
|
|
| - prev *link to previous snapshot*
|
|
|
|
|
* Assuming snapshot2 was the previous backup and snapshot1 was the backup before that:
|
|
|
|
|
* prev would link to snapshot2
|
|
|
|
|
* Unchanged files files from snapshot1 backed up to snapshot2 are hardlinked to snapshot1
