rbackup - An rsync-based backup tool
|
|
====================================
|
|
A tool that automates the use of rsync and extra features for package manager backups.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
* Snapshot-based backup management
|
|
* Backups of deleted and modified files
|
|
* Creation of installed package lists and backup of package manager databases
|
|
|
|
Advanced Features
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
* rbackup depends on the filesystem that stores the repository to provide features such as checksumming, advanced deduplication, and data integrity verification
|
|
|
|
Target Directories
|
|
------------------
|
|
* /boot
|
|
* /etc
|
|
* /home
|
|
* /root
|
|
* /var
|
|
* /var/lib
|
|
* /var/log
|
|
* Extras
|
|
* Installed packages
|
|
* Package manager databases
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
Implementation Notes

|
|
* os.path is used for path handling
|
|
* Use --link-dest=
|
|
* Use --suffix=, --backup, and --backup-dir=
|
|
|
|
