13 | Description: Yet another `rsync --link-dest' backup script. | |
14 | It uses rsync's ability to create hardlinks from (apparently) similar | |
15 | existing local trees to make incre- mental dumps efficient, even from remote | |
16 | sources. Restoring files is easy because the backups created are just | |
17 | directories full of files, exactly as they were on the source - and this is | |
18 | verified using the fshash(1) program (included). | |
19 | . | |
20 | The script does more than just running rsync. It is also responsible for | |
21 | creating and removing snapshots of volumes to be backed up, and expiring old | |
22 | dumps according to a user-specified retention policy. |
