Rsync-based "Time Machine"-like backup, using hard links.
You have to configure a server with rsyncd daemon, then copy sample.rsync_machine
directory to .rsync_machine
on the client (backup source host) and configure these files:
backup.cfg
where you set the root directory to backup and set connection parameters; if your host is headless you should setZENITY
variable tofalse
.excludes
where you set backup exclusion patterns.pwd
: this file contains the password to connect to rsyncd service.
In the same directory you'll find a log
file with execution logs.
If ZENITY
variable is set to true
some nice dialog will inform you on what is going on.
