Hi,
we are using backuppc with rsync to backup a load of data each night.
Unfortunately this takes way to long, even incremental backups. It seems
backuppc doesnt make much use of the remote update protocol of rsync which
compares checksums of fileslices against a local copy to reduce traffic.
Running an manual rsync targeting on to a previous backup is much faster. I am
talking about hours. Next idea was to disable compression and add
--copy-dest=/tmp/somedir to the rsync-command in the <host>.pl.
/tmp/somedir should contain the last full or filled incremental backup. As the
raw backups have mangled filenames i need some kind of restore into that
/tmp/somedir Directory but with hardlinks to the pool.
Is there way to get a local restore with Hardlinks with the BackupPC-tools?
Is there some other magic done to the files in a backupdir?
Has somebody already done this or similiar modifications to get rsync more
effective?
Is there a better/easier way to solve this?
We like rsync and we dont want to make a single backupsolution to one Server.
Thats why the effort.
Regards
Thilo
