Backuppc (backuppc.sourceforge.net) does the same thing but adds
compressed pooling to further space save.
it uses hardlink trees that point to a pool of compresses files stored
in md5 hashed directories.
very nice for space saving (I have a client that has a dozen machines
with over 6 months and ~1tb of backups smashed into a 300GB drive) but
if the hardlink trees crap out have fun restoring files like
pool/4/4/5/f86f90e131d10873dd4da826e3b4e_1
but hey that's why they have a tape drive to backup the backup server :)
anyways backuppc is super cool and it uses rsync
Hey, it just gets better! rsnapshot looked good, but with the backuppc
web interface for mgmt, it is even better.
I knew there was a reason I signed up for this mailing list :-)
Either tool easily beats my homebrew shell scripts for basic rsync
backup. It is a good day!
