This looks great, doesn't seem to need anything other than rsync installed. You should also check out rsnapshot: http://www.rsnapshot.org/ http://www.rsnapshot

You should also check out rsnapshot: http://www.rsnapshot.org/ http://www.rsnapshot.org/, it does a great job and has many of the features that this script does.
- jzawodn 13y agoAgreed. I've used rsnapshot for years and am not sure how this script really differs (better or worse). I can say that rsnapshot is a real workhorse that gives me a lot of peace of mind.
- netpenthe 13y ago+1, use it for everything to do hourly, daily, weekly, monthly backups. great tool
- burntsushi 13y agoSeconded. I set up `rsnapshot` some years ago to backup monthly, weekly and daily. It's been running ever since without interruption, and it's saved my butt on more than one occasion.
- jonhohle 13y agoAlso, dirvish[0]. I've used dirvish for several years (nearly a decade), both locally and remotely without issue. No configuration is necessary on the client, only on the backup server (alternatively you can flip it and put all of your configuration on the client). Uses rsync, hard links, and can keep snapshots at various intervals. 0 - http://www.dirvish.org http://www.dirvish.org
