You might want to try brackup (http://code.google.com/p/brackup/).
For
very large trees of relatively small files it seems to significantly out-perform rsync-based backups. I've got brackup packages in my repository (see http://www.openfusion.net/linux/openfusion_rpm_repository).
Cheers, Gavin
is it possible with " brackup " to back it up to a different server
on
the same lan instead of /backup . Is there any documentation on
the
same .
rsync or rdiff-backup works on local disk or remote disk.(and other backup methods too!)
Does http://code.google.com/p/brackup/ also work in on remote machines
.
Brackup will backup to local disk, or remotely to ftp, sftp, Amazon S3, or Rackspace CloudFiles targets/servers. So yes, on a lan you can backup over ftp or sftp just fine.
Re docs, install brackup, 'man Brackup::Manual::Overview'. I've also written a few blog posts on it: http://www.openfusion.net/tags/brackup.
Cheers, Gavin
I am trying to install the brackup app on my system, the documentations
seems very helpful ( http://www.openfusion.net/net/fun_with_brackup) But i have a few queries with the config file : [TARGET:backups] type = Filesystem path = /backup
[SOURCE:imapsource] path = /var/spool/imap chunk_size = 5m # what does this mean ???? gpg_recipient = 5E1B3EC5 # what does this mean ????
[SOURCE:bradhome] chunk_size = 64MB path = /raid/bradfitz/ ignore = ^.thumbnails/ ignore = ^.kde/share/thumbnails/ ignore = ^.ee/minis/ ignore = ^build/ ignore = ^(gqview|nautilus)/thumbnails/
and suppose i want to backup it up to another server with scp / ssh how is this attatined . secondly in whant format is the backup maintained .
