backup manager
Scripts to manage hardlink style backups where very frequent snapshots may be made and only new files are stored. Another advantage of this type of backup is the elimination of full plus incremental backups, availability of previous versions of files, and use of standard tools like 'diff' to query the storage area for changes.
- bkp-wrapper
- Handy wrapper script for backup-manager so that the crontab entries are simply one for backups, and another for the backup pruning operation.
- backup-manager
- The main backup-manager script, written in bash, does both the backups and pruning operation.
- exclude.list
- The web site needs many files excluded from backups as they are either dynamic or compressed versions of the source page files. This exclusion list is used by rsync to ignore files that are not to be backed up.
