I changed gnabak a little so that it will try to hardlink with backup from all past dates instead of just the previous ones: < push(@args, "--link-dest", "../$_") foreach @history; --- > push(@args, "--link-dest", "../".$history[0]) if @history; Running gnabak.pl with the --simulate give this rsync invocation for instance: command: /usr/bin/rsync -a --rsh ssh -l backup --delete --delete-excluded --numeric-ids --exclude lost+found --exclude /praksys/praksys/ --exclude /underware/debian/ --exclude /underware/iso/ --exclude /daily/ --link-dest ../svn_2009-09-24 --link-dest ../svn_2009-09-23 --link-dest ../svn_2009-09-22 --link-dest ../svn_2009-09-19 --link-dest ../svn_2009-09-14 --link-dest ../svn_2009-09-04 --link-dest ../svn_2009-09-03 --link-dest ../svn_2009-09-02 --link-dest ../svn_2009-09-01 svn.gna.org:/var/svn/ svn_2009-09-25 This should help a lot with missing or half-finished backups, were gnabak would download old files *again*. We'll confirm tomorrow if at least I didn't break anything :) _______________________________________________ Project mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/project
