This is a script I wrote so that I could backup using rdiff-backup with a configuration file and a call to this script, instead of doing individual calls to rdiff-backup. Initially (and script still supports) I did this because I wanted to have an easy want to the do the backup including *LVM snaphots*.
The script supports backups that first take an lvm snapshot and backup from the snapshot rather than actual disk. Unforunately on my system I noticed instability when using lvm snapshots of root and/or var and thus stopped using them (that and the amount of space I had to set aside). I hope you find the script (attached) and example configuration (also attached) useful and interesting. -- <erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.
