The configuration parameters have to be TAB seperated (using standard whitespaces breaks).
Cosmetics. :-)
Rsnapshot does not support per source exclude lists (this is a real issue for bigger backup scenarios, as we use it here with > 30 machines).
I think it does: backup /var/ dream/ exclude=/var/tmp
Additionally rsync does not support per source pre or post execution of programs (for mounting, dumping databases, ...).
You can set cmd_preexec, cmd_postexec globally or per backup.
For large scale backup solution you need parallel execution, which ccollect is capable of, but rsnapshot not.
This should be possible with the latest rsnapshot (using sync/sync first) and multiple incarnations of rsnapshot, but it's not in there automatically.
I didn't look into rsnapshot code for a long time, but the last time they used 'cp -al' for cloning, if gnu cp was available. This is not necessary because of rsync's --link-dest parameter.
rsnapshot does this now. :-) Best Martin -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
