Incremental Backups
I read the following hint at: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Incremental mv backup.0 backup.1 rsync -a --delete --link-dest=../backup.1 source_directory/ backup.0/ I simply want to maintain a dated backup of a server so that I could always go back to a certain date. I would like to keep this structure for each day for the last seven days, then one weekly snapshot for each week in the month and then each month I would like to have as well. It seems that this method would not use terribly much space in terms of duplicating files, however I am not sure of the --delete portion, it seems that I should remove the delete as I would like to at any point be able to go back in time and look at a snapshot of the server. Is this a correct assessment? And if so, would the more appropriate rsync command go as follows? sudo rsync -azRv -e ssh --exclude-from=/Users/someuser/scripts/Server_Scripts/etc/rsync_exclude --link-dest=../Server_Backup.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ Server_Backup.current Thanks much for any help! -George -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
