Hi all,
I have a backup server in my LAN that keeps some rsnapshot
(www.rsnapshot.org) backups. For those of you who don't know the tool,
rsnapshot works by taking incremental backups, hard linking the files
that don't change from one backup to the next (thus, keeping the
consecutive backups smaller than the first big one.)
I want to send these backups to a remote server every day or so. I
tried scp'ing it, but scp resolves the hard links, causing me
headaches and too much space to be used in my remote server. I then
tried SSHFS (sshfs.sourceforge.net), and the same thing happened. Same
applies to SHFS.
I know NFS would keep the hard links instead of resolving them (cp
-d), but I'm not up to put NFS over the internet since that can be a
bad idea from the security standpoint. So my question is: is there a
way for me to make that transfer and keep the hard links?
OpenAFS (www.openafs.org) is designed and built for this category of
network connectivity and application with rock-solid security even on public
access networks.
If interested email me offline and I can send you a set of scripts that
will keep
you going rapidly.
Hope this helps.
