#### ccollect - (pseudo) incremental backup with different exclude lists using hardlinks and rsync
|
|
|
|
<P ALIGN="center">

|

|
</a>
|
|
<P>ccollect backups data from local and remote hosts to your local harddisk.
|
|
Although ccollect creates full backups, it requires very less space on the
|
|
backup medium, because ccollect uses hardlinks to create an initial copy of
|
|
the last backup. Only the inodes used by the hardlinks and the changed files
|
|
need additional space.
|
|
|
|
ccollect uses [rsync](http://www.samba.org/rsync/) for synchronisation.
|
|
Since ccollect-0.2 there is [asciidoc](http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/)
|
|
based documentation included in the distribution (see below).
|
|
You should also be able to configure ccollect with the help of the example
|
|
configuration in conf/.
|
|
|
|
### Documentation
|
|
|
|
You can read
|
|
|
|
* the ccollect handbook as
|
|
<a href="doc/ccollect.text">text</a>,
|
|
<a href="doc/ccollect.html">HTML</a>,
|
|
<a href="doc/ccollect.htm">HTML (docbook)</a>,
|
|
* the ccollect manpage as
|
|
<a href="doc/man/ccollect.text">text</a>,
|
|
<a href="doc/man/ccollect.1">troff</a>
|
|
<a href="doc/man/ccollect.html">HTML</a>
|
|
<a href="doc/man/ccollect.htm">HTML (docbook)</a>
|
|
* or view some <a href="screenshots/">screenshots</a>.
|
|
|
|
There used to be a German translation of the handbook, but it
|
|
is outdated and thus removed.
|
|
|
|
### Portability
|
|
As ccollect is a simple shell script, it should run on
|
|
any POSIX compatible OS. It is known or reported to run on:
|
|
|
|
* FreeBSD: amd64/i386
|
|
* Linux: alpha/hppa/ppc/i386
|
|
* NetBSD: alpha/sparc64/i386/amd64
|
|
* OpenBSD: amd64
|
|
Feel free to send an e-mail if you are running ccollect on another
|
|
OS or architecture.
|
|
|
|
