ccollect.sh, Nico Schottelius, 2005-12-06

|
|
|
ccollect backups data from local or remote hosts to your local harddisk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can retriev the latest version of ccollect at [0].
|
|
|
|
ccollect was inspired by rsnapshot [1], which had some problems:
|
|
- configuration parameters had to be TAB seperated
|
|
- you could not specify exclude lists differently for every source
|
|
- no parallel execution
|
|
- I didn't like the configuration at all, so I used the cconfig style [2].

$CCOLLECT_CONF/
|
|
-> Directories, which are so called 'backup-definitions'
|
|
|
|
$dir/
|
|
source -> file with the source
|
|
destination -> link to the destination
|
|
exclude -> \n seperated
|
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
source - a rsync compatible source (one liner)
|
|
|
|
For instance:
|
|
|
|
backup_user@foreign_host:/home/server/video
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/SRC
|
|
|
|
Have a look at rsync(1).
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
verbose - should we log verbose or silent
|
|
|
|
If this file exists in the source specification -v will be passed to rsync.
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
exclude - a new line seperated list of paths to exclude
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
destination - a link to the destination directory
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
intervalls/ - subdirectory of source or defaults
|
|
|
|
Each file below this directory describe an intervalls.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
log - link to file we should log to
|
|
|
|
If a backup source exists (the cconfig dir exists) all logs for this
|
|
source will be written to this file. General errors and errors of
|
|
non existent or broken configuration will be logged to stderr.
|
|
|
|
I do not think it is senseful to have one logfile for all sources, as
|
|
the sources can be backuped in parallel and you would not be able to
|
|
distinguish the different log processes very good then.
|
|
|
|
If you REALLY REALLY REALLY want to have all in one logfile, simply
|
|
link all "log" entries to the same file, output will be appended.
