## ccollect - (pseudo) incremental backup with different exclude lists using hardlinks and rsync

|
|
<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/.
