<h3>(pseudo) incremental backup with different exclude lists using hardlinks and rsync</h3>

<P ALIGN="center"><IMG SRC="screenshots/ccollect-0.4-a.png" ALT="ccollect 0.4">
<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.
<BR>ccollect uses rsync for synchronisation. Since ccollect-0.2 there is 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/.
