#### ccollect - (pseudo) incremental backup with different exclude lists using hardlinks and rsync
<P ALIGN="center">
<a href="screenshots/">
![ccollect-0.7.1](screenshots/ccollect-0.7.1-screenshot-20090527.png "Example output of ccollect-0.6")
</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is outdated and thus removed.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:
<ul>
<li>FreeBSD: amd64/i386
<li>Linux: alpha/hppa/ppc/i386
<li>NetBSD: alpha/sparc64/i386/amd64
<li>OpenBSD: amd64
</ul>
Feel free to send an e-mail if you are running ccollect on another
OS or architecture.
### Sample configurations
<ul>
<li><a href="config/ccollect-buche-2006-06-16.tar.bz2">Configuration
for ccollect 0.4 or later from buche.intern.schottelius.org</a>
<li><a href="config/ccollect-eiche-2006-02-05.tar.bz2">Configuration
for ccollect 0.3.3 or earlier from eiche.intern.schottelius.org</a>
</ul>
### Getting ccollect
You can get the latest (development) version via git:
git clone git://git.schottelius.org/cLinux/ccollect.git
A git mirror can be found at
* [github](http://github.com/telmich/ccollect/tree/master)
Alternatively, you can
[look at the current
status in gitweb](http://git.schottelius.org/?p=cLinux/ccollect.git;a=summary).
