#### 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/.
|
|
