ccollect was inspired by rsnapshot [1], which has some problems:
|
|
|
|
|
- configuration parameters has to be TAB seperated
|
|
|
|
|
- you can not specify per source exclude lists
|
2006-01-22 11:57:43 +00:00
|
|
|
- no per source pre/post execution support
|
2005-12-06 15:36:28 +00:00
|
|
|
- no parallel execution
|
2006-10-24 22:56:46 +00:00
|
|
|
- does unecessary moving of backup directories
|
2005-12-06 15:36:28 +00:00
|
|
|
- I didn't like the configuration at all, so I used the cconfig style [2].
