<p>If you used <tt>rsync</tt> directly before you use <tt>ccollect</tt>, you can

use this old backup as initial backup for <tt>ccollect</tt>: You

simply move it into a subdirectory named "<em>intervall</em>.0".</p>

Re-using already created rsync-backups
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir intervall.0 ; mv * intervall;
|
||||
If you used `rsync` directly before you use `ccollect`, you can
|
||||
use this old backup as initial backup for `ccollect`: You
|
||||
simply move it into a subdirectory named "'intervall'.0".
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
backup:/home/backup/web1# ls
|
||||
bin dev etc initrd lost+found mnt root srv usr vmlinuz
|
||||
boot doc home lib media opt sbin tmp var vmlinuz.old
|
||||
|
||||
backup:/home/backup/web1# mkdir daily.0
|
||||
|
||||
# ignore error about copying to itself
|
||||
backup:/home/backup/web1# mv * daily.0 2>/dev/null
|
||||
|
||||
backup:/home/backup/web1# ls
|
||||
daily.0
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Now you could use /home/backup/web1 as the `destination` for the backup.
|
||||
|
||||
[NOTE]
|
||||
===============================================================================
|
||||
Do *not* name the first backup something like "daily.initial", but use
|
||||
the "*0*" (or some very low number, at least lower than the current year)
|
||||
as extension. `ccollect` uses `sort` to find the latest backup. `ccollect`
|
||||
itself uses 'intervall.YEAR-MONTH-DAY-HOUR:MINUTE.PID'. This notation will
|
||||
*always* be before "daily.initial", as numbers are earlier in the list
|
||||
which is produced by `sort`. So, if you have a directory named "daily.initial",
|
||||
`ccollect` will always diff against this backup and transfer and delete
|
||||
files which where deleted in previous backups. This means you simply
|
||||
waste resources, but your backup will be complete.

F.A.Q.
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
What happens, if one backup is broken / empty?
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Let us assume, that one backup failed (connection broke or hard disk had
|
||||
some failures). So we've one backup in our history, which is incomplete.
|
||||
|
||||
The next time you use `ccollect`, it will transfer the missing files
