ccollect.sh, Nico Schottelius, 2005-12-06

|
|
|
|
ccollect backups (local or remote) data to local or remote destinations.
|
|
|
|
You can retrieve the latest version of ccollect at [0].
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
- no per source pre/post execution support
|
|
- no parallel execution
|
|
- does unecessary moving of backup directories
|
|
- I didn't like the configuration at all, so I used the cconfig style [2].
|
|
|
|
Please use tools/report_success.sh to report success, if you are successfully
|
|
using ccollect.
|
|
|
|
Have a look at doc/HACKING, if you plan to change ccollect.

A small try to visualize the differences in a table:
