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 have 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:
