ccollect backups data from local or remote hosts to your local harddisk.


You can retriev 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].


A small try to visualize the differnces in a table:
