ccollect_add_source(1) ====================== Nico Schottelius NAME ---- ccollect_add_source - create new source for ccollect(1) SYNOPSIS -------- 'ccollect_add_source.sh' DESCRIPTION ----------- ccollect_add_source.sh creates a new backup source for use with ccollect(1). It copies the files from to the source directory with the hostname below '$CCOLLECT_CONF/sources'. It is designed to run on a backup server to create new directories for new hosts. FILES ----- $CCOLLECT_CONF/defaults/sources:: Main configuration directory. $CCOLLECT_CONF is '/etc/ccollect', if unset. All the following files reside below this directory. exclude:: summary:: intervals:: pre_exec:: post_exec:: rsync_options:: verbose:: very_verbose:: Those are the standard configuration files known by ccollect(1). If the file exist it will be copied to the newly created source. Directories ('intervals') are copied recursively. destination_base:: A link to the directory where to store the backups. Below this directory `ccollect_add_source.sh` will create a directory with the hostname you specified on the command line. A common valua for `destination_base` is '/home/server/backup'. source_prefix:: source_postfix:: `source_prefix` is put before the hostname, `source_postfix` is appended after it. A common value for `source_prefix` maybe 'root@' and ':/' for `source_postfix`.
