#65 Issue closed: Integrate rsnapshot/rbme functionality¶

Labels: enhancement, discuss / RFC

Technically the most interesting backup solution is using rsync with rsnapshot/rbme alike functionality. We may want to implement just that by default instead of plain rsync.

That would be really nice. Because it's not buldin, I implemented a very basic rsync incremental functionality for saving incremental "weekdays".

setting in local.conf:

BACKUP_RSYNC_OPTIONS=( "${BACKUP_RSYNC_OPTIONS[@]}" --force --backup --backup-dir=/$NETFS_PREFIX/$(date +%A) )

added to /usr/share/rear/backup/RSYNC/default/50_make_rsync_backup.sh

                               (rsync)
                                        # dc-systeme addon for incremental rsync
                                        if [[ "${BACKUP_RSYNC_OPTIONS[@]}" =~ "--backup" ]]
                                         then
                                                mkdir $TMP_DIR/emptydir
                                                LogPrint "Cleaning $BACKUP_PROG backup-dir '${RSYNC_PROTO}://${RSYNC_USER}@${RSYNC_HOST}:${RSYNC_PORT}/${RSYNC_PATH}/${RSYNC_PREFIX}/$(date +%A)'"
                                                $BACKUP_PROG --password-file=/etc/rsync.password --delete -a $TMP_DIR/emptydir/ \
                                                "${RSYNC_PROTO}://${RSYNC_USER}@${RSYNC_HOST}:${RSYNC_PORT}/${RSYNC_PATH}/${RSYNC_PREFIX}/$(date +%A)"
                                                rm -Rf $TMP_DIR/emptydir
                                        fi

not very nice, but maybe you can use it as an idea.

As RBME has been added into rear I guess we can close this request?
