rsnapshot Reviews

rsnapshot Description

rsnapshot allows you to take periodic snapshots of your local machine and remote machines via ssh. To reduce disk space, the code makes extensive use hard links whenever possible. It is possible to set it up in a matter of minutes depending on your configuration. Users who have the files can restore them without the root user being involved. You don't need to modify tapes, so your backups will be automatically created and can be restored by the users who own them. Because rsnapshot only stores a fixed, but configurable number of snapshots per day, the disk space used won't grow indefinitely. It is entirely written in perl without module dependencies. It has been tested with versions 5.004 to 5.16.3. It should work with any modern UNIX compatible OS.
