rsnappush(1) - rsync-based pushed incremental snapshot

SYNOPSIS

rsnappush [-h] [-r RSYNC_OPT] [-q] SOURCE_PATH [ACCOUNT:]DEST_PATH

DESCRIPTION

rsnappush is a wrapper around rsync(1) to assist in file-level incremental snapshots that are pushed to a destination. Unchanged files are hard-linked. Files are plainly laid out in a directory for each snapshot: DEST_PATH/backup-YYYYmmdd-HHMM/ for easy access and restoration.

SOURCE_PATH is any local path.

DEST_PATH is a path, local or remote. If remote, ACCOUNT specifies an ssh(1)-compatible account description, such as USER@HOST.

Additionally, under DEST_PATH there is a permissions/ directory created that has compressed output from getfacl(1). setfacl(1) can be used to restore permissions from this file once it is uncompressed.

EXAMPLE

rsnappush --rsync-opt=--partial-dir=/home/user2/rsync-partial \
          /home/user user2@remotehost:backups/
