changed my backup strategy today
Today I had to rethink my backup strategy on my server!
Until today I used rdiff-backup to backup my home folder.
On every "restore" I had to reread it's manual :-(
Alain mentioned rsnap (original written by Daniel).
I want to keep backups:
(just replace: SOMEUSER, SOMEHOST, SOMEPATH, SRC and DST)

I want to keep backups:
- daily backup's for a week
- weekly backup's for a month
- and keep a backup for every month.
#!/bin/sh
# get day of month (e.g, 01)
DOM=`date +%d`
# get day of week (0..6); 0 is Sunday
DOW=`date +%w`
# numbers of backup to keep
NOB=
# backup method folder
BMF=
# source folder to backup
SRC="/home/"
# destination folder/location for backup
DST="SOMEUSER@SOMEHOST:/SOMEPATH/home/"
# path to rsnap
RSNAP=/usr/local/bin/rsnap
# choose which backup method:
if [ '01' == $DOM ]; then
echo "first of month -> montly backup!"
NOB=12
BMF="MONTHLY/"
elif [ '0' == $DOW ]; then
echo "it's sunday -> weekly backup!"
NOB=5
BMF="WEEKLY/"
else
echo "do a daily backup!"
NOB=6
BMF="DAILY/"
fi
$RSNAP $NOB $SRC $DST$BMFHope this is usefull for someone.
(just replace: SOMEUSER, SOMEHOST, SOMEPATH, SRC and DST)
