bash-rsnapshot

is a collection of script for backuping things on linux computers.

The initial idea is to backup on external drives with the ability to rotate the disks.

rsnapshot.sh

bash script that mount an external usb device with its uuid and run rsnapshot.

installation

install rsnapshot and configure it.

snapshot_root must reflect -p parameter

usage

rsnapshot.sh -u [device_UUID] -r [rsnapshot_category]

options are:

-p [mount_path]

or

-a to automatically fetch the path from /etc/rsnapshot.conf

Crontab sample

0       *     *       *       *       bash rsnapshot.sh -u 5be75f53-44d0-4e10-bccc-ef30872e7951 -r hourly -a
0       0     *       *       *       bash rsnapshot.sh -u 5be75f53-44d0-4e10-bccc-ef30872e7951 -r daily -a

For disk rotation simply duplicate the crontab lines with the second uuid
