backup-rsync

Wrapper for rsync to make periodic incremental filesystem backups

Example

Put on backup machine config file /etc/backup-rsync.yml:

---
root_dir: "/home/backup"
concurrent_rsync: 3
retention_days: 7
hosts:
- name: host1
  dirs:
  - path: "/path/to/backup_dir"
  
- name: host2
  retention_days: 24
  dirs:
  - path: "/path/to/backup_dir1"
    retention_days: 12
    bandwidth_limit: 1000 # in KB/s
  - path: "/path/to/backup_dir2"
  
- name: host3
  login_user: user3
  login_port: 2222
  dirs:
  - path: "/path/to/backup_dir1"
    retention_days: 32
  - path: "/path/to/backup_dir3"
    bandwidth_limit: 100 # in KB/s

There'll be created backups in /home/backup directory:
