sorry for bothering you again
Is it possible to tell rsnapshot to
perform each rsync call twice? The reason is that I want to have
whole snapshot from a very short time window, so it will be coherent if
restored. Perhaps I'm too concerned abuout safety here...
Before I started using rsnaphost I used just rsync to do that, and
usually first rsync call takes 20 minutes, second call takes 2
minutes, third call takes 2 seconds. So on the third call I know it's
rsynced in a really short time window. This behaviour must be
of course due to HDD caching (which is good).
Currently I had put two calls in crontab (using sync_first=1):
/usr/bin/rsnapshot sync && /usr/bin/rsnapshot sync && /usr/bin/rsnapshot hourly
But the problem is that it doesn't work like I described above,
because HDD caching cannot work when at first everything is synced,
and on second call again everything is synced - it's too much data to
cache.
What I really want is to have two (or three) rscync calls
corresponding to each "backup ..." line in /etc/rsnapshot.conf. This
will allow caching to kick in and speed up the second/third rsync call.
thank you in advance for your kind help
