Backup Central

Hi all,

I wanted to get a list of files which were saved in the last snapshot to optimize my exclude list. This can be done certainly with the log level in rsnapshot.conf to see the list of files which were backuped, but just in case it can help somebody, I share this... What I did is list all files which don't have a hardlink. May be it can be useful for somebody else:

Just go in for example "hourly.0" if it's the last snapshot and run the following command:

ls -aslR | tr -s " " | grep -E " -......... 1 "

2011/8/31 Gilles Martin <vongillus < at > gmail.com>:
ls -aslR | tr -s " " | grep -E " -......... 1 "

man find

Don't you mean 'find hourly.0 | LANG=C sort" ?

the "LANG=C sort" gets it to be sorted in a case-sensitive fashion.

No he means read the manual for `find'.

The original poster's problem (finding all new files in the backup) is
most nicely solved with
find hourly.0 -links 1 -print
