Backup Central

Hi Rob,

You should also be able to do this with the following command:

rsnapshot du

The website, and future development and maintenance of rsnapshot has
been handed over to David Cantrell. Perhaps he will update the FAQ :)

Thanks,
-Nathan

Because, unless you tell it otherwise, du will tell you the size of
*everything* under each directory. You have to tell it (as Scott
posted) to not count hard links multiple times. I'm pretty sure
you'll find more details in the list archive.

You'll find rnapshot-diff helps here.

(Actually, that's probably a good topic for a FAQ entry - Nathan?)

I think I found the source of two problems I was
having:

1) 23 and 24 rsync errors in log (simultaneous data
access)
- haven't fixed yet, but it looks like my provider
also has backup scripts running at the same time

2) mysql table locking and bringing site down.

- i think this is due to the mysqlbackup script I
wrote (and sent out awhile back). I'm actually working
on a new version of it that supports postgres too (I
will see if there's a "do-not-lock-tables" option
needed for the dumps.


I've renamed it rsnapshotdb, in the hopes that when I
submit it, whoever the current admin is will add it to
the repository.

The question for me is why the backup directories daily.0, daily.1 and daily.2 have similar sizes
(around 36 GB). I'm not able to change that amount of files (picture, pdf-documents, etc which makes
some thousand files in total) within one day.
