Howdy All,
I've been investigating using my rsnapshot backups as a
tripwire-style file change notification system (see my blog entry at
http://erek.blumenthals.com/blog/?p=13 for the background) Basically I'd
like to see rsnapshot log a list of each file that changed when it does
a backup.
Here's what I'm thinking for implementation:
(1) change rsnapshot so that it uses open() rather than system(), so
that it is able to capture the output that rsync sends
(2) enable --itemize-changes in rsync long args when rsnapshot is
configured to log file changes.
(3) Have rsnapshot capture the output from itemize changes and send it
to a per-host log file. Have it output any other rsync output to
stdout, to mimic the previous behavior.
If it's properly documented and configurable, is this a change that
could be added to the rsnapshot source tree? Are other people
interested in seeing per-file change logging in rsnapshot?
Happy Holidays!
Erek
