rdup 0.6.4 (Default branch)
rdup is a utility inspired by rsync and the Plan9 way of doing backups. rdup itself does not backup anything; it only prints a list of the names of files that have changed since the last backup. It also handles files that are removed, allowing for correct incremental backups. Auxilary script that implement a backup strategy are included. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes:
The Perl conversion utilities were reimplemented in C as rdup-tr. This utility can be used for all kinds of file transformations (encryption, compression, etc.) and can generate tar, pax, cpio, or rdup ouput. With this release, there are no Perl dependencies left. All shell wrappers and other scripts were dropped from rdup. Numerous little bugs were also fixed. Image

svn-fast-backup

svn-fast-backup(1)					      General Commands Manual						svn-fast-backup(1)

NAME

       svn-fast-backup - very fast backup for Subversion fsfs repositories.

SYNOPSIS

       svn-fast-backup [-q] [-k{N|all}] [-f] [-t] [-s] repos_path backup_dir

DESCRIPTION

       svn-fast-backup uses rsync snapshots for very fast backup of a Subversion fsfs repository at repos_path to backup_dir/repos-rev, the latest
       revision number in the repository.  Multiple fsfs backups share data via hardlinks, so old backups are almost free, since a newer  revision
       of a repository is almost a complete superset of an older revision.

       This  is  good for replacing incremental log-dump+restore-style backups because it is just as space-conserving and even faster; there is no
       inter-backup state (old backups are essentially caches); each backup directory is self-contained.  It has the same  command-line  interface
       as svn-hot-backup(1) (if you use --force), but only works for fsfs repositories.

       svn-fast-backup keeps 64 backups by default and deletes backups older than these; this can be adjusted with the -k option.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Shows some brief help text.

       -q, --quiet
	      Quieter-than-usual operation.

       -k, --keep=N
	      Keep a specified number of backups; the default is to keep 64.

       -k, --keep=all
	      Do not delete any old backups at all.

       -f, --force
	      Make a new backup even if one with the current revision exists.

       -t, --trace
	      Show actions.

       -s, --simulate
	      Don't perform actions.
