Dear Friends
Can anyone help me write a script for incremental backup using rsync to create multiple restore-point-backup that can be easily restored?
I feel a full backup once in 400 days, with hourly incremental, daily incremental and weekly incremental backup being rotated in a way in which 1 full backup followed by 24 hourly incremental backups, interspersed with 7 daily incremental backups and 5 weekly incremental backups may be protection enough for my data. What is the you all's expert opinion? Kindly suggest a better methodology please.
Would it be better if these backups are compressed and stored in tar format? Kindly guide please.
Try this http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
Very simple to deploy and use with web based control panel
Regards and thank you all in advance Kshitiz
