 +======= Simple backupscript utilizing rsync and hardlinks =======
  
 +===== Synopsis ======
 +
 +Backup remote machines using ssh and rsync, utilizing hardlinks for files that has not changed since last backup
 +
 +===== Configuration =====
 +
 +<code>
 +BACKUPUSER=backup
 +BASEDIR=/backup/
 +CONFDIR=/usr/local/etc/backup
 +DIR="/etc /usr/local/etc"
 +</code>
 +
 +^ setting ^ description ^
 +| backupuser | is the user rsync users to connect to the remote machine, change this to the user you want to use |
 +| basedir | is the directory your backups are stored in. A file hieracy will be created here /{basedir}/{servername}/{date}/{directory} |
 +| confdir | is the directory with local configuration files (excludes and per-host configuration) |
 +| dir | default directories to backup - this can be changed on a per-host or hostgroup basis |
 +
 +For per-host configuration you need to create ''hostconf.sh'' in ''$CONFDIR'' (default is ''/usr/local/etc/backup/hostconf.sh'')
 +
 +This file needs a host_conf function which will be called with the hostname as an option
 +backup script will run fine without this initial configuration
 +
 +example:
 +<code>
 +host_conf()
 +{
 +case ${1} in
 + web*)
 +  DIR="${DIR} /usr/local/www"
 +  HOSTGROUP="web freebsd denmark"
 + ;;
 +esac
 +}
 +</code>
 +
 +Furthermore the system looks for exclude files named: ''exclude.default exclude.servername exclude.hostgroup''
 +
 +using the above example and a hostname of ''web01.example.org'', the following files would be included (if they exist):
 +
 +<code>
 +exclude.default
 +exclude.web01.example.org
 +exclude.web
 +exclude.freebsd
 +exclude.denmark
 +</code>
 +
 +note: if you specify DEFAULT_EXCLUDE=0 for a host, ''exclude.default'' will not be loaded.
 +
 +These files need to hold regex or fullname of files to exclude
 +example:
 +<code>
 +*.zip
 +*.t[gb]z
 +*.flv
 +</code>
 +
 +or look at my example files: hostconf.sh exclude.default exclude.web exclude.mysql
 +Hint: you can use zfs (or another file system with compression enabled) to have your easily compressed files etc compressed on-the-fly
