backup
backup is a set of Perl scripts that use rsync to perform backups to a local disk, on the assumption that disk is cheap. From there, it's a trivial matter to send a copy to tape or another stable media.
It currently consists of three scripts:
- backup, the script that does all the work.
- genhost.pl, a script which can automate building configuration files for Unix-ish hosts.
- genwinhost.pl, a script which can automate building configuration files for Win* hosts.
Documentation is included in pod format in the backup script. You can also read a copy here.
