Taurus - simple linux backup using tar pipes
Example:
> taurus --create /mnt/backup/frank /home/frank ## create a repository> taurus --update /mnt/backup/frank ## copy over new or modified files. backup old stuff.> taurus --restore /mnt/backup/frank /home/frank/important ## restore lost files
Taurus copies only the updated files from a given sourcedir
to a backup "repository" dir, excluding some optional exclude
patterns, using a tar pipe with a "level 1" snapshot
as described here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Incremental-Dumps.html
and http://blog.extracheese.org/2010/05/the-tar-pipe.html
It does not store a tar file; instead, it creates a "repository dir" which contains a
plain mirror of the source dir. Using tar pipes allows us to
* operate only on new or changed files (so it"s fast)
* maintain numbered backups of changed files (configurable)
On the down side, ofcourse,
* taurus tars and untars
