Hans-G?nter@25286 2 Rsnapshot makes it easy to make periodic snapshots of local machines,
Hans-G?nter@25286 3 and remote machines over ssh.
Hans-G?nter@25286 4 The code makes extensive use of hard links whenever possible, to greatly
Hans-G?nter@25286 5 reduce the disk space required.

Hans-G?nter@25286 7 Depending on your configuration, it is quite possible to set up in just

Hans-G?nter@25286 12 There are no tapes to change, so once it's set up, your backups can happen
Hans-G?nter@25286 13 automatically untouched by human hands.

Hans-G?nter@25286 15 snapshots, the amount of disk space used will not continuously grow.

Hans-G?nter@25286 17 It is written entirely in perl with no module dependencies, and has been
Hans-G?nter@25286 18 tested with versions 5.004 through 5.16.3.
Hans-G?nter@25286 19 It should work on any reasonably modern UNIX compatible OS.
