snaprd

Snaprd is a program that helps you to make backups of directories to another file system or server. You can run it on a server that has enough disk space and let it continuously fetch incremental changes from another server. Snaprd will make sure that only as many snapshots are created as match your given schedule or free space restrictions.

- Continuous creation of snapshots at certain intervals
- Pruning (sieving) snapshots based on fixed schedule, make snapshots more scarce the older they get
- Pruning snapshots based on free disk space requirements
- Uses rsync to create snapshots
- Every snapshot is a complete copy, using hard links to save disk space
- Designed to run silently in the background
- E-Mail notifications on special occasions
- Repository is designed to be exported via e. g. nfs or smb to enable users to do restores of single files or directories
- Tested with small and huge (100TB) backup sources
