Hallo! I am running rsync-2.6.2-1.fc2.0 on fedora 2 server. I use incremental backup with rsync, and I have 7 folders that are rotated on a daily basis. At the moment I run backup only one time each day.
/home-area on my server uses 18G, and all the 7 backups together fill up 19G on my usb-disk, so I think my script works okay. It looks like this: rsync -verbose -progres -a --link-dest=/mnt/usbd/daglig/backup1 My question is: Can anyone help me with a script that takes backup of for example the 5 last revisions of the files on /home, so that backup1 contains version 1 of a file, backup2 contains version 2 of a file and so on? Of course if a file has noe revision it should only be kept in its originalyy state in backup1. I have googled for this for quite a while but I have not found anything so far, so I hope someone can give me som advice on this. Thanks a lot!
