Dear Folks, I have to backup pgsql database dump everynight on a routine. The database dump actually contains sql(text) statements. The actual size of the database dump is aroung 800 MB. Between two days backup, only few lines of statements are modified/added/deleted.
I dont want to do incremental backup. Instead, I want everyday's full dump to be stored on to a folder named DD-MM-YY(ex: 01-05-08). Everyday there will be a folder created with name DD-MM-YY and the dump will be stored there. Since the difference between the two day's backup are pretty minimal, I dont want to resend the 800 MB files everyday. Suppose, 1. I have taken yesterdays dump in a folder named 04-05-08 in database server 2. I have rsynced the folder 04-05-08 to the backup server. 3. I have taken today's dump in folder named 05-05-08 in database server. 4. Now while doing rsync, I want rsync to compare the <database server's 05-05-08/dump file> with the <04-05-08/dump file> which already exists in backup server. (then eventually, I want rsync to send only the differences and store the output in folder 05-05-08). Typicaly I want to take advantage of yesterday's file which already present in a different folder. Can anyone suggest a working method to implement this ? (I tried --copy-dest / --compare-dest .. but couldnt get it to work) Any response in this regard is most appreciated.
