Hi all,
I am currently (ab)using rsync as a backup utility, creating hardlinks
to files that haven't changed since last backup.
Unfortunately, using a rsync daemon connection between different
machines, this is only possible as a pull-type process. I.e. the daemon
needs to run on the source and the client runs on the destination, doing
the hardlinks.
I was wondering if it is possible to incorporate the linking feature on
the daemon side so it is possible to push backups?
(A lot more convenient on M$ boxes!)
At the moment this can be emulated by using "post-xfer exec" calling on
"fdupes -rL ${RSYNC_MODULE_PATH}...".
But as the function is already in the program it might be nice to have
it available on the server side.
See ya,
Uwe
