Simple rsync backup
This repository contains a very basic rsync backup script. The bash script can be used to backup data both on Windows, for instance, using the Cygwin environment, or on Linux.
Features
- Incremental backups
- Backups can be canceled and resumed later
Usage
The backup configuration is provided by a Bash script ~/.srbrc that stores the
source directories for backup in an array variable called src. The destination
directory is specified by the variable dst. Additionally, one may provide the
name of the file containing a list of excluded files passed to rsync using the
--exclude-from parameter.
An example of a .srbrc:
src[0]=/cygdrive/d/Data1
src[1]=/cygdrive/d/Data2
dst=/cygdrive/e/Backup
exclude=~/.srbrc.d/excluded.txt
