tob is a general driver for making and maintaining backups.
|
|
|
|
Given a set of `volume definitions', it creates arj, tar or afio based
|
|
backups, and stores them either to a device in /dev, or a file in the
|
|
filesystem, to be burned to optical media later, moved off to other
|
|
machines, etc. Through a straightforward configuration file, you can
|
|
instruct tob to mount and unmount devices before beginning backups.
|
|
|
|
tob supports full backups, differential backups (of the files which
|
|
were changed since the last full backup), and incremental backups (of
|
|
files changed since any previous backups). It lets you determine the
|
|
size of the backup before actually making it, maintain listings of
|
|
made backups, make remote backups and possibly more.
