Dear Maintainer,
bung has been developed over eight years as a campus backup utility, running
on Debian and a few Ubuntu systems. It is known to be used on more than 100
computers
Documentation includes man pages and, available from
https://redmine.auroville.org.in/projects/bung/wiki/Bung_technology
user and programmer guides
Selected text from that page follows
bung is a set of wrapper scripts for several backup utilities:
* OpenLDAP (slapcat and tar)
* mysqldump
* pgdump
* rsync
bung also has:
* A "sysinfo" facility to generate system information reports
* Templated backups allowing custom backup commands. Example templates are
provided for Cisco switches and MikroTik routers
bung features:
* Automated backup to hotplug devices when they are plugged in with on-screen
notifications to both character terminals and X displays
* Backup to remote file systems via ssh
* Custom commands (hooks) to run before and after the backup itself
* File system hierarchy standard (FHS) compliant installation under /opt. For
cron jobs, documentation, the logcheck filter file and man pages, symlinks
are created in the conventional places with targets under /opt. Fori
convenience, /etc/opt/bung and /var/log/bung are created for configuration
and logs
* GPLv2
* Logging designed to ease production support
* LVM snapshots
* man pages
* Mounting and unmounting local file systems
* Remote ssh command validation
