Bug#895694: ITA: storebackup -- fancy compressing managing checksumming deduplicating hard-linking cp -ua
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to adopt the storebackup package.
I still created a package at mentors.debian.net, including the newest
upstream version and closing some bugs. Maybe there's someone out there
who wants to review and sponsor it. Oh, btw... I could need a mentor in
order to become a DM (or DD) someday :)
The source package is downloadable at
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/storebackup/storebackup_3.5-2.dsc
The package description is:
Copies directory hierarchies recursively into another location,
by date (e.g. /home/ => /var/bkup/2002.12.13_04.27.56/).
Permissions are preserved, so users with access to the backup
directory can recover their files themselves.
.
File comparisons are done with MD5 checksums, so no changes go
unnoticed.
.
Hard-links unchanged backuped files to old versions and
identical files within the backuped tree.
.
Compresses large files (that don't match exclusion patterns).
