-===== setup using rsnapshot-backup ===== 
  
-==== preface ==== 
  
-I'm using ''rsnapshot-backup'' which is basically a wrapper around rsnapshot. 
  
-It uses one setup per system to backup with one config, exclude and script file. 
-There are also individual backup and logging directories. 
-There is a scheduler which parallelizes backup runs and a configuration frontend 
-using template files to create the backup jobs. 
  
-There is also an enabling mechnism using symlinks. +==== Example for creating a zpool: ====
- +
-A typical backup job configuration consists of: +
- +
-<code> +
-/etc/rsnapshot-backup.d/conf.<BACKUP-CLIENT> +
-/etc/rsnapshot-backup.d/exclude.<BACKUP-CLIENT> +
-/etc/rsnapshot-backup.d/script.<BACKUP-CLIENT>    # optional +
-/etc/rsnapshot-backup.d/enabled/conf.<BACKUP-CLIENT> -> ../conf.<BACKUP-CLIENT> +
- +
-/backup/hosts/<BACKUP-CLIENT>/daily.0 +
-/backup/hosts/<BACKUP-CLIENT>/... +
-</code> +
- +
-Here, this all runs on Debian GNU/Linux, so the examples refer to this environment. +
- +
-==== details ==== +
- +
-rsnapshot-zfs-helper is to be configured inside rsnapshot's configuration files. i.e. '''/etc/rsnapshot-backup.d/conf.<BACKUP-CLIENT>''' +
- +
-Additionally, '''cmd_cp''' has to be set to '''/bin/true''' - so the "cp -al ..." is rendered harmless. +
- +
-<code> +
-cmd_cp        /bin/true +
-cmd_preexec   /usr/sbin/rsnapshot-zfs-helper /etc/rsnapshot-backup.d/enabled/conf.<BACKUP-CLIENT> preexec +
-cmd_postexec  /usr/sbin/rsnapshot-zfs-helper /etc/rsnapshot-backup.d/enabled/conf.<BACKUP-CLIENT> postexec +
