title: irregular backups with rsnapshot (and rsnapshot_ii)
date: 22.01.2013 19:08

As stated in the last post I bought a big 2TB HDD for backups. My only
computer right now is a Laptop so regular backups are not possible (due to not
having the hdd with me all the time)
I needed another way for easy full and incremental backups without relying to much on specific intervals.
I came across [rsnapshot][], which - well - does depend on regular intervals.
But here comes [rsnapshot_ii][], a small wrapper script for rsnapshot.
It "fixes" these two problems the author (and I) had:
* Backups with irregular intervals.
* Missed backups.
I uploaded my config here ([gist][]):
* [rsnapshot.conf][]
* [exclude][]
And as promised in the last post the script I use to mount the HDD: [mount-backup][]
