csback - A toolkit written in python to manage backups.
===============================================================================

csback is a software suite and toolkit of tools to manage backups and test
their integrity from time to time. The tools are completely written in python
and should work both in python 2 and python 3. Because of avoiding to write
already available tools twice, csback falls back to tools like cron and rsync
the system logger (i.e. syslog-ng) and logrotate whenever possible. These tools
already should be installed on a large range of *nix operating systems.

----
Installation:
----
Use the provided Makefile and enter 

make install

to your command line. The Makefile will install softlinks to the python scripts
in your local ~/bin directory.

----
General approach to use csback:
----
First install the csback package as described above. Then write a configuration
file like csbackrc and generate a crontab by using csback2cron. Notice that
csback2cron will not perform any logical checks while converting a configuration
file to the crontab format.
Now announce the generated crontab to your cron deamon. cron will take care
scheduling the processes.

For more information how to set up a csback configuration file read the pdf
documentation which comes along with this package.
