this is =============================================================================== 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. ---- Documentation: ---- This package comes along with a pdf documentation which is located in doc/manual.pdf. ----- END OF README -----
