This is a simple BASH script which will backup source directories to a destination target, such as a mounted NFS share. It will create a full directory structure matching the source, but only use disk space for new/changed files. This is done by linking existing files.

Essentially, it backs up like an incremental backup, and consumes space like an incremental backup, but restores like a full backup.

Features

  • Deduplication
  • Complete or partial restore
  • Individual file copy/backup/restore
  • Preserves UGO permissions and ownership
