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

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime
Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.
