adlibre / adlibre-backup Goto Github PK

It would be great to have a "status" feature:

./bin/status.sh --all
foo.example.com - <last backup> - success/fail/partial

might it be possible to integrate multiple host backups at the same time? something like jobs=4 within backup.conf

for sure this would speed up the backupjobs since rsync is not the fastest

Don't you need to use rsync's --inplace option to get the efficiency of the snapshotting of ZFS (and I would assume btrfs)?

Otherwise when rsync detects any change of file content it rebuilds the new file in a temporary name such as .$filename.$unique_string in the same directory as the original file, pulling data from the original local file and the remote file to reconstruct the new local file. But only once it's reconstructed in that temporary file does it then replace (probably with what is effectively a mv) the original file with the new file. But by that time you have lost the efficiency of not duplicating the identical blocks between the snapshot(s) and where the new file is being created.

Currently it generates a warning if send_nsca is not found. It should be possible to use without this.

send_nsca not found. Please specify $NSCA_BIN location in backup.conf.

Sorry to ask via issues, but I wondered if the project is still alive (expanding in features) and maintained (not sure since there were no commits for over a year)?
Thanks in advance!

Is there a possibility to use the rsync protocol instead of using ssh?

I'd like to connect to rsync://<hostname>/<target> instead of root@<hostname>/<target> because in our use case , security is not a concern, but network speed is much faster using unencrpyted rsync data.
