Re: Any interest in something like Filesystem_Backup

Have a look at this... http://www.akbkhome.com/svn/akpear/Backup_Snapshot/ It's designed around rsync / cp -l snapshoting. It supports backups from rsync / mysql diff dumps.. etc. Some of it works ;) Regards Alan Keith Palmer Jr. wrote:

I was wondering if there is any interest in something along the lines of a Filesystem_Backup class. Basically the idea is a class which reads configuration files and makes full or incremental backups of a filesystem using the parameters given in the config file. The class would support things like rotating backups (store the last 7 days of backups only), refresh backup from a tar.gz file, tar.gz an existing filesystem, create a backup from an FTP site, etc. etc. Any thoughts/interest? - Keith
