/**********************************************************\ * Simple Backup programm in Java from Sascha and Markus * planetmarkus(at)googlemail(dot)com \**********************************************************/ @version: 1.1 @author: Markus & Sascha @desc: This is just a simple program to use the rsync function to copy some files. The program runs with Linux and Macintosh. When you use a Mac, you can use the software out of the box, because Java is automatically installed. If you want to use the program on your Linux/Ubuntu PC, then you have to install at least Java 1.5 (Java name it Java 5) @help: The tool is simple to use: -- just click on "Quellverzeichnis" and choose the directory you want to save -- just click on "Zielverzeichnis" and choose the directory where you want to save it -- then click on "Backup Now" and wait until you will see some information shown up in the left lower corner (it can take a while and it depends on how much you want to save) The next time you use the program, only the changes between the folders will be synchronized. If the program seems to stuck, try to copy the folders you want to backup using cp or scp. You may then see, that some files can not be copied. For example they are already in use by another process. Then Rsync can not copy the files either :) The command used is rsync -avz, that means there is no "delete" command within the tool. The benefit is, you can not delete something by doing something wrong. The disadvantage is, you have to delete some changes manually. The progam is licensed under the GPL. @disclaimer: I am not responsible for damage that may happen or data that will be lost. @downloaded: This file passed the mirror of Together Technologies!
