./sysutils/bcollect, Incremental remote backup tool

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.6.0, Package name: bcollect-0.6.0, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

bcollect is a tool for backing up remote hosts to local directories. It
can keep a defined number of copies for specific backup intervals to
give you a backlog of available backups for restoring data.

bcollect keeps its backups directly accessible as files and directories
so you can search through them and access files with regular tools and
just copy files back as needed.

In order to save space, bcollect uses hardlinks between different
instances of the same backed-up host so multiple backups don't take up
the same space multiple times. Only files which are actually different
between two backups actually occupy space. If the file has not been
changed, a reference will be created to the original file.

Add SHA512 digests for distfiles for sysutils category

Problems found with existing digests:
	Package memconf distfile memconf-2.16/memconf.gz

Problems found locating distfiles:
	Package dc-tools: missing distfile dc-tools/abs0-dc-burn-netbsd-1.5-0-gae55ec9
	Package ipw-firmware: missing distfile ipw2100-fw-1.2.tgz
	Package iwi-firmware: missing distfile ipw2200-fw-2.3.tgz
	Package nvnet: missing distfile nvnet-netbsd-src-20050620.tgz
	Package syslog-ng: missing distfile syslog-ng-3.7.2.tar.gz

Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden).  All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
