This is somehow similar to rsnapshot, just the directory layout is different:

<backup_set>/<snapshot_id>/...
e.g.:
server1/0/...
server1/1/...
server1/2/...
server1/3/...
server2/0/...
server2/1/...
...

In the directories 0..N, there is a file BACKUP_TIMESTAMP that contains date tool output.

So in your example, which would be RSYNC_ROOT - is it server1/ or server1/0/? I think it should be the latter, right?

ThomasWaldmann commented 2 years ago

the root is the directory where the discovery starts (by recursing into it), so (IIRC), RSYNC_ROOT = server1 here.
