[rdiff-backup-users] scripts to tie everything together

[Robert Weber]

I haven't posted in a while but I was wondering if anyone is running
rdiff-backup in a similar way I do(or wants to).  I run from a single
server to multiple clients, and tie everything together with shell scripts
so that my students can keep an eye on everything with simple text files.
I don't like gui, but many people do.  A simple tk front-end would make
this into an instant gui.  Anyway, if people want to look at the
scripts(not perfect, but they work well) you can grab them from

ftp://boulder.colorado.edu/pub/local-sources/rdiff-wrapper.tar.gz

they are just born, but it allows hands off administration.  I may also add
docs/etc if people show an interest.  In addition there are utilites that 
convert the configs to a simple amanda disklist for those of you who like to 
backup your mirrors to tape(I do, with 2 months saved every month).  All you 
would need is a config entry for the "rdiff-mirror" type:

define dumptype rdiff-mirror {
    global-tar
    comment "dirs that are an rdiff-backup mirror"
    compress client best
# if you only want the current data, uncomment below
#    exclude "rdiff-backup-data"
    priority high
    maxdumps 1
}
