What is rsnapshot?

rsnapshot streamlines the creation of regular snapshots for both local and remote systems using SSH. By employing hard links wherever possible, it greatly reduces the required disk space for backups. With an appropriate setup, it can usually be configured in just a few minutes. Users are empowered to restore their files independently without needing root user intervention. There’s no requirement to handle tapes, as backups can run automatically and require no further management once they are set up. Additionally, rsnapshot keeps a predetermined number of snapshots, which can be modified, preventing endless disk space consumption. This tool is entirely developed in Perl and does not depend on any external libraries, having been tested with Perl versions from 5.004 to 5.16.3. It is also compatible with any reasonably modern UNIX-like operating system, making it widely accessible. The user-friendly nature and effectiveness of rsnapshot position it as an excellent option for efficiently managing backups while ensuring data security.
