Package CedarBackup2
source code
Implements local and remote backups to CD or DVD media.
Cedar Backup is a software package designed to manage system backups
for a pool of local and remote machines. Cedar Backup understands how to
back up filesystem data as well as MySQL and PostgreSQL databases and
Subversion repositories. It can also be easily extended to support other
kinds of data sources.
Cedar Backup is focused around weekly backups to a single CD or DVD
disc, with the expectation that the disc will be changed or overwritten
at the beginning of each week. If your hardware is new enough, Cedar
Backup can write multisession discs, allowing you to add incremental data
to a disc on a daily basis.
Besides offering command-line utilities to manage the backup process,
Cedar Backup provides a well-organized library of backup-related
functionality, written in the Python programming language.
