Some tooling for a centralized rsnapshot structure.
Rsnapshot is very nice, but you have to check your backups manually, which is tiresome. Also, it does not scale very easy with the number of hosts. These rsnapshot-tools try to alleviate some of this problems.
This solution probably won't scale to an arbitrary size, but if you just want a few dozen hosts in your backup, this might just be your solution.
Copy content of script directory to /usr/local/sbin, example:
cp scripts/* /usr/local/sbin/
Modify those files constant section to customize LOGPATH,CONFPATH and MAIL - there is not yet a central configuration file.
Ensure every hosts you want to backup has a valid .conf file on CONFPATH, and a valid conf.json file is in CONFPATH. There is an example file in the examples directory.
Add a crontab to execute rsnapshot-tools_backup_all and rsnapshot-tools_report_all whenever you want backups or mails.
Ensure every hosts has a valid rsnapshot configuration. Errors will be sent to you via mail.
