chris.d, 28 October 2012 Chris Dennis has been working intermittently on brandysnap for over a year, and it's nearing some sort of completion.
It's a Perl script that uses rsync to create backup snapshots. Which hardly makes it unique — there are plenty of other scripts that do the same sort of thing.
What's different about brandysnap is the way it handles which snapshots to keep and which to delete as they get older. Other scripts assign importance to snapshots when they are created — for example, Friday afternoon snapshots may be considered more important that Tuesday [continued…]

chris.d, 1 October 2012 I've been playing with Linux for over ten years now, and working with computers since 'user interface' meant a roll of punched paper tape.
I'm currently self-employed running Fordingbridge Computer Services, which sadly means that I have to deal with Windows most of the time. I have introduced several people and a couple of small businesses to Linux though, and many more to the likes of Firefox and OpenOffice.
Since October 2012 I've been the HantsLUG hostmaster and webmaster, looking after our BitFolk VPS and starting [continued…]
