DrSbackup software provides a mechanism for backing up systems by allowing disk-to-disk backup. It ensures the preservation of important data and enables easy restoration when required.
I recently had the opportunity to use drsbackup, a software designed for backing up systems disk-to-disk, and overall, it was a valuable tool in my backup arsenal.
First and foremost, it's important to note that drsbackup isn't meant to be used for periodic backups. It's designed to be utilized as a one-off backup solution when upgrading a system or making other changes. That being said, it can be extremely effective in those scenarios.
There are three primary modes of operation:
1. Back up all filesystems on the system using a df-local script that lists all local filesystems.
2. Back up specific filesystems using the -f command.
3. Back up all files that have changed since initial installation using the stamp module (requires stamp/check-stamp/elim-dirs).
In addition to these modes, drsbackup has additional independent modes of operation that allow for splitting out files, copying only files that have changed, and copying all files to a series of tar archives.
One of the best features of drsbackup is that you can choose whether or not to compress transfers, which is usually what one wants, but not always.
Overall, I found drsbackup to be a reliable and effective software for backing up systems disk-to-disk. If you're interested in utilizing it, you can run it with the -h command to access usage instructions.
