Dirvish is a backup software that operates on a network, utilizing disks for quick and efficient data protection. Its rotation system ensures that data is always up-to-date and ready for recovery.
To use Dirvish, you need Perl and Time::ParseDate in addition to rsync version 2.5.6 or later. The installation process requires running the "sh install.sh" script from the directory where you have downloaded or unpacked the software. This script will guide you through the installation process and requires you to have write privileges.
In the recent release of Dirvish, several improvements have been made to increase the functionality and usability of the software. A logic inversion error in the pre-client and post-client that resulted in the wrong working directory has been corrected. Moreover, the code 24 error has been changed to a warning and equal signs are now used instead of double equal signs in the installation script. Lastly, Dirvish now supports using space-protected backslashes in source tree names.
Overall, Dirvish is a reliable backup solution that is easy to use and install. Its ability to create complete filesystem backups while being unattended will save users time while providing peace of mind.
