This software employs rsync to handle archives of clients stored in more than one logical partition.
One of the distinguishing features of Rsync Vault Manager is that it is written in C, providing exceptional performance and minimal system overhead. It also requires no scripts or additional programs besides rsync and any dependent binaries such as SSH. This simplifies the backup process and makes it far less cumbersome than some other rsync-based backup schemes.
Another significant advantage is its ability to manage multiple instances, which is particularly valuable for organizations with a large number of data sources or extensive data storage requirements.
The development team built Rsync Vault Manager on an x86 platform using Linux RedHat 9.0 w/ GCC 3.2.2 and an UltraSPARC platform using Solaris 8 w/ GCC 2.95.5. It uses GNU autoconf/automake scripts for compilation and installation, ensuring that the software runs efficiently and without issues.
Overall, Rsync Vault Manager is an effective and reliable software solution for managing backups across multiple clients and logical partitions or vaults. Its streamlined approach, minimal system overhead, and ability to handle multiple instances make it an essential tool for any organization that values efficient and secure data management.
