bash script for making snapshots via rsync + rotation of the snapshots (automatically by cron)
written by: robbytobby on 25.6.2012
usage: just call the script in the crontab: backitup [ -f CONFIG-FILE ] if -f is not present it defaults to "backitup.cfg"
see backitup.cfg for options
The script makes rsync-snapshots and rotates them. It is possible to check the backup-destination for a minimum amount of disk-space. It is possible to remount the backup-disk ro after the backup runs - this only works if the backup-base-dir is the mountpoint of the backup-volume.
