roboshot

We have hosted the application roboshot in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about roboshot:

Powershell script that uses Robocopy and Hardlinks for creating backup snapshots on local partitions (NTFS) or remote shares (NTFS, Samba) just like the famous Rsnapshot.

Features:

• Powershell script which tries to clone the features of Rsnapshot with Windows built-in routines
• Works on local partitions (NTFS) and remote shares (NTFS, Samba)
• Uses ROBOCOPY.EXE for the copying jobs
• Copies only new and changed files to the backup repository
• Unchanged files are 'hard linked'
• Windows XP: local backups (internal, usb) -- FSUTIL.EXE
• Windows 7: local backups (internal, usb) -- MKLINK
• Windows XP + 7: remote backups -- LN.EXE
• Tested on Windows XP SP3 32 bit and Windows 7 32/64 bit
• When using on remote shares make sure the filesystem supports hard links
• Saves you a lot of storage capacity
• IMPORTANT: --->README.TXT

Audience: Advanced End Users, System Administrators, End Users/Desktop.
