About twcbackup
twcbackup is usually run automatically (from cron) every night to generate a backup of all your data. Every time twcbackup is run, it sends a report by e-mail. These reports show whether the backup succeeded or not and contain a detailed backup log.The backup settings can be edited using the graphical configuration program twcbackupconf.
As backup methods rsync, tar, postgres dumps and bfsync backups are supported. The recommended backup method to backup files is the bfsync backup. It supports:
- file level duplication (every file content is SHA1-hashed, and only backuped once)
- automatic deletion of old backups
- backup of local data
- backup of remote machines
- ssh and rsync (to backup Unix machines)
- smb and rsync (to backup Windows machines)
- replication of the backup repository
