Configurable bash scripts to send incremental backups of your data to a local or remote target, using rsync.

These scripts do (as many as you want) incremental backups of desired directory to another local or remote directory. The first directory acts as master (doesn’t get modified), making copies of itself at the second directory (slave). Then, you can browse the slave directory and get any file included into any previous backup.

Only new or modified data is stored (because it’s incremental), so the size of backups doesn’t grow too much.

If a backup process gets interrupted, don’t worry. You can continue it in the next run of the script without data loss and without resending previously transferred data.

In addition, there is a local backup script with special configuration, oriented to do backups for a GNU/Linux filesystem. For example, it already has omitted temporal, removable and other problematic paths, and is meant to backup to a external mount point (at /mnt ).

You can set some configuration variables to customize the script:

  • src : Path to source directory. Backups will include it’s content. May be a relative or absolute path. Overwritable by parameters.
  • dst : Path to target directory. Backups will be placed here. Must be an absolute path. Overwritable by parameters.
  • remote : ssh_config host name to connect to remote host (only for remote versions). Overwritable by parameters.
  • backupDepth : Number of backups to keep. When limit is reached, the oldest get deleted.
  • timeout : Timeout to cancel backup process, if it’s not responding.
  • pathBak0 : Directory inside dst where the more recent backup is stored.
  • partialFolderName : Directory inside dst where partial files are stored.
  • rotationLockFileName : Name given to rotation lock file, used for detecting previous backup failures.
  • pathBakN : Directory inside dst where the rest of backups are stored.
  • nameBakN : Name of incremental backup directories. An index will be added at the end to show how old they are.
  • logName : Name given to log file generated at backup.
  • inclusionFileName : Name given to the text file that contains inclusion patterns. You must create it inside directory defined by ownFolderName .
  • exclusionFileName : Name given to the text file that contains exclusion patterns. You must create it inside directory defined by ownFolderName .
  • ownFolderName : Name given to folder inside user’s home to hold configuration files and logs while backup is in progress.
  • logFolderName : Directory inside dst where the log files are stored.
  • maxLogFiles : Maximum number of log files to keep at dst ( 20 by default). Set to 1 to keep only current log, set to 0 to disable copy of log files to dst . If copy of log files is disabled, last log file is left at local ( tempLogPath ).
  • logDateCmd : Command to run to generate timestamps for log output.
  • interactiveMode : Flag to allow password login, when set to yes (only for remote versions).
  • additionalFlags : Additional parameters for rsync command, separated by space.
  • useChecksum : Flag to skip content based on checksum ( 1 , default) or mod-time & size ( 0 ) (not applied to system versions).
  • useCompression : Flag to allow using compression in transfer ( 1 , default) or not ( 0 ) (only for remote versions).

All files and folders in backup (local and remote only) get read permissions for all users, since a non-readable backup is useless. If you are worried about permissions, you can add a security layer on backup access level (FTP accounts protected with passwords, for example). You can also preserve original files and folders permissions removing the —chmod=+r flag from script. In system backup, the original permissions are preserved by default.

Setting up ssh_config (for remote versions)

This script is meant to run without user intervention, so you need to authorize your source machine to access the remote machine. To accomplish this, you should use ssh keys to identify you and set a ssh host to use them properly.

There are lots of tutorials dedicated to these topics, you can follow one of them. I won’t go into more detailed explanation on this, but here are some good references:

After that, you should use the Host value from your ssh config file as the remote value in the script.

If you really need to use this script without SSH keys authentication, don’t worry. You can set the interactiveMode configuration variable to yes , and you will be prompted for password (only once) if needed. This is useful for manual backup, when remote server requires authentication via passphrase.

Customizing configuration values

You have to set, at least, src and dst (and remote in remote versions) values, directly in the scripts or by positional parameters when running them:

  • ./rsync-incremental-backup-local /new/path/to/source /new/path/to/target ( src and dst ).
  • ./rsync-incremental-backup-remote /new/path/to/source /new/path/to/target new_ssh_remote ( src , dst and remote ).
  • ./rsync-incremental-backup-system /mnt/new/path/to/target (only dst , src is always root on this case).
  • ./rsync-incremental-backup-system-remote /mnt/new/path/to/target new_ssh_remote (only dst and remote , src is always root on this case). To restore the files ownership (user and group) from a backup, you must specify the -M—fake-super option. For example: sudo rsync -av -M—fake-super user@remote:/backup_path/* /

If you want to exclude some files or directories from backup, add their paths (relative to backup root) to the text file referenced by exclusionFileName .

Once configured with your own variable values, you can simply run the script to begin the backup process.

In addition, all configuration variables, except those who are overwritable by parameters ( src , dst and remote ), can be changed from outside by setting the variable before script execution (or exporting it as an environment variable). For example, changing ownFolderName variable without editing script:

ownFolderName=".backup" rsync-incremental-backup-remote /path/to/src /path/to/dst user@remote # Or using an environment variable (maybe set at user session startup) export ownFolderName=".backup" rsync-incremental-backup-remote /path/to/src /path/to/dst user@remote

Personally, I schedule it to run every week with anacron in user mode. This way, I don’t need to remember running it.

To use anacron in user mode, you have to follow these steps:

mkdir -p ~/.anacron/etc ~/.anacron/spool
  • Create an anacrontab file at ~/.anacron/etc with this content (or equivalent, be sure to specify the right path to script):
# /etc/anacrontab: configuration file for anacron # See anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) for details. SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin START_HOURS_RANGE=8-22 # period delay job-identifier command 7 5 weekly_backup ~/bin/rsync-incremental-backup-remote
# User anacron /usr/sbin/anacron -s -t $ /.anacron/etc/anacrontab -S $ /.anacron/spool

If you are using the default folder names, the newest data backup will be inside /data . The second newest backup will be inside /backup/backup.1 , next will be inside /backup/backup.2 and so on. Log files per backup operation will be stored at /log .

Used rsync flags explanation

  • -a : archive mode; equals -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X). Mandatory for backup usage.
  • -c : skip based on checksum, not mod-time & size. More trustworthy, but slower. Omit this flag if you want faster backups, but files without changes in modified time or size won’t be detected for include in backup.
  • -h : output numbers in a human-readable format.
  • -v : increase verbosity for logging.
  • -z : compress file data during the transfer. Less data transmitted, but slower. Omit this flag when backup target is a local device or a machine in local network (or when you have a high bandwidth to a remote machine).
  • —progress : show progress per file during transfer. Only for interactive usage.
  • —timeout : set I/O timeout in seconds. If no data is transferred for the specified time, backup will be aborted.
  • —delete : delete extraneous files from dest dirs. Mandatory for master-slave backup usage.
  • —link-dest : hardlink to files in specified directory when unchanged, to reduce storage usage by duplicated files between backups.
  • —log-file : log what we’re doing to the specified file.
  • —chmod : affect file and/or directory permissions.
  • —exclude : exclude files matching pattern.
  • —include-from : get patterns from specified file to include matching files.
  • —exclude-from : same as —exclude , but getting patterns from specified file.
  • Used only for remote backups:
    • —no-W : ensures that rsync’s delta-transfer algorithm is used, so it never transfers whole files if they are present at target. Omit only when you have a high bandwidth to target, backup may be faster.
    • —partial-dir : put a partially transferred file into specified directory, instead of using a hidden file in the original path of transferred file. Mandatory for allow partial transfers and avoid misleads with incomplete/corrupt files.
    • -W : ignores rsync’s delta-transfer algorithm, so it always transfers whole files. When you have a high bandwidth to target (local filesystem or LAN), backup may be faster.
    • -A : preserve ACLs (implies -p).
    • -M—fake-super : simulates super-user activities at remote side, by saving/restoring the privileged attributes via special extended attributes, that are attached to each file. The filesystem on the remote host must support extended attributes. The -M (same as —remote-option ) prefix is used to apply the option only to remote side of the transfer.
    • —numeric-ids : transfer numeric values for user and group IDs, rather than using user and group names and mapping them at both ends.
    • -r : recurse into directories.
    • —remove-source-files : sender removes synchronized files (non-dir).

    Including and excluding files and directories

    Note that patterns you define at —include-from takes precedence over defined at —exclude-from , because the former is provided before to rsync command.

    If you include a file or directory, it cannot be excluded later (only first match applies).

    Check Rsync filter rules for more information about which pattern syntax you can use in include and exclude files.
