rsync

Last night we were discussing the fact that Drush RSYNC was blowing away the files instead of just updating the files that have changed.

The classical mysqldump is not enough to backup a drupal website.

With Snapshot, you can freeze your website and make a clean snapshot, mysql data and files. Different backup type can be done, simple copy, rsync and even rdiff-backup wich provide differential backup.

For now, only myIsam tables can be backuped. I follow percona work to handle innodb soon. Postgres must not be hard to handle.

For now, backup is local. Soon, distant copy will be handled with rsync, ftp and even S3.
