[rsnapshot-discuss] Realtime Tracking of Snapshot Changes

[David Stringfield]

Hi all,



I know that versions of this question have already been well hashed
already but I think (hope) I am asking something slightly different.



Rather than trying to use rsnapshot-du to check the size between snapshots
as is the traditional (slow) method, I was hoping there might be some way
to log the size of the snaps in real time as they are being calculated?



It seems to me a lot of the calculation work is being done at the time
that's being run but this is quite possibly a misunderstanding of the way
rsnapshot works.



Assuming it's the case, feel free to tell me just "NO" but if anyone feels
like explaining why this isn't possible then please do.



Thanks,

David Stringfield

Given that the tats are produced at run time, you'd probably want to redirect the output to a file and then wrote a script to parse that and turn it into something meaningful.

I'd be happy to give some time to this as I'd find it useful too.

Chris.
