LvBak - efficient backups of LVM volumes

With LvBak you can backup your LVM volumes easily and efficiently in Linux. LvBak is written in Ruby and can be used for free under the terms of the GNU General Public License (Open Source).

LvBak creates a new backup revision by hardlinking the previous backup and updating that new revision with rsync - that's fast, space saving and efficient because only the changed files are copied. In contrast to conventional incremental backups, you have always the full directory tree of all saved files of your filesystems in every backup revision.

LvBak is hosted on GitHub.

The config file is expected to be /etc/lvbak.conf See lvbak.conf.example for an example.
