-Type
-
- make
-
-in the dss source directory to build the dss executable and copy it to
-some directory that is included in your PATH, e.g. to $HOME/bin or to
-/usr/local/bin.
-
-Note that you'll likely need a recent version of
-ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gengetopt/ (gnu gengetopt) to compile dss.
-
-Optionally, type
-
- make man
-
-to create the man page of dss. This invokes help2man so make sure
-that help2man is installed on your system. Note that the man page is
-just the nroff variant of the output of "dss --detailed-help".
-
-dss is known to compile on Linux, MacOS, Solaris, FreeBSD and
-NetBSD. However, it is run-tested only on Linux.
-
-Also make sure that http://rsync.samba.org/ (rsync) is installed on
-your system. Version 2.6.1 or newer is required.
-
-Example:
---------
-
-Suppose you'd like to create snapshots of the existing directory
-
- /foo/bar
-
-in the directory
-
- /baz/qux.
-
-Create the config file
-
- ~/.dssrc
-
-that contains the values for the source and the destination directories
-as follows:
-
- echo 'source-dir "/foo/bar"' > ~/.dssrc
- echo 'dest-dir "/baz/qux"' >> ~/.dssrc
-
-Then execute the commands
-
- mkdir /baz/qux
- dss --run
-
-In order to print the list of all snapshots created so far, use
-
- dss --list
-
-Yes, it's really that easy. Of course, dss supports many more
-features and config options such as taking snapshots from remote
-hosts and several hooks that are executed on certain events, for
-example whenever a snapshot was created successfully. Try
-
- dss -h
-
-for an overview of all supported command line options or
-
- dss --detailed-help
-
-for the full help text.
