GetBack Backup System 
M. Wolf Halton <[email protected]>
README

  The GetBack backup system is designed specifically for libraries, to handle custom backups 
for ILS and Repository software needs.  GetBack is intended to be simple to implement and 
simple to use.  The dependencies are common open-source packages found on most Linux and 
Unix servers. Specifically ssh server, bash, cp, rm, mv, and optionally, rsync. 

The first prototype was developed in 2011 for a very fragile system that could not be updated 
and upon which no new software could be installed.  This documentation is related to Version 0.5. 

GetBack makes a compressed backup of files required for rebuilding critical applications.  
The design of this application presumes basic Linux administrative skills and understanding of 
the command line for basic file manipulation.  This documentation also assumes that you use a 
Linux desktop as your usual window into your network.  

More details on installation and use are available in the GetBack_System_Documentation.odt document.
