I'd like to retrieve the following stats from rsnapshot

  • files synced
  • added files
  • modded files
  • deleted files

Is there a feature to retrieve these in rsnapshot, or is there another product that's able to do it?

EDIT: As requested, I'll try to show that I'm not just asking what I want to do without any research.

I wasn't able to locate any rsnapshot feature doing this. Maybe I'm searching in a wrong direction.

So, I've built a not very pretty script, called each time before rsnapshot is ran. This Perl script stores each file MD5, in order to compare backup files structures between rsnapshot updates. I'm pretty sure it's worthless to show this code here.

I think that keeping an eye on what change on a server, for example, is a useful feature. So, I'm asking.

@pauska Most of the time, I'm trying to search for an answer myself, which is not the case here.

Thanks
