RVM is an archive manager that uses rsync to
manage backups of multiple clients across multiple
logical partitions (vaults). It has some features
that some other rsync-based backup schemes lack,
such as being written in C++, needing no scripts
or other programs than rsync and any binaries on
which rsync depends (such as SSH), the ability to
manage multiple instances of rsync connections to
separate clients in parallel, the ability to use
multiple logical partitions (vaults) in a
configurable fashion for purporses of redundancy
and added reliability, and the use of hard links
for files that have not changed from one archive
to the next.
