### Index of Maintained Scripts

- `email-backup`

Uses rsync to back up mail folders from a remote system. For use by those who run their own email servers. O_o

*IMPORTANT NOTE:* The scripts below have not gotten much use in quite a while, and might need some maintenance before being servicable again.

## Index of Poorly-Maintained Scripts

- `drupal-backup-all`

Uses Drush aliases to keep "backup" and "update" versions of a site in sync. The aliases and backup sites must be installed manually.

- `git-backup-all`

Uses `git clone --bare` and/or `git fetch` to mirror remote git repositories.

- `syncwith`

Run a two-way sync with another machine. Very convenient, but has some shortcomings, and can be dangerous if not used carefuly. Only use in conjunction with a robust backup strategy.

- `snapshot2` / `pullsnapshot` / `migratehistories

A robust backup strategy based on the behaivor of rsync with hard links to produce a historical record of backups with minimal disk usage requirements.
