Patrick Marchand cd5b5adce7 Swich source documentation from markdown to mdoc(7)

mdoc(7) is a better format for man(1) pages and the browser viewable
documentation can be generated with mandoc(1)

	mandoc -T markdown bkctld.8

Moves alot of information around, so it was easier to make one large
commit rather than have bits and bobs of information missing in the
various commits.

Install

A Debian package is available in the Evolix repository

echo "http://pub.evolix.net/jessie/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt update
apt install bkctld

Then edit /etc//bkctld

Chroot dependencies

The chroot jails depend on these packages

apt install \
	bash \
	coreutils \
	sed \
	dash \
	mount \
	rsync \
	openssh-server \
	openssh-sftp-server \
	libc6-i386 \
	libc6

Client dependencies

The clients only require OpenSSH and rsync.

Cron job for incremental backups

Edit the root crontab

# crontab -e
+ 30 10 * * * /usr/sbin/bkctld inc && /usr/sbin/bkctld rm

Notes

If you want mutiples backups in a day (1 by hour maximum) you can run bkctld inc multiples times, if you want to keep incremental backups for ever, just don't run bkctld rm.
