NAME
rsbackup-snapshot-hook - rsync-based backup utility
SYNOPSIS
rsbackup-snapshot-hook [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
rsbackup-snapshot-hook creates and removes LVM snapshots when config-
ured as a pre- or post-volume-hook for rsbackup(1).
Snapshots will only be created for volumes that have a corresponding
directory in the snapshot directory. For instance, a snapshot will be
created for the volume root if /var/lib/rsbackup/snapshots/root exists.
(Use the --snaps option to change the snapshot directory.) Such vol-
umes must be stored in a logical volume.
Leftover snapshots are always unmounted and removed before creation.
Snapshots are given only a fraction of the size of the original volume.
Use the --divisor to change this.
After creation snapshots are fsck'd and mounted. If an error occurs in
any part of the creation process, the partially snapshot created snap-
shot may be left in place (and ultimately be torn down when the post-
volume-hook is run).

/var/lib/rsbackup/snapshots.
--divisor, -d DIVISOR
