Paparazzi is a Ruby gem for making incremental snapshot rsync backups of a directory, maintaining hourly, daily, weekly, monthy, and yearly snapshots of directory state and files without consuming much more drive space than a single copy would (depending on how frequently existing files change). Only changed or new files are copied to the new snapshot. Hard links are created in the new snapshot to previously existing unchanged files, allowing for frequent backups to be made of very large directories (see How it works below). Older snapshots maintain versions of files as they existed at the time that snapshot was made. Paparazzi automatically purges out old snapshots, and allows you to define how many copies at each interval to keep.
