Struct ruplicity::Snapshot

pub struct Snapshot<'a> { /* private fields */ }

A snapshot in a backup.

Implementations

impl<'a> Snapshot<'a>

pub fn time(&self) -> Timespec

Returns the time in which the snapshot has been taken.

pub fn is_full(&self) -> bool

Returns whether the snapshot is a full backup.

A full snapshot does not depend on previous snapshots.

pub fn is_incremental(&self) -> bool

Returns whether the snapshot is an incremental backup.

An incremental snapshot depends on all the previous incremental snapshots and the first previous full snapshot. This set of dependent snapshots is called “chain”.

pub fn num_volumes(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of volumes contained in the snapshot.

pub fn as_backup_set(&self) -> &BackupSet

Returns the low level representation of the snapshot.

pub fn entries(&self) -> Result<SnapshotEntries<'_>>

Returns the files and directories present in the snapshot.

Be aware that using this functionality means that all the signature files in the current backup chain must be loaded, and this could take some time, depending on the file access provided by the backend and the signatures size.
